As many people are currently protesting the selection of a Trump presidency, there have been many who recognize that though the environment is heightened, nothing has changed. The U.S. is just revealing itself to people who never paid attention. As the current president takes part in the annual tradition of pardoning a turkey, human rights violations exist for Indigenous peoples right now- as Obama attempts to shrug it away. War criminals can be outright pardoned, while the president commutes high numbers of people (with very steep conditions).
As we mentioned last time, a focus on destroying the ideology which enables these people to thrive is what is needed. The interests of 'the president' are not the same interests as the people. We should be supporting and standing beside our indigenous family (and anyone else organizing and mobilizing against an inhumane system) right now.
