In my latest article, I write about how ICE raids in Minnesota echo the imprisonment of our ancestors at Fort Snelling, at Bdote, and the execution of the Dakota 38. This isn’t new. The land remembers. So do we. #iceout @sfchronicle.com

ICE is still rampaging in Minnesota. For Native Americans, it’s history repeating itself
OPINION: For my tribes, the Dakota and Diné people, seeing federal agents disappear people from their communities isn’t a new crisis. It is a recurring nightmare, Jacqueline Keeler writes.

The DOJ will redact billionaires’ names in the Epstein files, but Native women who go missing are met with silence & erasure. From Zorro Ranch on Native land to buried federal reports whose lives are worth protecting—and whose aren’t?

This is a very, very bad decision from one of the two Reagan judges left on the Fifth Circuit, joined by one of the two most extreme Trump appointees on the court.

And, it is about the issue I walked through at Law Dork earlier this week, in the context of Minnesota: www.lawdork.com/i/186796727/...

“Fed officials fired tear gas at a crowd of thousands, including families…with large clouds of tear gas, pepper balls & rubber bullets.

The protest was overwhelmingly peaceful…gas reached their eyes & their throats blocks from the facility.”

ICE agents actually told this Navajo father, while they had him zip-tied on the ground, they would go for his kids next. They detained him for several hours despite him having his ID, Certificate of Indian blood, and birth certificate in the car.

Today the Doomsday Clock moved to 85 seconds to midnight—the closest ever. As someone from Hanford’s “Atomic City” & a Diné family harmed by uranium mining, this isn’t just symbolic. As $100B flows to nukes victims are gaslit, treaties expire. Silence isn’t an option.

Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.

Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

Watching the defense try to gaslight survivors by claiming a 'lack of evidence' while Chasing Horse allegedly used spiritual coercion to ensure no witnesses were present is sickening. Predators like this rely on 'New Age' guru dynamics to isolate victims.

Peltola is running for Senate!

A Yup’ik mother and former Congresswoman she could tip the Senate to the Dems.

Yet, Sen. Murkowski (R-AK), a long-time ally and Chair of the Indian Affairs Committee, is sticking with the GOP incumbent to maintain party control.
