Centering Western perspectives of "true" history by calling our Indigenous histories "prehistory" & insinuating we are only modern due to colonization are two of many ways we are gaslit into assimilation and conformity. Ernestine Hayes (Lingít) says it brilliantly here ✨️ youtu.be/ejKXuPt6rEY?...

Day one of Obama's term, the GOP was facing the same odds and declared unanimously and unambiguously that they would not help him a lick and anyone who didn't like it could eat shit. It largely worked, and they left the literal playbook for the Dems - who have instantly surrendered.
