From Ann Coulter calling for more dead Indians, to Pete Hegseth glorifying the brutal massacre of more than 200 women & children, to all of you justifying the culture of racism in your fucking sports teams on Sundays, murdered Natives is the American theme. Clearly. Prove me wrong. Try.

At present, mainstream NBC News, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NPR, and even Democracy Now!, and The Young Turks have not reported on this call by a racist MAGA pundit for more dead Indians…
Hey, hi, newsrooms — all of you — hire more Indigenous journalists! Or any Native! Ffs. B/c we saw it. Do better.

This is RFK Jr. in 2016 at Standing Rock in North Dakota as we fought against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Here, he poses for the media in front of several armored vehicles set ablaze. He allegedly came to stand in solidarity against an oppressive system & the dehumanization of Indigenous peoples.

My grandfather, a Mexican, was delivered by Dr. Justina Ford in 1936 in Denver, Colo. Justina Ford was banned from practicing medicine in hospitals simply because she was black. Throughout her career, she delivered thousands of black & brown babies out of her home in Denver. #BlackHistoryMonth

She’s a sailor. A pilot. A traditional hunter. She’s the first Alaska Native woman to graduate from the Naval Academy.
And I get to call her my partner in this life.
She doesn’t dig Valentine’s Day, but I dig her.

Whenever they tell us to go back to Mexico or Asia or Africa or the reservation, I'm reminded that they *sincerely* believe they are from this land.

Folks, Trump also wants to strip Natives of our birthright citizenship, and make no mistake, it’s because he wants to “drill, baby, drill” on our lands. By their logic, if we lose our citizenship, then we lose our sovereignty. This would open up millions of acres for aggressive oil & gas extraction.

Saying goodbye to your pup after so many years is extremely difficult. She was one of mine. Her name was Annie — aka Raggedy Annie and Raggedy Ass. She was a rescue baby. Folks, please rescue. Don’t buy. Senior pups need love, too.

For decades, these neon signs were quite popular at bars & restaurants in the west and southwest, particularly. And while most have been taken down, the racist sentiment continues.

White, mainstream ‘objective journalism’:
“They were settlers & colonists…”
Non-whitewashed objective journalism:
They invaded Indigenous territories, so they were invaders.
We’re following the facts, too.

Ten years ago today, we Natives took over The White House — for a documentary.
We worked on a piece for MTV and then they invited us to present the doc.
I later signed the daily program and sent it to my mother for her birthday.
