I am extremely disturbed by the news that the University of Minnesota will be complying with ICE immigration orders. Schools should be a protected space for students, and this is another unacceptable byproduct of the Trump Administration.

The tribal enrollment office has already seen an uptick in appointments.

watching all of them squirm in their seats is very satisfying. this was extremely badass and immaculately delivered

When I started talking about Oligarchy, many people didn't understand what I meant.

Well, that's changed.

When the 3 wealthiest men in America sit behind Trump at his inauguration, everyone understands that the billionaire class now controls our government.

We must fight back.

There’s a good docuseries on Hulu that centers Native women including Joy Harjo in remembering and fighting for justice for Annie Mae Aquash

I’d encourage everyone to watch it, especially those unfamiliar with AIM and some of the questions ppl still have about her murder.

no matter what happens, may this election be the death nail in the self-congratulatory “gen z will change the world” shit. gen z white men vote like every other generation of white men, and in some cases are further to the right

This precious usti went viral on TikTok for speaking to her baby brother in Cherokee in Walmart. (What’s extra cute is that she is being one bossy big sister.) She is learning Cherokee at a program called Little Cherokee seeds that immerses babies in our language.

No DNA evidence. Jury members, even the prosecutor circled back saying the verdict was a mistake. Nobody involved wanted this man to die. We have a soulless justice system in this country. This is why the term “black lives matter,” as simple as it sounds, is so audacious.
