there's a post going round commemorating the Pulse massacre that called it "the largest massacre in american history"
and while we don't want to detract from the monstrosity of what was done at Pulse (which is why we're not adding this to that post), that's an appalling erasure of the slaughters of native americans - in the Wounded Knee massacre alone, 250-300 native americans were slaughtered by the US army in just one day in 1890, and there were so many thousands more across north and central and south america
please don't casually erase this aspect of american history when decrying the tragedy of the Pulse massacre
