Officers tried to justify the massacre by asserting a false narrative that described Indigenous people as dangerous and less than human.

We’re pretty much back there now.

4. Yup... At least Colorado has denounced this horrific part of their history...

MAGA celebrates its atrocities and those of others.

2. The monument says, "Battle Ground,"

It wasn't. It was a massacre.

I'll always remember the ending of, "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee," where a few survivors were taken to a local church. They lay on the floor under a banner that proclaimed, "Peace On Earth. Goodwill Toward Men."

Thanks for posting, mahatmakanejeeves.

6. Continues today. Notice how the people in the "drug boats" were trying to "get back

in the fight”. This is a common talking point in the media via RW BS.

What fight?
Sure there a lot of “accountability” 😉in the drug trade but they aren’t in a fight. They are doing a job.

3. I think that monument has been replaced. The site is officially known as the Sand Creek Massacre National

Historic Site.
