Pine Ridge is the POOREST reservation in this country AND one of the top three POOREST COMMUNITIES in this country.
It is not “handouts” when the government pays (what little they pay, mind you) for health-care etc. to the reservations. IT’S A TINY FRACTION OF WHAT YOU OWE FOR THE VAST AMOUNTS OF LAND YOU HAVE TAKEN OVER.
Yes, many people are “forced” to stay there. And those...

That was fast.
A few days ago the news broke that the pending Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) was put on hold until consensus was reached.
Although the announcement was rather vague, some news sites and blogs declared SOPA dead, or “shelved,” or erased from history.
Wishful thinking, because today SOPA is back in full force.

I’m going to stick a little caveat on this because I think that “care” is the wrong choice of word - I would care that they are trans because I would want to be receptive to their needs and what they want. Instead I will specifically say; I would not be bothered by it nor regard it in a negative way, and specifically disregard it in any decision...

Guys, ACTA does not go into effect tomorrow, nor is a vote happening tomorrow. While the petition on AccessNow is, I’m sure, an extremely impressive benchmark (100,000, guys, we did it!) we don’t need 100,000 signatures or 150,000 or whatever number they’ll adjust it to when they hit 150,000 (as they should, because they’re trying to drum up support, and numbers breed urgency.)

I can’t trust my mother.
(content notice for descriptions of abusive dynamic, self harm and privileged wankery)
So for some reason, my mom started a fight with me today. She has some really fucked up ideas of who I am and why I do what I do. And she has a really fucked up habit of gaslighting me big time. If it weren’t for my sisters and my spouse, I might still believe her when she...

Russian: And you are lynching negroes.
Folks refuse to get this. We were going head to head with the Soviet Union at the time. And then video coverage of the Civil Rights movement wasn't just airing on American televisions, but on TVs all over the WORLD. Folks internationally saw Whites beating, hosing, siccing dogs on, spitting on defenseless Black people. They saw Black people protesting and asked why they were doing that? Oh, Americans made them SLAVES and then STILL didn't give them their full rights after Emancipation?! American states legislated constant humiliation and cruelty to their own citizens? We were in Vietnam. How could we preach our freedom, justice and the American way to the world when we were denying it to citizens at home? Yup, the passing of the Civil Rights Act WAS a PR move. AND it was a move to take away the thing the Soviets could always bludgeon us with.
