Who gets memorialized, and who gets erased? Today, they ask us to mourn only those who served the empire. What of those the empire destroyed? Enslaved and colonized people who died resisting. Indigenous lives lost in g-en-cidal campaigns. Migrants who died at militarized borders. Prisoners who died in cages. Communities poisoned by extractive wars and chemical warfare. Memorial Day is not neutral. It is a story written by the state to sanctify its own violence. Not all who die for land were sent to war.
