I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

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.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Happy Indigenous People's Day to everyone who isn't celebrating a dusty, musty, crusty, genocidal rapist who wanted to & maybe actually did fuck a manatee!!

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

What the ever loving fuck. Crazy how all the stories of this magnitude of insanity from Disney just got swept under the rug & aren't talked about.

When there's construction on the sidewalk in front of your building at work, just start shaking ass to the beat of the jackhammer.

Like I have been saying, King is fine but have you read @sgj.bsky.social? He’s just as good (well actually I think better). The Hudsons in terminal 3 at O’Hare agrees.

Things have settled down a bit for me now, so I'd love to get back into doing more, but I'm not sure where to start. If anyone has anything for me to do, let me know if I can help in any way.

Asia @bitchofthewood.bsky.social · 9d

Diving into advocacy work has not been easy, especially since I wasn't able to do much as a single mom working full time & usually working multiple jobs. After several losses in my family, I've been able to do even less, but I still share the missing posters of Indigenous people as much as possible.
