2026-01-27T02:13:12Z

So everyone knows that California has stringent gun control laws. How did they come about? In 1967 Reagan signed a law, fully backed by the NRA to make it illegal to open carry. Why? Because the Black Panthers were patrolling their neighborhoods, armed to the teeth, to ward off abusive cops.

Starlight tours of men left to freeze to death on plains? Yes. Camps for suspicious and foreign looking citizens? Yes. Mass deportation raids? Yes. Deputizing paramilitary groups to hunt down various nationalities and or ethnic groups? Yes. Sterilize women? Yes.

The other day I was at a luncheon in gunbarrel and was asked about my heritage and for a variety of reasons (mostly exhaustion of having to explain myself to white folks who seemingly have no access to google) I said “Iroquois” even though we name ourselves Haudenosaunee.

Iroquois is a bit of a slur- the name given to us by our enemies - snake people.
