"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Do not become bitter or hostile. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way." - the late Congressman John Lewis

I'm really proud of this article. Quyanakpuq @redped.bsky.social for including me on this project. In this discussion between 5 Indigenous academic women, we discuss the intersection between feminism and Indigenous studies, with lots of suggested readings that shaped our thinking in this area.

NEW: 400+ civil rights groups and unions just joined our demand that Congress refuse funds for ICE and rein in their behavior.
Masked federal agents are endangering our communities and putting lives at risk. Our leaders must act now and defend us from this lawless violence.

Authoritarians want you to despair, they want you to give up Trump is powerful, but only because a lot of people gave him that power. Giving up in advance is one of the worst things you can do.
This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?

View from the top of a mountain a year ago. Being on a mountain top shifts my perspective, reminds me that humans are a very small (if outsized in impact) part of the world, and I need to remember that right now.
Wishing peace to anyone else who needs it.
