Got back on the bird app a couple months ago for bball- crazy to see so many right wing accounts turn on Trump and denounce his truth post against Massie last night.

After Tuesday- it’s hard for me to believe Trump won in 2024- he had every reason to cheat- if he didn’t cheat he would have went to prison so what did he have to lose?

For the first time, Catholic sisters return land to a Tribal nation
"This return represents more than the restoration of land — it is the restoration of balance, dignity, and our sacred connection to the places our ancestors once walked."

With all I’ve been through I acquired an odd set of skills lol. How to advocate, public relations and social media stuff, how to address council, legal stuff about intellectual property and tribal cultural tangible and intangible property laws, fundraising, etc. Didn’t ask for any of that lol.

What’s the democratic strategy? When they have the house, senate, and presidency- they resort to respectability politics and middle of the road appeasement policy. The right continues to pull everyone further and further right. D’s have popular policy but no follow through.

Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is going to court with the Lakota Language Consortium- idk what’s going on, I was just told that there’s a preliminary hearing- I think it shows though, that it’s not just a single person issue- the tribe is now fighting.

One thing we as Lakotas need to not do is turn away from organized religion- turning our ceremonies into organized religion- no 501c3s, no heirarchy etc. Organized religion has clouded so many peoples minds.

I had to delete a lot of friends, they relegated Kirk’s words to political differences and if you see his racism, misogyny, anti-lbtq, and anti-trans beliefs as mere political differences then I don’t need to be friends with you. Even some friends I had for decades.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

DOGE claims to have found billions of dollars in fraud yet not one criminal charge has been filed against anyone, just mass firings of federal employees. Which means they’ve been wasting millions of dollars finding absolutely nothing on purpose. The fraud is DOGE.

My hope is that when career professionals at Defense, NSA, CIA, State, and other agencies absorb the sheer hypocrisy of their bosses getting away with sharing classified information with zero punishment, they will anonymously leak every sordid story, rumor and detail about their bosses to the press.

What if Trump just ignores the courts? The Supreme Court already said the president can do whatever they want as long as it’s within their official duties but what is that? A president can basically say everything is.

The LLC and their supporters tried to say I was the one who made the language controversial- I didn’t. It was those who stuck up for them- there will always be people taking from us, it’s controversial to stand up FOR them- not those who stand up TO them.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This is another great article that was published right after the Lakota Language Consortium was banned from tribal lands. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
nbcnews.com
Lakota elders helped a white man preserve their language. Then he tried to sell it back to them.
“No matter how it was collected, where it was collected, when it was collected, our language belongs to us," said Ray Taken Alive, a Lakota teacher.
