Halloween Reminder:
Don’t dress up as a Native American or wearing costumes based on stereotypes of Indigenous cultures. If you're aiming for a clown costume, stick with that, no need to involve cultural appropriation.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

It's not just the federal government in chaos right now, my tribal government, which is structured similarly, has been going completely berserk these past few weeks.

My dad may be a boomer and a cowboy, but don’t worry, he’s definitely not, and has never been, MAGA. Ever! He’s never even been a Republican.

Old 1984 picture of Indian National Finals Rodeo competitors. My brother found this on FB.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

I think people take for granted the ability to post freely on the internet. Our ability to do so is endangered. Social media isn't going away but the powers that be are hyper focused on making it an echo chamber

We’re living in a time when saying you climbed Mt. Everest doesn’t carry the same weight it used to. But if you’re a Sherpa? That’s the ultimate flex, and rightfully so.

Been seeing this a lot lately. MAGA folks calling judges Trump appointed “leftist” the moment they rule against him for unconstitutional orders. Funny how quickly “loyalty” turns into “betrayal” when the law doesn’t bend their way.
