      Yo Zach, can you bring up something about how Biden promises to care about Native American issues then proceeds to talk about the border problem while never once mentioning that the US are also being allowing the human trafficking and sex trade of Native American people at a rate that blows every other race out of the water due to complete lack of government intervention by Sleepy Sloppy In-Bed Joe. He won the election based on our Native numbers and that promise, 3%, that margin WAS my people. Dude lost already, minorities know he is a racist rich spoiled nepotism baby. He also has continued the trend of taking and destroying our sacred lands for oil. Dude feels evil when he talks too. Vote RFK Jr. (Or whoever, no pressure from me).
      And that Sir Zach is why us Indigenous of America sided with Palestine from day one, their reason for war is exactly what the US is doing to my people. Trust me the US does not want us active again like the 60s-70s. We flat out beat the FBI in gun fights and took and held a US island in New York for over a year to win our US voting rights. #LeonardPeltier

    The fact that you could show this to just about anyone and have them think that you're on their side no matter which side they're actually on is masterful.
