Congratulations to our newest cabinet secretary for somehow finding a way to escape the life trajectory to which all previous humans named "Markwayne" have been limited (dying while trying to set a speed record in a boat painted to look like a pack of Marlboros)

The start of a new month already!? @waub.bsky.social wrote that the Anishinaabe name for this month is Onaabenii-giizis, meaning moon of the crusted snow, which matches the snow conditions here in Ottawa right now, and is also the title of his apocalyptic novel ecwpress.com/products/moo... .

With winter looming, a small northern Anishinaabe community goes dark. Cut off, people become passive and confused. Panic builds as the food supply dwindles. While the band council and a pocket of com...

Remember how the government bailed out the billionaires in 2009? How many of those people are in the Epstein files? They’ve been ripping you off for decades.

The reason they’re going to stuff you all into concentration warehouses instead of camps this time is because you have drones now and might take pictures.

So worried about books when kids today have devices and phones that can access all kinds of truly inappropriate material. Books are not the problem people.

I got told yesterday that I don’t look like an Indian. I said that my father was white. Was told I was white not Indian bc I don’t look like one. I spent every summer of my life on the rez where I am Indian.

In light of Jean Chrétien's most recent denialist comments - story to come, basically he downplays the harm of the IRS system - I went down the rabbit hole researching how far Indigenous leaders lobbied him, as Minister of Indian Affairs in the 1960s and 1970s, to close the system 🧵

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX. we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home. delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

For places trying to reckon with the new US there are two countries to listen to. Canada, because we see what's happening there with the most clarity. And Finland, because they know what to do about it.

The American Indian Movement started in Minneapolis in 1968 in response to police violence against Native Americans. Today, AIM is patrolling Minneapolis streets again–to try and keep the Native community safe from ICE.

I keep reading about how "Canada knew" about the American breakdown before everybody else. I just want to say I had a book out called "The Next Civil War" and absolutely everybody I spoke to about it began every conversation with "Aren't you being alarmist?" Nobody wanted to see it. So nobody did.

During colonization, churches snatched up a lot of sacred objects. In Utah, one of those objects was a 2,500 Ib rock covered in petroglyphs. The rock has been returned to its original resting place on the homelands of the Shoshone.

A major sign of things getting dire in DC is when House members start breaking kayfabe like this. It's really, REALLY not fun to be a minority caucus member under a lame duck president. A cushy board seat or academic chairmanship sounds a LOT better and the race for the exits is obvious.

There are lots of great reasons not to celebrate Christopher Columbus. Many moons ago in @thenation.com I wrote about one of the big ones: that the founding legend around Columbus was fabricated out of whole cloth in the 1790s to suit the needs of American politics of the moment.
