Native porn always involves ranch.

So a couple days ago, one of my coworkers accidentally let 22 quarts of ranch dressing slip out of her hand...

Native Americans make up 6.7 percent of #Montana’s population, but 26 percent of Montana's missing persons reports.

This week's profile is 34-year-old Freda Knows Gun, who has been missing since October 18, 2016. #MMIW https://t.co/nrfjXgcoId

Montana roads in the dead of winter aren’t for the weak of heart! Got welcomed back into. The 406 w black ice & snowy roads. Lol good to be home 😂

Columbia Falls Fan and NFR BULL RIDER, Beau Hill carry this awful sign vs Browning Indians. He had a lot of Native fans, me included, but I’m not now. I’ll be cheering for the Bulls when he rides! #NativeTwitter

Cringiest moment in #Oscars HAS to go to Ashley Graham getting SHUTTDOWN by Lisa Bonet when she asked Jason to do a tribal yell. Yikes. 😬😬😬

[Billings Gazette @billingsgazette]

We are committed to continuing to report on the issue in a meaningful, contextual way that doesn't treat these disappearances as isolated, separate stories, but rather as part of a larger, more complex trend.

Why do people list off identities when they're caught being wrong?

"Well as a woman, a queer person, a dreamer, and a mother."

Notice how none of those are "sorry for saying something racist"?

This continent used to have a whole bunch of prisonless societies. Flawless? Of course not. Functioning? Thriving even.

It requires fundamental differences in cultural norms though.

[Montana Women Vote @MTWomenVote]

A report last week said that the proposed restrictions and increased premiums could result in 43,000 Montanans losing their health coverage. That’s more than the population of Butte! #LiftTheSunset #MedicaidMatters #KeepMTHealthy #1in10

This is great news! So many Indigenous organizers are making sure our lawmakers have been listening. #mtleg

Ana Suda and Mimi Hernandez were detained in Havre, Montana for speaking Spanish.

This is blatantly unconstitutional.

We sued. https://t.co/TC5dm1AHzx

We stand in solidarity with the 2019 Montana American Indian Caucus who delivered a powerful letter today denouncing Rep. Greg DeVries intolerable comments on the house floor.

We are happy to be a co-sponsor of LGBTQ+ Lobby Day in Montana. Join us Thursday for a full day of advocacy and community building to ensure that all Montanans can live, work, and play in Montana free from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

[Montana House Democrats @MTHouseDems]

Today, members of the Indian Caucus delivered a powerful letter rebuking Rep. Greg DeVries’ unacceptable rhetoric on the House floor.

“For Native Americans, genocide is our lived experience.” #mtleg #mtpol
