The #NotInvisibleAct Commission's final report...was the product of a joint effort between the Justice Department and the Interior Department to combat the disproportionate rates of violent crime, human trafficking and cases of Indigenous people going missing or being murdered.

[Indigenous Environmental Network @IENearth]

The Justice Department has removed a report from its website that lays out recommendations for tackling the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women.

We have to believe every little bit of love will grow into more love.

And act on it!

In the face of increasing "moral sadism" (#JudithButler), sow love!

When people say they want their nation to be Christian again, they're usually talking about the elimination of any new threats to their supremacy, privilege, and advantage.

Not the sermon on the mount kind of Christianity.

Borders are colonial violence. Criminalizing migration upholds white supremacy.

From the forced displacement of our ancestors to the present-day policing of Black, Brown, and Indigenous bodies, the same systems—colonialism, white supremacy, and patriarchy—decide who is “legal” and who is disposable.

Meanwhile, corporations cross borders freely to exploit land, water, and people. We must dismantle these systems control, extraction and exploitation and restore regenerative ways of being that support thriving ecosystems and communities.
