Contra Tenore @cntrtnr.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Also, just like Minnesota, Boston didn't fuck around when it came to the 1850s version of ICE (slave catchers from the South). And just like then, the Preisdent threatened to send in federal troops. 000
Contra Tenore @cntrtnr.bsky.social · 28/01/2026I'm sure I'm not the first to note the depressing similarities between ICE kidnapping people of colour and taking them to Texas with no due process in 2026 and the enforcement of the fugitive slave law in the 1850s. (From Battle Cry of Freedom) 110

![Many non-Lakota living near the reservations interpreted the battle as the defeat of a murderous cult; others confused Ghost Dancers with Native Americans in general. In an editorial response to the event, the young newspaper editor L. Frank Baum, later the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, wrote in The Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer on January 3, 1891:
The Pioneer has before declared that our only safety depends upon the total extermination of the Indians. Having wronged them for centuries, we had better, in order to protect our civilization, follow it up by one more wrong and wipe these untamed and untamable creatures from the face of the earth. In this lies future safety for our settlers and the soldiers who are under incompetent commands. Otherwise, we may expect future years to be as full of trouble with the redskins as those have been in the past.[48]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a7bqrymdz3tfy225zfsshvv3/bafkreibqqars2jfndtpufs5arnl7w7yrqznbh2sklk3tyeqatvibrjz6ki)
