Birth of a Nation: How the U.S. Was Won

We continue on our Road Trippin' for Change to reflect on the connection of the United States' founding and Trump's America. In Arizona, we camp on indigenous campgrounds to ground ourselves in the long history of white supremacist violence in elections. I share more about my experience canvassing for the 2024 election in Arizona. Watch today's episode on PeerTube for the majestic corgi in the wild.

*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.
