@bobdylan I saw it. Couldn't sleep. Dk why. I kept doing math on the years, tossing, turning, mostly sleep, mostly awake, I dk..made up words to explain things, I realized any one who lived before me is a time traveller, should request for more transference of knowledge than I already do.
There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!). Timothee Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me. The film’s taken from Elijah Wald’s Dylan Goes Electric – a book that came out in 2015. It’s a fantastic retelling of events from the early ‘60s that led up to the fiasco at Newport. After you’ve seen the movie read the book.
@nbcsnl@Hozier@nbc@peacock Sound is off tonight, especially for the singing parts, background is as loud or louder 🤷♀️ for Hozier and the rest of it...
@carrchristmas Where are these comments? Are they public? If they understand how blood quantum works they have to be against it. It isn't about how native we are it's about a colonial system trying to reduce and control us.
Watching first episode of Everybody's in LA. In his monologue he erased indig people twice so far. The first person in LA was Spanish and some non-indig guy invented surfing according to him... @mulaney@netfli
Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation councillor Mike Mercredi tells Alberta Energy Regulator CEO Laurie Pusher re: tailings spills from oil sands, “You allow eight regulated cancer causing agents into the water. You’re allowing regulated murder…it’s slow industrial genocide. How many bodies? How many billions are you gonna be making before we’re all dead?”
@HolyGourd @CityNewsTO Holy F. You're all ignorant. Based purely on this, I am sure u will end up in your probably 'Christian' hell. One family member leaves to get help, to be able to send money back until they can afford to bring them over. The ignorance here is a shame on your family and country.
I am not a criminal. But today I was charged with a criminal offence while doing my job as a journalist documenting the actions of police raiding vulnerable, unhoused, unarmed Indigenous Peoples in their own territories to displace them out of their tent homes & throw their belongings in a dump. I’m pissed that I was impeded from reporting on the incident. I’m pissed about the continual trauma faced by our people; the forcible removal of our people from Native lands & the phony charade of reconciliation. The violence that occurred today is not the answer. I can’t stop thinking about the people whose belongings were ravaged and thrown in dumps today. About the city injunction to sweep these people to the curb as if that will solve the problem. The city does not have a solution, the province doesn’t either.
When the officer told the elder today they were going to be ‘forcibly removed’ I thought, ‘same old.’ The land acknowledgments are a joke. Edmonton isn’t the only place this is happening, it’s the aftermath of the greatest injustice that’s ever occurred across Turtle Island. The aftermath of genocide, yet the violence willfully continues.
We draw the attention of the international community to CBC News and social media on Day 1 of the trial of Indigenous land defenders facing criminal charges for defending Wet'suwet'en territory in Canada from the construction of a pipeline https://t.co/yA5zqN2Aix #DefendTheYintah
Had idea that Jon Stewart should be president of the United States. Searched, found so do others. Splitting the vote is a problem, in Canada especially. But maybe? https://t.co/Rw8WMv2wIK @jonstewart
BRITTANY WATTS is still locked up in Ohio after a miscarriage.
It's the holidays, and while some folks have stepped back from politics and social media for family time and other wonderful things, this is a reminder that cruelty and punishment continue.
I need to say her name.
