Also Hate verbally separating "Mexican" from "American Indian" for dummies.
80% of folks from "Latin American" zones that you'd encounter is Indigenous/"Mixed" and those people are as much part of my people too.

CECOT, the torture prison in central america (think larger scale, less secret Guantanamo).

not many ways to "help" right now...
At least:
Know your Neighborhood, know the Reservations nearby, know who Hurts around you, know your Family and Peoples' Histories before Here, understand Ancestral Solidarity even if it's way back due to Rome.
Inform Everyone, spread the word

Native American genocide is being finished up Now.

The Indian Wars + the Indian Termination Policy only became occulted by WWII but nothing has changed, with all that being Less Than 80 Years Ago and many people live as long as that.

absolutely bizarre to see a violent, rogue american regime, which is threatening military attacks on a bunch of major trading partners and close allies, and openly fantasizing about hitler-style wars of territorial conquest, covered in the tone of horse-race political commentary

mexico is one of our two largest trading partners, a democracy with 130 million people, where the president won 61% of the vote in the last election. trump is literally threatening a decapitation strike against her. this is utter insanity, it's like saying we're going to airstrike Keir Starmer

the trump administration is living inside a social media dreamworld where the US is literally all-powerful and can do anything it wants to anyone it wants, and the US media, rather than pointing out this is deranged madness, is trying to demonstrate its neutrality by dignifying the fantasy
