If I hear one more non-indigenous Californian talk about how Hawaiʻi is their favorite spot to “va-cay” I’m gonna lose my fucking mind

Remember, corporations steal more through wage theft than every thief in America put together.
Disney has agreed to settle California's largest wage theft lawsuit, paying out $233 million to 50,000 workers who are owned back pay.

The workers are owned this money because the corporate giant failed to pay them the legally mandated $15/hr minimum wage.

Folks forget that unions made gains not through polite negotiations but through mass resistance to state violence. And why have labour organizers and workers been willing to risk incarceration, beatings, even death? Because that's what workers face AT WORK ANYWAY.

Rest in peace and power, Nikki Giovanni. Your language of revolution and love will live on.

We'll remember, too, that one of your last public acts was to stand in solidarity with Palestine and take PEN America and the Brooklyn Museum to task for refusing to do so

It’s always baffling how little the non-Native general public doesn’t know about Native history. Just gave a brief history of bison to some fellow library staff. They assumed they were all extinct now

"Land Back will encourage ethnocide"

Do whites really think I've been learning to grow food and Indigenous land Stewardship my whole life so I can waste time committing mass violence?

Do y'all really think I'm even going to be thinking about you?

Wild. Delusional.

You know, wealth inequality is pre French Revolution levels, and all the vintage diseases like scurvy and measles and polio are back... history is a cycle is all I'm saying.

I'm saddened to report that Alberta has passed a gender affirming care ban for under 16s, which would ban puberty blockers and HRT way past the age most experience puberty.

The internationally respected Lancet medical journal conservatively estimates that at least 220,000 Palestinians have been killed by the actions of zionists since October 2023.
220,000 humans blown to bits, buried under rubble, shot, starved while zionists blocked aid trucks, dead from diseases.

I know y'all are getting those "Giving Tuesday" emails from some orgs in your community or alumni networks. Consider giving to some Palestinians trying to stay safe, flee, or meet other needs.

Palestinians feel free to respond with your gfms under this skeet
