I try to keep reminding spiraling friends. This country has gone through this exact thing many times. And while it may get worse, this country has actually survived worse. And government has done worse.

TIL that the word "cliché" is an onomatopoeia

No mention of how my ancestor's name for Washington was "Town Destroyer," but I suppose a 300-word opinion column doesn't allow for the more complicated history.

Natives in Hollywood would not be where they are today without this man. *I* would not be where I am today. He made the Sundance Film Festival & Sundance Native Lab I was in.

So much more than an advocate, he created space. He was one of the few who invested in our future.

To Robert Redford 🕊️ RIP

I'd say it looks like they combined passing and rushing yards, but even that calculation is off by 8 🤷‍♀️

Sometimes journos cook.

"Jones defended the trade by ... arguing that the run defense provided by Clark could give the team a boost even in the short term. Dallas allowed 302 rushing yards in its season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles."

Absolutely savage.

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

It's like everyone forgets how the Native American reservation system began and that our country was, quite literally, built for this. We did not borrow the idea from anyone else.
