    The other half of the Pipil were the Queretaro Purepecha who had lived in Mexico for 8000 years before being forced out by the pre-Toltec Kiche and Otomi.

    Half of the Pipil, the Cuscatlan, have been in El Salvador for as long as the Lenca - about 10,500 years. The Cuscatlan did not come from Mexico and had to learn Nawat.

    Novato and Cotati are Miwok names but Petaluma is not. It is a Purepecha name given in ~7800 BCE after the great tsunami when they sailed up to help out.

    You probably didn’t hear of Islam Burnat. He was a 16 year old boy from the West Bank village of Bil’in. He was shot and killed by the Israeli army. Rest in power Islam.

    This is our farm in northern before and after an Israeli warplane hit it. Here I quarantined to escape the virus, but it’s not the best place to take shelter from bombings. The current raids are a reminiscent of the 2008 war when an airstrike killed my father in this farm.

    Thinking today of Steve Biko, killed in 1997 by the Apartheid regime. I didn't learn who he was until a bit later when I was in undergrad. One of the great people of the 20th Century.

    The idea that the US took Lakota land through war is nonsense. The whole reason for the Fort Laramie Treaty was Red Cloud’s War. The Lakota Nation was beating the US army on a regular basis (Little Big Horn is only 1 example). They lied & broke their own treaty to steal our land.

    Approx. 0.16% of the Palestinian population in the West Bank & Gaza (who live under Israeli sovereignty & military occupation) have received both doses of the vaccine. Meanwhile over 50% of Israel's population has received both doses. This is what medical apartheid looks like.
