After watching politics for a few decades, I now have a strong negative reaction to every suggestion that a new sports arena will/should/could be built, like this announcement (first pic) that the San Antonio Spurs want a new one. The history of major league #sports stadiums in the #usa is a shitshow of #corruption and theft.
The worst case I personally know (because I live in Western NY): In 2002, Buffalo and WNY residents rejected Hochul's request for $600M for a new #BuffaloBills stadium. A few very rich people really wanted that stadium (they got sweetheart deals for concessions, etc.), so she broke the law to appropriate "shared" funds from the Seneca Nation of Indians.
The conquest did not end. Occupation did not end. And I will not attend any events in that fucking stadium, even if I think #TheBills are about as cool as an #NFL team can be.
(Subtext: NY State is "blue" in particular ways. After I moved here one of my friends said that NY governors have a "D" by their name but you don't get elected NY Governor unless you behave like a mafia boss)

About Murder by Decree
Murder by Decree is an #uncensored #record of the planned #extermination of #IndigenousChildren in #Canada’s murderous Indian #ResidentialSchools. It is issued as a corrective #CounterReport to the miscarriage of #justice by Church and State known as the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” #TRC. Based on eyewitness #testimonies and #archival #documentation deliberately suppressed or ignored by the TRC, Murder by Decree proves that the #genocide of #IndigenousPeople began as a religion-led campaign and continues to be a deliberate governmental policy in Canada. This Counter Report reveals these startling facts: – Over half of Indian residential school children began dying the very first year these church-run facilities were opened – This huge mortality rate continued unabated for over a half century because of deliberate practices of germ warfare according to a prescribed monthly “death quota” – Evidence of these crimes and their intentional nature has been continually destroyed by the RCMP and the #Catholic, #Anglican and #UnitedChurch since at least 1960 – The same genocide continues today, is aimed at indigenous women and children, and is driven by foreign corporate interests hungry for #NativeLands and resources Murder by Decree is issued by The International Tribunal for the Disappeared of Canada (ITDC), an international #coalition of #jurists and #HumanRights groups. The ITDC was formed in December, 2015 to investigate the disappearance of people in Canada, prosecute those responsible and prevent a further #whitewash by Canada of its #CrimesAgainstHumanity. This report is an answer to these #crimes and an urgent summons to the world and to all #Canadians to live no longer under #genocidal #regimes.
