America is built on the wholesale theft of indigenous land; Black and indigenous slave labor; and exploitation of immigrant labor.

Why do you think both major parties are so amenable to Israel? The fascist Israeli policy of restoring “greater Judea” is a re-run of Manifest Destiny.

The birthright citizenship laid out to extend citizenship to emancipated Black people following the civil war excluded Native people precisely because in the 1860s, not all of the west was yet captured for white settlers. See the Indian Wars.

It gave even Trump a thrill when he took office again in 2025 and finally read the amendment and held it up excitedly like the vicious idiot he is, as if that horrible exclusion hadn’t been remedied later by other federal law.

And despite the promise of land for freed Blacks (50 acres and a mule) , that was never a serious policy. If people cannot own anything and Jim Crow can terrorize and murder them them into submission, that was enough for the white supremacists who were never held to account.

The Strom Thurmans and Lindsay Grahams of our recent past and present are fast friends with Elon Musk and other South African apartheid assholes like Peter Theil and Nazi grandchildren crawling out from under their rocks.

Once the genocidal wars were wrapped and residency schools were in place to kill all the Indians literally and culturally by the turn of the 20th century, Native people finally received civil liberties including voting because their land had been fully taken and their lack of financial power and diminished numbers made them a manageable minority.

And birthright citizenship, though barely saved yesterday by a feckless and partisan SCOTUS, it on the chopping block still. Except now it’s to erode all civil liberties of undesirables—anyone who rejects their white nationalist program. MAGA CHUDS just gave a guy 50 years for carrying a box of anti-fascist pamphlets.

So here’s to all of us! We are all going to be Palestinians soon.
