More than a century after the massacre at Čaŋkpé Opí (Wounded Knee), the U.S. still honors the soldiers who carried it out. In a new piece, guest writer Amelia Mavis-Christnot examines Trump’s decision to preserve those medals—and the deeper history of erasure it reflects.

I’m down for this.

End the shutdown, GOP. Extend the ACA subsidies. Stop shoving more money at the billionaires.

Too bad they furloughed or fired all the workers who could remove it.
