if you’d like to give something today I’d ask for you to direct it to the disaster relief in Western Alaska.

This Indigenous Peoples Day please speak up: another typhoon sweeping away homes of Alaska's Natives, who, during settlement (statehood: 1948) were forced to end ways of life (like my Grandma's) involving mobility across regions & stuck them in flood-prone/unstable villages with housing deficits.

I’m not sorry for saying this what they did to our captured relatives was beyond cruelty. They were stripped of their dignity, tortured with electricity, and treated like less than human. It was horror designed to erase their humanity.

My ancestors were almost wiped out by colonizers and their smallpox so you'll have to excuse me if I don't consider you a leftist if you refuse to mask. I'm not letting this generation of colonizers kill me because they don't understand basic science.

A post from @joadsprocket.bsky.social that reads "I am not interested in living in a society of Universal Public Masking and neither are most people. This ask is not reasonable, and the invocation of solidarity in service of it is ridiculous." The post is quoting a blocked post by @chantzy.bsky.social which reads "Dear liberals, if you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. It's one small act of solidarity with millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health"

The second post by @joadsprocket.bsky.social reads "Also a fine example of 'anyone not doing what I want them to is a Liberal."

The third post by @joadsprocket.bsky.social is a screenshot of the original chantzy.bsky.social post with the caption "ope"

A gentle reminder: If this goal is not met, we will be homeless.

I am an Indigenous person that's been through utter hell in the last two years. I am disabled and queer. Despite being marginalized, I'm the one having to carry the burden of finances. It has been extremely difficult.

Anything helps.

Happy Indigenous People’s Day, I’m a Borikén Taíno creative who is the only income and trying to keep a roof over mine and my partner’s heads.

The last almost two years have been extremely difficult, and many Indigenous people like me live below the poverty line.

I’m one of the people who lost everything.
83% destroyed is not just a number — it’s my home, my street, my life.
We didn’t need a nuclear bomb to be erased…
Now they talk about "rebuilding."
But no one asks how we’re surviving in tents, cold and hungry.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

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.

www.dailydot.com/irl/lakotama...

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.

Please, help her and her sick mother. Her mother’s condition is severe; she suffers from partial paralysis and can barely move inside the tents..

My family and I are living in tents now, and my mother is sick. You know that a sick person cannot tolerate living in a tent they need a clean environment. Unfortunately, we are not in a clean place. You know how hard life in tents is sleeping on sand, having insects inside.🥺💔
