(1 of 6) This week Washington's Tribes both passed the most important legislation in generations and suffered the most egregious betrayal I have ever witnessed.

Unless @FoxNews wants 574 Tribal Nations to directly confront/expose every single board member, investor, exec accountable for this programming for the rest of their lives, Fox News best fire those two arrogant, degenerate racists & leave Indian Country alone.

@FoxNews hosts Jesse Waters & Rachel Campos-Duffy expressed skepticism about the victimization of Native Americans ... by making stupefyingly racist comments about genocide denial & drunken Native Americans on national TV.
@FoxNews, listen up...

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy asserted on Wednesday night that Native Americans’ struggles have “everything to do with government dependency” and “alcoholism.” https://t.co/H6tHTzlj27
Fox News, Fox News executives, and every board member of their corporate sponsors are going to be publicly held accountable if they continue to air genocide denial and incitement against Native Americans.
Ask Dan Snyder and Rick Santorum.

Thank you for setting the global gold standard for how to honor and respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Congratulations @PresFawnSharp for your re-election as President of the National Congress of American Indians. A tremendous leader for Native Americans across WA and the United States. Look forward to continuing to work with you to protect climate, ICWA, promote #FPIC and more!

The media has asked me to find a photo of @PresFawnSharp / @GovInslee together for stories about his condescending and patronizing comments. I could find only one I think she owns the copyright to.
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.
Feel free to use.
Women in leadership are constantly discredited and minimized—even by those professing to champion their involvement & parity in gov, nonprofits, & business. This is another example of the uphill battle women, ESPECIALLY women of color, face in positions of leadership. (1/2)
Sen @kevinvandewege (D) to @GovInslee re: attack on @PresFawnSharp, Pt. 1: "Governor Inslee, you are right Fawn Sharp is not a real 'Tribal chair.' Make sure your staff addresses the apology letter they are drafting to her actual titles: President of @NCAI1944 and ...
