The Office of Indian Education just had 7 of its 9 people cut. This shows what the U.S. shutdown means for Native Nations.
It's not closed offices. It is a halted legal obligation.
The stakes beyond the politics.

Did you know that before the Dept of Ed was created, only 1 of every 5 kids with disabilities received a public education. So when people ask why do we need a Dept of Ed, you can tell them it ensures ALL children have access to education. Learn more on this week's podcast: pod.redwine.blue/OBW

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Why is Trump the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl?
Because all the presidents before him realized it would be extraordinarily wasteful to spend 15-20 MILLION of our taxpayer dollars to go in person.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.

Under fascism, no one is safe.
Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.
Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.
Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Federal public servants keep our country running—caring for veterans, protecting seniors, and keeping us safe.
But they’re under attack by billionaires rigging the system to boost profits. I won't stand by while the ultra-wealthy buck the rule of law to steal our power. youtu.be/kTcvUkkCAS4
