Battle of Frenchman’s Butte (May 28, 1885)
On May 28, Cree warriors dug in at Frenchman’s Butte resisted an attack by Middleton’s Alberta Field Force in northern Saskatchewan. Although government forces withdrew, it had little strategic effect after Batoche’s fall. 🇨🇦 #NorthWestRebellion #FrenchmansButte #Cree #Canada #Colonization

"The treaty was a peace and friendship treaty to allow #colonization on our lands, with the understanding that we were going to share. So, when they take Crown land and turn it into private land, that is a violation of that treaty," https://www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/24/news/wonder-valley-kevin-o%27leary-alberta-first-nation?nih=DnXnwd7eM3OpxcmTIj5NY0CVErN6Tcm1tk5F6M65txQ

Another reason that #ElonSucks! [Spoiler alert -- #Starbase city is expanding!]
From 2022: Defending #NativeAmerican #SacredSites From #ElonMusk and #SpaceX
By Frank Hopper
Dec 21, 2022"The #CarrizoComecrudo Tribe of Texas is suing to protect the tribe’s #AncestralLand.
"From an observation deck near the top of his South Texas rocket launch tower, Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and self-proclaimed proponent of free speech, looks northward to South Padre Island, home to many ancient village sites of the Carrizo Comecrudo Tribe of Texas.
"In a video published last May to the YouTube channel Everyday Astronaut, Musk is seen looking over the tower’s railing and down at a 'farm' of huge rocket fuel storage tanks filled with liquid oxygen and methane gas. These will service weekly launches of SpaceX’s massive #SuperHeavy and #Starship orbital launch vehicles in 2023.
"Musk surveys the land from the gleaming metal launch tower, looking down on an #ecosystem filled with #EndangeredSpecies, such as #Ocelots and Kemp’s #RidleySeaTurtles. To the east, he sees the waves of the Gulf of Mexico crashing on #BocaChicaBeach, the site of the Carrizo Comecrudo creation story. To the northwest just a few miles away is #GarciaPasture, an #ArchaeologicalSite containing the remains of a #PreColumbian village nearly a thousand years old.
"Musk wears a black T-shirt with 'Occupy Mars' emblazoned across the front, as if his #corporate conquest and #colonization of space were some sort of righteous protest. As he stands atop his multibillion-dollar mountain of #ToxicMachinery, he cannot see the Indigenous people below who have come to offer tobacco to their ancestors.
"Musk doesn’t see them because, according to the Carrizo Comecrudo, he is blind to the concerns of the #IndigenousPeople who fought and died for the land he now occupies."

Next up in my book pile -- "#NoSpiritualSurrender - Indigenous #Anarchy" by #KleeBenally, (2023) "#PrairieFire - The Politics of Revolutionary #AntiImperialism" by #TheWeatherUnderground (1974), and "#Antifa - The #AntiFascist Handbook" by #MarkBray (2017).
I've posted excerpts from Klee's book in the past (which I will re-boost). Both Klee and Mark Bray are in agreement as to who the real enemy is -- the forces of #Colonialism and #WhiteSupremacy.
Bray writes, "The only long-term solution to the fascist menace is to undermine its pillar of strength in society grounded not only in white supremacy, but also in #ableism, #heteronormativity, #patriarchy, #nationalism, #transphobia, #ClassRule, and many others," (Antifa, page 209), and offers up #Socialism, which is #Antiauthoritarian and #NonHierarchical as a solution.
And indeed, 1974's Prairie Fire, paints a similar picture, offering up a map of North America before and after #Colonization. (And yes, I would love to scan in all the illustrations and tables, but unfortunately, the 1974 copy is well-read and very delicate. It belonged to a coven-mate and fellow activist friend, who left it to me when they passed away -- along with a slew of other radical and pagan books). I did find some archived versions, sans illustrations, online.

