Fuck Snelling and his goons at CPD. #JusticeForDexterReed

[Anthony Michael Tamez @councilmantamez]

Not me seeing @CPDSupt @chicago city hall leaving shaking it up with his buddies talkin about “Now we gotta go deal with these goons at the @PoliceBoard meeting tonight” Sir the only goon is you talking about our residents like that.

Happy Indigenous People Day. Over four years ago we submitted an ordinance to city Council to abolish Columbus Day. Under MLL, it went nowhere. We will be resubmitting this ordinance to once again, abolish Columbus Day in the city of Chicago. #rentsdue #fuckcolumbus

If you are able to support this family I would deeply appreciate it. They lost a 15 year old son and they are trying to get help with funeral costs. https://t.co/LDky6Xpv4h

The worst part is @Brandon4Chicago was well aware of the All Life Matters mural and still chose to platform a conservative institution

When place-based, intergenerational education becomes key to unlocking youth’s potential for environmental leadership, @Center4Native @AspenInstitute @Chi_Nations @ArviatWellness @unevadareno @asambleapa show us how it’s done. https://t.co/ivBwCobISG #LiberatoryEducation

@RossanaFor33 You’re literally standing with Anti-Blackness today while erasing Indigenous Peoples of Chicago. You’re good friend Heather Miller & Les Begay commissioned an All Life Matters mural & you still uphold them & rapist David Bender. You cause harm in the Native community

[Next City @NextCityOrg]

Chicago’s Native youth are reclaiming a contaminated, city-owned lot as part of a grassroots Indigenous land restoration movement.

We were featured in Next City for the work we’ve done over the past 10 years.

@ILarts @aicpowwow jump thru hoops to uphold convicted rapist Floyd Silas. Both orgs have known since at least Sep 2021 of his crimes but continue to platform him.
These orgs have rapists and woman beaters sing honor songs for MMIW and dead residential school kids.
Do better.

Happy Earth Day

Nick and David seem to do this a lot as confirmed by social media accounts and check-ins at this particular Roseville hotel

[Chi-Nations Youth Council @Chi_Nations]

This hotel is completely full of racist people and she wouldn’t give me her name until I confirmed I was not recording after she made claims of intimidation. She confirmed they were in the wrong but do not seem to be holding Nick and David accountable

[Chi-Nations Youth Council @Chi_Nations]

Angie lied and said that the cops were called because we were “intimidating” and that means they were trying to rile up the cops against us.

[Chi-Nations Youth Council @Chi_Nations]

I asked why the cops were called the the correct answer was I asked for the cops after Nick refused to show me where in the contract it says “no coughing” and asked for them to search our bags to prove no weed.
