I see ppl saying this isn’t a country they can live in & they don’t see how they can continue, knowing how awful so many ppl are. I say remember this: we Native Americans have survived genocide & oppression since the 1600s. We have not lost who we are. Dig deeper. Build community & persevere.
Never thought these jerks would admit that America was founded on broken treaties, stolen land, massacres (celebrated as ‘Thanksgiving Feasts’, re-education camps (aka boarding schools), and continuing policies designed to steal and exploit what few resources we have left.

Our ancestors prophesied the return of the buffalo and all our wild relatives, when this unsustainable system collapses. Only Indigenous people know how to live the old ways, in right relationship with all the Beings of our mother. Spend more time learning from your elders, less time doomscrolling.
Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

As an Anishinaabe—part of me really hopes this christian nationalist bullshit is what brings Nanaboozhoo back to Turtle Island . Remember to say ‘Boozhoo’ instead of hello to all beings you meet—it’s short for ’Are you Nanaboozhoo?’ Don’t be caught misidentifying that one. IYKYK 😉

This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported.
That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office.
On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!
