"They want the country to collapse. A depopulated, partitioned US is easier to exploit and control. To them, the state is just something to sell. They do not care if the buyers are foreign or domestic."

The people who lied to you that Garland (and Mueller and Comey and the rest) would get Trump are professional propagandists put in place to protect not only Trump, but corrupt institutions like the DOJ.
They are going to give you more bad and dangerous advice. Do not follow it.
Authoritarianism offers you two choices. Slide on the armband and hurt others or barricade the door and hope you don’t get hurt.
This is a false dichotomy and defeating authoritarianism depends on picking yourself up, recognizing it is a lie, and standing on your principles.
Authoritarianism is systematic abuse aimed at destroying any hope for the future.
Seeing no possibilities for change, no positive outcomes, nothing to fight for, is exactly what it is intended to do. You are not alone. You are not powerless.

Indigenous Peoples Day is about truth-telling and correcting historical misinformation, helping us reckon with the past and shape a just, equitable future.
@LearnForJustice produced a short film for students in grades 6 and up that introduces the history of Indigenous enslavement and those working to recover that history. 🎥:

Colonization of Appalachia started long before the coal companies, long before industrial timber companies, long before absentee landowners profited over & above tenant settlers.
To remember Appalachian history means remembering our WHOLE history.
Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay.
