Real Emergency Puppy

This quote came from FDR, and I want to call out that his speech ignored descendants of indigenous folk and slaves.

Then again, indigenous folk may have ancestors who came from somewhere else VERY long ago, and slaves sometimes revolt.

fair, but in this context FDR was addressing the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Yeah, who were not exactly known for their openness and inclusivity.

Love when my cute puppy accounts get fired up abt justice but we need 2 do our best not to do more harm in trying to help :)

Yes! Call your representatives today. I do it every morning. They're probably sick of me by now but I wont stop.

Awesome, I do too! But my point was that your tweet ignores experiences of Indigenous ppl and enslaved Africans

you're right, I struggle with phrasing that, any tips?

is all about settler colonialism and I don't know that there's a way to reference it positively.

oh, definitely, there is no positivity there.

Yeah, and the immigrants/revolutionaries stuff invokes that, taken together. The revolutionaries weren't immigrants, they

were colonizers. So I guess I try to keep "yay immigrants" references to more recent history? Not sure if that's right, but

yeah I dont give a shit what you think.

all civizations are, numbnuts.

what about the Sumerians