I just got called a #Nazi by someone who mentioned me in a post then later deleted it.
So I will call that person a #coward because they can't stand by their convictions the way the Nazis did.
Name calling is so over rated and stupid. Insecure people shouldn't have to be able to influence diversion like this on a constant basis.
this exact response is the reason why centralized platforms target you now.
Here's a fact for you guys.
#Hitlerian ideology existed far longer than the #European attempted #colonization of everything into a #German #Reich which effectively makes #Nazism prone to regional difference, all be it one with the potential #historical #power to have long lasting consequences on the people who at the time, didn't see it coming as satellite states emerged from it.
So let's face it. I'm not #German I'm #Canadian and speak #English and no other #language as such.
For anyone who really wants to know, the term #neonazi exists for people who #self-identify as being simpathetic to Hitlerian doctrine.
I've #studied this extensively, because I think in a lot of ways, we never concluded #WWII completely from the #human #psyche and that is very frustrating to see this #tribal resurgence come back into #living #memory again.
So let's say that the year is 1940 something and not 2020 something. And let's point out the fact, that #National #Communism is an idea that got exported 80 some odd years into the #future to now.
Even if that's the case, the world has changed a lot since that time. And we've gotten stupider as a result of being primarily lazy with our own ambitions.
This is how dumb you guys are for doing this. And I know what you try to #suggest as such. That we are in such a #state of irreparable #disagreement, that this is the best you can come up with to #distance yourself from any sort of wider #context that doesn't fit your #narrative of #people who disagree with you.
So what? Can we not have an honest conversation about a few things without making solutions barred by political disconnectivity? That's exactly what the Nazi's proposed to do accept their solution wasn't just silence, it was death and destruction on a scale that has never truly went away ever since subsequent governments around our world, came into power and upgraded weapons systems continuously while operating elite networks from the shadows. In an effort, to instigate things like the #world #economic #forum and other big #thinktank organizations into a much broader sense of hostility than any of us individually call for as citizens of any and every nation.
I will say it loudly and #proudly as such. I am not someone who wants any group of people to face a premature end of their life on this planet, based on factors that nobody can control. And even if we can, I still want us to live our lives unimpeded by political #violence of any kind. And that includes #faith based groups to get along within #community spaces that do not challenge monomorphic #dominance at every step of the way.
I am disgusted at the #tribalism going on infecting every aspect of a normal #life facing my generation. And to just throw words like this out there, without any existential #planning or forethought on how this entire wretched #ideology can finally meet the dustbin of #history as such, to put it to #rest has no basis in #reality at all.
Look. I'm against people controling my life in ways I don't want them to. But that's true for all of us. So if you're going to name call, just remember that not everyone will take that lying down with a straight face and not move a mustle in the direction of a #fighting stance your way afterward.
I will not react in that manner, because I do put #peace and #prosperity first. And I don't censor people if they have opposing views to my own. But that's me. It's not you, and if you're that much of a coward to the point where you essentially do the same thing, only after you #feel #safe behind a cyber void, all the power to you.
But I bring this up publicly because reputations like this, although they're not supposed to, they actually do effect how highly you rank as a content provider. And on a shared internet, that carries more weight than you might think. Especially in today's toxic divided world where prayer is so much needed more so than ignorance and stupidity, where none can be found.
I don't want to live in a world where people start literally weaponizing eternity over a personal choice of faith. Nor do I want to live in one, where not choosing faith of any kind, let alone mandated ones, will land you as a person who is a continuous victim of statelessness by your actual neighbor in kind.
The Abrahamic religions are a perfect example (one of many in context) that have done more harm to divide people, than any other group in human history combined. And I am not one to book ban, but if those religions want to continue spewing their vile trash all over the place, it's time to set a precedent. But even still, that requires rethinking your approach to lead by example, and not paying attention to the example someone else can't lead by. Which again, makes book banning, the thing the Nazi's did, utterly archaic and barbaric to me
Wake up people. We don't live in a world that's so hard done by, that it can't be repaired. And it starts with refusing to use a tool at your disposal against someone you barely even had words with, because you can, in a way that significantly challenges their right to coexist alongside you.
The only way you'll learn discernment, is by understanding this as a core concept. I have all the tools at my disposal as a server instance owner to really stick it to people if I choose to. But so too does the US government own nuclear weapons to stick it to us if they chose to. And I count my blessings every time I wake up, and we haven't regressed that far into mass destruction to which there is no return. So likewise, because and due to that, I practice discernment out of choice, even when I can legally get away with being a lot harsher. I do not do so out of pity, but out of respect.
So let's take a second and thank the Nazi's for coming into our lives. Not for their ideology, or their vile addiction to power and hatred. But because they taught us, to be better people to not be like them because they failed at suppressing the human spirit.
I don't want to see you pull some shit online you wouldn't in get away with in real life. Not because I want you to be oppressed, but because the more we treat our communities like bridges connecting real people together, the less likely we'll respond to situations with outlandish and stupid methods of containment until and unless we have no other choice but to defend against systematic collapse.
Please know the power of your presence and use it. I don't want to have to be the only one who does. I'm fully aware that I'm not in control of what someone else does. But so long as they're not doing something to you that you wouldn't want, let them be and move on. That's what being responsible gets you in 2026.
I wish I didn't have to spell this out. But honestly, what hurts me more so than the accusation of something that isn't even real. Is that, you use that as a justification to do something that is real, with lasting consequences on not just reputation, but disinterest without a trail of provocation to go along with it. It'd be not unlike setting your neighborhood ablaze because the pizza delivery guy was 5 minutes late.
If this kind of antisocial behaviour isn't course corrected, our 30 something year old generation will be the last to have known the meaning of true freedom as we know it, because people like you, will get more attention by being underhanded, rather than straight up and honest about where we stand. And as such, would force the natural rather than enforced suppression of sudden unpredictability, back where it rightfully belongs. In the could have been moments of our lives, but not in the never were enactments of them.
Or in other words, focusing on the self you become not as a hot headed entity, or a cold calculating monster. But the one in between, that sees both sides, and not just the one you embody because you think it's going to matter to a fault, rather than a cause.
Stay informed, and know you are not alone in caring for the same things I do. History doesn't always get things right, but that's why we talk about it, rather than remaining silent and hoping it goes away on its own.
For some situations, that can happen. But this isn't one of them.
Thank you for all that you are. I appreciate you.
