I got a whole thing in my head about "Indian at Large," diaspora as a shield, the perils of genealogy without community, and how my book, Bad Indians Book Club, gets at a lot of this.
Need to think about who to pitch that to because it's more than I can do in a skeet thread

His OoC & Companion of the Order of Canada need to be returned ASAP. He says he will NOT return them as they were bc of his writing. A writing career BASED ON A LIE!

I think if there was a financial cost to being outed as a fraud, regardless of intent, people would work harder to verify their family lore.
How is he different from Elizabeth Warren? She also had family lore.

Thinking about Anishnaabe who support Isreal.
If that's their vision of #LandBack then Canada should be very concerned about them. It isn't my vision, but i don't support Isreal either.

So, the film "Inconvenient Indian" was based on a novel written by a pretendian, and directed by another pretendian?
WTF?

King's books, many of which i have read and enjoyed, are conspicuously absent from Bad Indians Book Club.

Years of him claiming but not seeking citizenship. 🚩🚩🚩
Curious what this is going to do to various syllabi and lists that have his books on them.
At least he isn't disputing it.

Why does it feel like no one feels our suffering anymore?
My children are still cold, hungry and fighting every single day. Naser still needs his daily treatment, and every hour without help is fear for his life
Please don’t turn away… your support is our last hope💔💔

Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship.
She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST
