"...The white supremacists... at the Malheur Refuge... were occupying federal land. The water protectors at Standing Rock, were being arrested for trespassing on private land. The issue wasn't that white people were being treated differently than Indians. I think to maintain that us, them, Indian White, Cowboys and Indians, discourse is to miss the larger point that the federal government privileges private property above almost everything else. That's the problem."

@stux @andijah People please... donate to your instance admins! They run these services out of the goodness of their hearts and are true heroes!
If everyone on the instance just donated ONE EUR/GBP/USD... a month then it would go a looooong way to keeping the instance secure into the future.

Now...single instance users, you interact with these instances right? So why not donate to them so your contacts using these instances can be kept online for as long as can be!?

(to be clear and a little boastful, yes I do donate to mstdn.social, even though I don't use it directly. I also donate to other larger instances I interact with - I want all these people to talk to!)
