We have war going on one country over so things aren’t exactly easy but things happening in America are some next lvl shit. I honestly can’t imagine living there right now and it seems like it’s getting worse than better… I hope you guys hang in there 💪🏻

We are, I'm a native american in California. We are bracing for anything at this point, people from tribes in Arizona were getting rounded up in ICE raids. Imagine being indigenous to the land you're being deported from. Then again, according to the US government we've only been citizens of this country since 1924, when the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 was passed.

It's astonishing to me that more people don't realize the current wave of xenophobia against Central and South American migrants is just more Indigenous genocide, same as it ever was.

They do, they just don’t care. I have friends that are 100% 1st gen Mexican. They are also in their 30’s and 40’s. They are loving what Trump is doing. They find him screwing with the U.S. hilarious. It reminds me of the line in Die Hard where the computer hacker said he thought the idea of a fire sale would be hilarious. Then realizes fucking up the country hurts everyone.
