In the #MysticMassacre, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1637 during the #PequotWar, English colonists massacred 500 #Pequot villagers. The US inherited a legacy of intentional #genocide of #Indigenous peoples, hence its sympathy for other colonizers and the continuous denial of its past.

If you're from the #NewYorkCity #NYC area like me you've known #Trump was a piece of shit since forever

Context:

Trump was busy in 1993 losing money in #casinos in #AtlanticCity #NewJersey- gee, what a "great businessman"

Anyway, he doesn't like Foxwoods #Casino opening in #Connecticut under #Pequot ownership

So he goes after whether or not someone is truly #NativeAmerican

Why does anyone listen to this orange turd?

How the fuck did we get here?

Oh right:

#bigotry #plutocracy

🤦

You should really check out the book "1491" by Charles C Mann.

Also available as an audio book for commuters I just discovered!

Two quick ones on resistance:
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1636, Massachusetts Colony formed three regiments to defend their #SettlerColony from the #Pequot (they later wiped the tribe out), and in 1867 a #Fenian militant set off a bomb in London in support of Irish independence.

It seemed appropriate to revisit this historical event given all that is going on in the world.

Proposed bill to restore the indigenous name: #Pequot River to the #Connecticut #river through New London and Groton. The Pequot people are supportive, as are many non-indigenous locals. https://abcnews.go.com/US/indigenous-tribes-restored-connecticut-river-proposed-bill/story?id=96567103&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=news_tab
