Just a reminder to non-Native folks, Lakota Man is not a trusted source of information or Native news. He isn't even honest about his own identity much less anything else regarding Native people, which is why he has most Native folks blocked.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?
John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

N95 masks protect against wildfire smoke, airborne viruses, and more. They are an essential public health tool. Like condoms and many other public health tools, the government should make N95 masks free and easily accessible to the public throughout the year.

Remember this as you see dems smile and shake hands, hand over the reigns of power and host fascists at dinner parties - none of that is required and they could be making daily life incredibly hard for their “enemies.”
The reality is the rich and powerful aren’t on our side. We need real leaders.

Said it before but now that it's Jan 6 I'll say it again: The violent attack at the Capitol was done by rich people, the modern landed gentry, the people who could afford to travel and book fancy hotels to plot a violent attack. It wasn't hicks. It was rich people doing crime.
As we reach 1/6/2025 and the expected certification of Trump’s return to power, DOJ prosecutors reveal they are weighing charging 200 more people for their involvement in the 1/6/2021 attack on the Capitol that Trump set on its feet—including 60 felony cases. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
