ποΈ Birth of a Nation: How the U.S. Was Won
Hi yβall! ππ½ We continue on our Road Trippin' for Change to reflect on the ties between the United States' founding and Trump's America. In Arizona, we discuss indigenous voting and the long history of white supremacist violence in elections. I share more about my experience canvassing for the 2024 election in Arizona. We end with some joy on a dirt road and another Radical Reads recommendation. Watch today's episode on PeerTube.
*Content Note: In the episode, I refer to the Bosnian genocide, however, I meant the Armenian genocide, which took place during World War I. I also speak to colonizers as "deeply impoverished" I was referring to European settlers who came on the heels of the colonizers who were financed by monarchs or wealthy elites.
