RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

I panic bought a bag of oranges the other day. I’ve been handing them out to friends I see like some sort of citrus prepper
I take for granted so many things that rely on capitalism and the exploitation of land and people
What privilege to even philosophize about a bag of oranges

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.
That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.
This is the second verified incident I've heard about.
We were here 1st.
