This isn't some anomalous occurrence due to the happenstance of a protest. They are like this 24/7/365, lying, cheating, brutalizing, doing everything they can to stay in power, and that's why they must be dismantled.
There is a better future ahead. If their rule was just, they wouldn't have to expend so much effort to maintain it.

After so many books about the subjugation and weakness of his ancestors (even from the most seemingly progressive sources), my partner was extremely excited to find this and we've been really enjoying discussing it.

This is a side of our history I've never read, and I'd guess most of you are in the same boat.

Part 05/50: Cahokia, a massive Native city, was built in 700-800CE in what is now southern Illinois. The Cahokians were mound builders, erecting a 5sq mile city.
