This Indigenous Peoples Day please speak up: another typhoon sweeping away homes of Alaska's Natives, who, during settlement (statehood: 1948) were forced to end ways of life (like my Grandma's) involving mobility across regions & stuck them in flood-prone/unstable villages with housing deficits.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

Photos coming out of Western AK are devastating.

Hardest hit are indigenous villages off road system, many miles by air from supplies. Most built on river deltas w/ no high ground to which to escape.

Cuts to NASA/NOAA mean worse weather data. Cuts to EPA mean no grants for erosion control. Etc.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

When I was in 11th grade I took AP history with a man who looked like Santa but who quietly assigned us firsthand accounts of historical atrocities, ostensibly to teach us about primary sources. Anyway the worst thing I read by a long shot was an account of Columbus meeting the Taíno.

Everything that we've known, and come to count on,
has fled the world.

Charles Wright, from Sestets 🍂
Our Days Are Political, but Birds Are Something Else

Tenth month of the year.
Fallen leaves taste bitter. And grass.
Everything that we've known, and come to count on,
has fled the world.
Their bones crack in the west wind.
Where are the deeds we're taught to cling to?
How I regret having missed them,
and their mirrored pieces of heaven.
Like egrets, they rise in the clear sky,
their shadows like distance on the firred hills.
