Reading Empire of the Summer Moon really drove this home — the Comanche started out in Canada, and ended up controlling much of the plains and Texas through total conquest. And they do "land acknowledgments" to the Comanche at SXSW! https://t.co/iGJKGNE6lg

It's a great Indigenous People's Day for the Jewish people, who had a kingdom in Israel more than 2,300 years before Columbus, & were ejected from that land by a Western colonial empire.

It is an interesting coincidence.
Stayed up all night to watch the hostage releases and then all the speeches. It was a good bookend to Oct 7 and because Gaza gave up the hostages, I am hopeful the rest of the deal is implemented.
I’ve never seen an American receive as much praise as Trump did in Israel. It is going to make lefties melt. In a different time, it would have caused some reflection or admiration but the left is dominated by Jew hatred now, so Israelis praising Trump will just be one more reason to hate both.
May Trump have similar success in dealing with other issues.
