I thank my Indigenous fellow decolonial thinkers, Rick Harp, Candis Callison, Zoe Todd and Kim TallBear whose solidarity mean the world to me. It is always a pleasure to share space with you: to challenge coloniality and explore more generative ways of living and working otherwise.

Russian authorities have detained an Indigenous climate advocate, accusing her of participating in a terrorist organization in what international observers are calling “retribution” for her UN advocacy on behalf of Indigenous peoples.
She fought forIndigenous voices at the UN. Now she’s in a Russian jail cell.
Observers say Daria Egereva’s case highlights the risks Native advocates face when they challenge the powerful.

Just found out Zohran Mamdani said he’d arrest Netanyahu if he lands in NYC—because no war criminal should be above the law. That’s the kind of courage we need in a mayor. A city that stands for human rights, not genocide.

This interview may not be seen as helpful in this moment to scientists who see "politics" as a dirty word.
But there is no outside the social. We help train Indigenous scientists to do science with joy in support of Indigenous life & governance, and we'll continue amidst volatile settler politics.
