Non-Natives portraying Indigenous* characters in media since I had trouble finding a record of it, a thread🧵:

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

Ok let’s do this! Every Pocahontas played by a Western / non-Native American / White actress. Let’s go! Thread time!

1) Pocahontas: The Legend (1995), played by British actress of French and Chinese heritage, Sandrine Holt

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

After bombing a school and massacring young girls, the war criminal in the White House is threatening genocide.

It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment. This maniac should be removed from office.

[Tom Morello @tmorello]

What the f*ck is wrong with these people. Wounded Knee was a bloodthirsty massacre of Lakota Sioux, including dozens of women and children

[Emmy Scott @EmmyNawjoopinga]

Alligator Alcatraz is built on land that Natives use for ceremonies. Sacred sites are around it on 3 sides. https://t.co/loFhKOWkQo

[🌸🌺🌼 @Frostbite___]

What’s missing from a lot of the discourse I’m seeing is that Jonathan is Native American. He’s Comanche & Apache. His husband is Latino (unsure if he is also Amerindian).

This is not just a homophobic attack but a racist one as well, against an indigenous man.

absolutely tragic RIP to a legend with one of the best sitcom lines of all time

[Martin Holmes @RedmondSurvivor]

All these reality game shows casting former reality stars nowadays and I'm still waiting on these two icons to return to TV

[Ari Drennen @AriDrennen]

BREAKING: The Trump administration just issued an executive order that redefines 18-year-olds as children in order to block their access to transition care by threatening to completely defund hospitals that provide it.

[Emmy Scott @EmmyNawjoopinga]

Trump calls into question U.S. citizenship for Native people. Justice attorneys argue because Indians “owe immediate allegiance to their tribes, they are not ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the U.S. and are not constitutionally entitled to Citizenship.”

merry christmas eve to my favorite tweet of all time

[Connor Beard @connorbeardox]

Hard to put into words just how disheartening it is seeing a fellow Native like Peltola vote against Lumbee federal recognition.

What Indigenous leaders do matters, and this vote only validates false claims that the Lumbees aren’t “real” Natives. Incredibly disappointing.

[EggOnTo🍞st☀️🍒🌲 @BurntToast50]

I’d love to know Peltola’s reasoning behind voting no

[jon @prasejeebus]

Sarah Jessica Parker in Season 4 of Glee

[Haydn, 🇵🇸 @bilbosfootcomb]

Vile thing about western “democracy” that indigenous people are expected to sit quietly in the name of decorum as their rights are stripped away.

All power to Te Pāti Māori. Mana Motuhake.

[Emmy Scott @EmmyNawjoopinga]

While many are talking about losing hope or moving to other countries, Native people have survived under U.S. government leaders that wanted us dead since the very beginning. This is still Native land, and will always be Native land. We never had the luxury to stop fighting.

to my trans friends — i love you all very dearly

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

Democratic candidate Colin Allred becomes the first Democratic candidate to capitulate to anti-trans ads and jump into targeting trans people as a result of anti-trans advertisements.

Very shortsighted and a stinging betrayal for his potential future LGBTQ constituents.
