my latest is on reaction to today's SCOTUS ruling on ICWA, with comment from the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women, the Law and Indigenous Peoples Program at UNM, and the architect of ICWA himself, Bertram Hirsch: https://t.co/o2D9NGAG3Q
Many Indigenous advocates have been in fear for years waiting for ICWA to be challenged at the federal level. So many worked tirelessly to ensure our children remain protected. The tears are flowing freely this morning. I stand with my sisters and others who fought relentlessly.
ICWA stands 😭🙏🏽 Crying happy tears for all the little Native babies ensured to receive all the Indigenous love, traditional knowledge, and auntie laughs

In otter news, when multiple sea otters float together, it's known as a raft. Some even hold hands while snoozing, unless one otter takes the last clam, prompting the other to "decide" their paw was cramping and let go to send a message. Research is pending.

If he:
-Changes his entire look for you
-Travels 1,900 miles upstream to chase you
-Procreates and dies
-Replenishes an entire ecosystem with his carcass
He's not your valentine, he's a Chinook salmon
