DOD, Army websites scrub articles on Navajo Code Talkers, citing Trump DEI policies
Several military websites removed mention of the Navajo Code Talkers, saying new DEI rules demanded it.

BREAKING: Trump and Republicans say they’ll focus their efforts on defeating Native American candidate Deb Haaland, who is running for governor of New Mexico.
She has protected sacred lands and stood up to bullies. It’s obvious why they want her to lose.

What kills me is that so many people refused to vote in the election because Kamala wasn’t “good enough”. It’s gonna take a while for me to get over that. Sorry, just being honest.

I just realized that in the migration to Blue Sky some people might not realize that I changed my last name from LaPena to Lee.
I got married in 2022, and my husband and I previously had the same middle name -Lee. We decided to make that our married name and picked out new middle names!

100% agree that now is the best time to make art. Dream, meditate, create. Stay aligned with your creativity.
If ever there was a time that the world needed your art, it is now. Create. Dream. Vision. PROTEST.
Whatever form it takes, step into your art. The world longs for change and our art, in its myriad forms, is the lifeblood of inspiration.

Watched Nosferatu last night with my husband. I’m still reeling because he said he has NEVER HEARD of Nosferatu! How we are even married is mind boggling.
Needless to say, I gave him a very long lesson on the history of Nosferatu and the vampire genre that he didn’t know he needed.

Thank you Deb Haaland, for caring so much. I appreciate you.
As a Pueblo kid, much of my knowledge about our culture and traditions was passed down to me by my mom and grandparents. www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...
Our ancestors understood the sanctity of birds. Now, we must protect them
When one resource disappears, we all suffer. This is why we must recognize that nature is our most important ally in our fight against climate change.
