Food security is a crisis on reservations across the US, in a classic example of the ways colonialism strip people of independence and solidarity and cultivate forced poverty and deprivation.
SNAP was restored, but many indigenous Americans still struggle with food insecurity
During the government shutdown, disruptions in food aid rippled across reservations. Both residents and tribal officials had to make tough choices, and are still feeling the financial impacts.

Want to pull out this slide: people deserve to know there’s a growing mountain of evidence finding more Covid infections = more likelihood of being left chronically ill.
There’s a temptation to think that if you recovered ok last time, then you will next time too, but that’s not what the data say.

Because structural thinking offers inoculation against authoritarianism, the Right has vilified terms that nod to structure (privilege, patriarchy, critical theory), and attacked the institutions trying to help people understand systemic problems. Refusing to use the terms emboldens further attacks.

Speed running the dictator’s dilemma
In true authoritarian fashion, Trump, confronted by evidence of his failures, fired the labor statistics chief for telling the truth.
It’s dangerously insane to set the credibility of government stats on fire to satisfy presidential whims.
This isn’t how Americans govern; it’s how despots rule.
