#Japan has to take international law seriously and prevent radioactive waste from entering the ocean. As signatory to UN convention on the Law of the Sea, or UNCLOS, this is not an option but a duty.

Don't be fooled by celebs and billionaires dispensing charity to survivors of #LahainaFires. From Bezos to Oprah, every one of them is also a colonialist in in Hawaii. They are all guilty of land-grabbing, beach-grabbing, labor exploitation, water theft, tax evasion...

@gadfly @tweetwithashlee @Phil_Lewis_ My lawyer👂🏽hears a lawsuit? What entity provides oversight of AP curriculum? Can individuals bring suit to enforce these laws or do we need to push some govt entity to do it? We need a REAL solution to this issue QUICK!

@FrancesMFDanger I appreciate the love. I'll give it a try this weekend. I want to relish in this feminist time but I also don't want to forget ya know? So thank you and I'll give it go!

[icequeenspits @icequeenspits]

Serious question - but can I? I'm surrounded by white feminist ideology on a daily basis. Should I as a Native woman subject myself to what appears to be a fun time only to leave heartbroken and angry? And if so, why? Why should I ACT like I like this film when it harms my ppl?

[Frances *Deadly SoverAuntie* Danger @FrancesMFDanger]

You can still enjoy the Barbie movie while acknowledging its inherent focus on white feminism and Anti Indigenous issues.

[icequeenspits @icequeenspits]

Being a Native practicing federal Indian Law in your colonizers' courts is rough. Its been a trying day in court trying to get Californian judges to recognize our inherent sovereignty. We should really engage intl systems to pressure the US becuz it's ridiculously disrespectful.

[icequeenspits @icequeenspits]

@FrancesMFDanger Okay family. I see you. I 100% support that. I hope they can see the racism. So far my friends have not. They just think it's so cute & fun. But I've been hesitant to watch it and I seem like the odd one out.

[icequeenspits @icequeenspits]

As a fluid Black-Native woman its VERY troubling that FL, the land of my ancestors, has passed such regulations. Sex & gender are critical to understand the psychology of Americans it seems like they're blantly saying we only care about the mental health of White heterosexual males.

E-filing sounds good until you realize it just gives you more time to be a perfectionist, aka pulling an all-nighter. 🥲 Now to prepare for the contested hearing.

@NDNlawyer A much appreciated reminder for me as a Native person working in Indian child welfare. We can't assist others if we're struggling. Taking care of ourselves has to be a priority.

[icequeenspits @icequeenspits]

@TopGundy @herosnvrdie69 Because we love ourselves. 💁🏽‍♀️ More men should join in with us. We want yall to love yourselves so none of us will be mistreated.

[Shane Hawk @shanehawkk]

It definitely elicited a deep groan within a pretty fun movie…

I couldn’t believe it when I heard it. Went something like: “the patriarchy is to women like smallpox was to Indigenous peoples; they had no defense against it.” 😵‍💫

[Dr. Jessica Hernandez @doctora_nature]

I was excited to see the #BarbieMovie  but was kinda taken aback on the small pox & genocide reference. The theater goers didn’t laugh but this line was unnecessary and not needed for the plot. Reminder: there was no Indigenous or Native representation at the movie so no excuses.

@playPalia I've made my account but haven't gotten a separate invite to Closed Beta yet...should I be looking out for another email? Don't want to miss out. Super hyped for this!

[icequeenspits @icequeenspits]

@playPalia I want to live in a garden so it's all good. 🌻🌼 The patience it takes to build a sustainable garden is such an appealing characteristic. They can deal with all my nonsense lol

At an Asian food festival today and overheard 2 Asian women ask about June teeth, what's it about? Do folks have it off? As they started discussing the history of slavery their White husbands jumped in and made light of the holiday said "Who cares its a day off" & laughed 😑
