Centering Western perspectives of "true" history by calling our Indigenous histories "prehistory" & insinuating we are only modern due to colonization are two of many ways we are gaslit into assimilation and conformity.

Two lawsuits allege that Jay McGraw, son of Dr. Phil, is the “principal beneficiary” of tribal lender Minto Money.

CreditServe, a company that McGraw plays a key role in, controls the operation while “the Tribe is merely a front,” the suits said.

Colonization IS white history.
How Indigenous people have survived it is ours.

Who is a better colonizer? Denmark or the US? Neither. There are no good colonizers.

From one Alaska Inuk to our Inuit relatives in Greenland, a perspective of what to expect if the US takes over your country and our people there.

Yes, everything feels overwhelming & intense.

Go out and feel the sun, wind, rain or snow on your face today. Take big deep breaths.

Remember what we are fighting FOR, not AGAINST. Hold it close.

Call a loved one & tell them they make our world better. Realign to goodness & let's get to work 💖

Day one of Obama's term, the GOP was facing the same odds and declared unanimously and unambiguously that they would not help him a lick and anyone who didn't like it could eat shit. It largely worked, and they left the literal playbook for the Dems - who have instantly surrendered.
"What leverage do we have?" says Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "They control the House, the Senate and the presidency; it's their government."

I’m in the nascent stages of organizing licensed Alaska lawyers in good standing who want to use their educations, free time & energy to learn about & work pro bono on issues the current administration may bring to our doorstep & how to be prepared to help people. If you’re interested DM me.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?
