The Occupation of Alcatraz was a 19-month long protest which began on this day in 1969, when 89 Native Americans and their supporters occupied and reclaimed Alcatraz Island as indigenous land.
The protest was led by Richard Oakes and Grace Thorpe. The group chose the name Indians of All Tribes (IOAT) for themselves and lived on the island together until the protest was forcibly ended by the U.S. government.
IOAT claimed that, under the Treaty of Fort Laramie between the U.S. and the Lakota tribe, all retired, abandoned, or out-of-use federal land was returned to the Indians who once occupied it.
By late May of 1971, the government had cut off all electrical power and all telephone service to the island. Left without power, fresh water, and in the face of diminishing public support and sympathy, the number of occupiers began to dwindle. On June 11th, 1971, a large force of federal officers removed the remaining 15 people from the island.

People expected Lute to go full fascist so they can make mussolini Tiktok edits about how purging hell is based out of her but instead she’s so misogynistic she submits to a men calling her misogynistic insults lol.
i feel like playing something but i genuinely don’t know anymore. i am a little tired since relatives showed up yesterday.
also thank you all for the big support on my latest post. i am still proud of that art thingy. i also made this on the first of dis month
for future art posts, should i post them in chapotraphouse/chat or continue to post them on the art community, since less people look at c/art?
my posts are quality of utmost importance, no matter what purpose they have. that’s just how i roll.
this is the best community i’ve ever been a part of, thank you all for actually letting me be myself (personal experience with any other community made me believe i shouldn’t). foss sweep.
Galactic Nova is an asshole and not actually good at granting wishes.
Figuring out how to many times I wanna play 2 notes so I can record drums for a minimalistic black metal project i think is funny but nerds would take srs
Gonna start air frying chickpeas to eat like popcorn when I watch a movie
Western right-wing japanophiles are literally the same as the anti-deutsche movement in germany.
I started to do small amounts of DHEA, a hormone precursor that you can get at the grocery store, and it’s making me feel crazy good, like I feel like a normal man person again. At times it can feel really overwhelming. I feel impulsive, my ‘libido’ is high but in weird way, my depressive and anxiety is replaced with this over confidence haze. I’m going to have to go get blood work now that I know there is probably a problem with me. I thought yall could understand since yall have more experience with hormones.
Played bass for the firsr time in a while without it being to record something and I forgot, I am an absolute riff merchant. I popped out like an hour of improvised Rites of Spring with a bit of mandatory Joy Division and then took the good riffs and made some songs. Ripping off tje progression from the intro to Adelleda by Alexisonfire but doing it punk mid tempo sounds great
So is there a guy that rotate all the sundials slightly for daylight savings?
got all of the security features working without breaking my Foundry plug-in. Now I just gotta dial in the input validation so that it stops deleting all of the html tags that Foundry uses, and then…Shit, I think I’ll only have two more things to implement before the first public release. Although I’ve saved the hardest for last…
Got a 22TB Seagate HDD from a black friday sale. Wish I could have afforded a Western Digital one, but maybe I’ll get lucky in this one lasting. Finally will be able to start double and triple backuping stuff. Got my mom to stop paying for Disney+. I’ll use it for the Plex server for downloading Disney stuff that she wants too.
My boss has assigned his wife to work dish on Saturdays. She’s acrually pretty cool but it means we have to remember not to shit talk him. Anyway, despite having gotten a few talking to’s over the years about making it too obvious when im pissed off, the opposite side of my being very open and abd blunt is i get assigned to train people so I was assigned to teach her how to do the job. Which was awkwardish
