glad to see people discussing tswifts dog whistles but we also need to talk about beyoncé's - esp to Native people the last year.

these billionaires are doing incredibly subtle, harmful things to all our people. Jay Z is even investing in casinos that challenge tribal sovereignty in NY.

It's becoming very clear that Gaza is nothing but a testing ground for the global defense industry. Why else would they send the bombs to flatten the place and then pay for it to be rebuild

The United States is in material breach of over five hundred - yes, 500 - legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations.

And lest you say that's because of Trump, we were in breach of at least 350 under both of the last two Democratic administrations.

So yes, we are an illegal occupation.

Conquering and colonization is the way people acquired land at that time in history. It was uncivilized and involved violence and yet that's how land was acquired.

You fought over it and, if you won, it became yours. I acknowledge that's how America came to be. I also acknowledge colonization was a bad thing for indigenous populations.

But I think you're reaching pretty far to try to claim America is an ongoing illegal occupation in present day.

The bodies of 45 Palestinians have been returned

All bore signs of torture, mutilation execution

Starmer's Israeli handlers didnt even bother removing the blindfolds or bullet from their bodies and even their hands were still tied

FYI - Israel still holds over 500 bodies since the 1950s

"We are not being unreasonable to expect freedom from infection with a pathogen that will certainly further disable us when we step into a public space. We are not being unreasonable when we expect solidarity from nominally progressive people."

So, the only tool we have to prevent the spread of COVID- to avoid infecting and sickening other people- is consistent masking. Which is frustrating. You could even call it unreasonable.

You could call the situation unreasonable. You could call the situation our government has put us in unreasonable. You could direct your frustration over said unreasonable, untenable situation upward, where it belongs: at the government, not downward, at struggling sick people, who have no choice but to engage with COVID safety practices including masking.

I wonder how many people don't know that Alaska had a Typhoon because it affected Indigenous people at a disproportionate rate.

ngl it was weird seeing lefty settlers around here who deny our Indigeneity whenever we don't perform Grateful Noble Savage well enough for them, celebrating Indigenous People's Day a couple days ago.

I wonder what they're all having for thanksgiving dinner next month lmao

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

“We may be witnessing the emergence of a population-level acquired immune deficiency — not sexually transmitted, but airborne.”

That line isn’t from a tweet. It’s from a peer-reviewed paper in AJPM Focus (2025).
