Thank you for this historical context. I'm especially appalled by handwringing from people who seem to naively think all of this started with Trump. This country was built on genocide and slavery. People say "never forget" but America's whole legacy is basically selective amnesia, delusion and apology. It's a cycle of abuse on a societal level.

Wado for this post!

Cherokees know too well that a president who ignores the Supreme Court is familiar territory. I told the same story here. We identify with Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
