Realizing that radical Sovereignty is the only way. Am becoming an unapologetic, Indigenous menace. My only goal from here on out is to make my Ancestors proud.

Methane makes up 48% of NZ's climate pollution.

The Luxon Govt's Trumpian announcement that they’ll never penalise methane pollution, along with moves to INCREASE the dairy herd, is a huge slap in the face for our Pacific neighbours and many NZers already facing the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis.

The solutions proposed for New Zealand's (and virtually every other country's) problems are always like:
"We need to make people work for more years"
"We have to cut back on services, I'm sorry, there is just no other way"
"We have to cut benefits for young people"

never:
"We need to tax the rich"

Tribal colleges have expanded access to higher education for Native students.

With median tuition of just $3,572, these affordable institutions focus on serving Native American students while teaching #Indigenous history, culture and language.

Tribal colleges and universities aren’t well known, but are a crucial steppingstone for Native students

While more Native Americans living on reservations attend college than in decades prior, just 10.3% earned college degrees in 2020.

Colorado AG Phil Weiser (D) is calling on Coloradans to turn out en masse for Oct 18 demonstrations against President Trump’s use of the military in American cities. “Don’t be afraid,” Weiser said. “Don’t be afraid to show up.” #copolitics
