If their idea of liberation includes the complete erasure of everything my people are, why would i sign up for that?

A dream that requires my people's cultural genocide is not a sales pitch, it's a nightmare.

Today is the 59th anniversary of the creation if the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense.

Founded by Huey P Newton (RIP) and Bobby Seale, the Black Panther was actually a symbol from the 761st Tank battalion and the Bloody Lowndes Democratic formation.

Bobby Seale turns 88 one week from today

I've never thought of this but it makes sense especially when you see how uncomfortable people get around their own age gaps being discussed.

If child sexual abuse is something you care about, surely you must be financially supporting MMIP programs?

1 in 3 Native women and 1 in 5 Native men will be sexually assaulted before the age of 18 by a nonNative.

Unless it's only Trump you care about and not protecting children

I think Friday's dwelling on memories of my little girl and these dreams the last few nights are just my response to having recently been back home and even after over a year i felt her loss everywhere i looked.

Two nights in a row I've had a dream of a lady in a dark cloak and her back to me trying to use bad Medicine on me while Niece D stands facing me and we talk, ignoring the Bad Medicine lady.

I think it's time to get wild roses, maybe head home see Niece S

It's difficult to know when to judge and when to accept, but you hit the nail on it's head, i don't have to judge to just not fuck with them cause i can't agree.

Boundaries are good to embrace even though it's only my behavior they change

I remember how hard i laughed when i found out I'm like his 3rd block on any new social media platform we are both on.

Like idk him and he dk me, and we've never interacted in my memory, and yet he feels the need to search me out and block me.

I think that's a good point. Seeing a kid trying to reframe what they've learned is difficult especially since they often dig in on "this is the way," if they've been told "this is the way"
