I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I wrote about AIM’s Minneapolis origin story and why patrols are back on Franklin Avenue right now, as ICE escalates across the Twin Cities.

His ‘special place’ is ready and waiting. It includes a dirt-plated cell with an old TV that only plays footage of Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize on an infinite loop.

The original peoples of this land are being detained by ICE.

Native people did not cross borders. Borders crossed us.
I wrote about what’s happening, the history behind it, & why it should alarm everyone.

How many times can we, Indigenous folks, say, “We told you so?” before you listen?

How many times have we said you can’t eat gold or drink oil?

How many times have we said the white man’s system will leave families houseless, cold, hungry, hunted, and sick?

How many times do we need to tell you?

Apparently, it is now acceptable to attain a new status in life, simply by proclamation.

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.

If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

War has always been the refuge of failed leadership. When presidents can’t deliver dignity at home, they export chaos elsewhere.

Empire always claims it’s enforcing law. Indigenous people know it’s enforcing access. #Oil #Venezuela

Happy Equinox! In our Ojibway teachings, this shift into fall feels like a pause. Time to notice the balance of light and dark, gather what we need, and move with the season’s slower rhythm. New light, steady steps.

Did you know? The Jay Treaty (1794) is still in effect.

It recognizes that Indigenous people born on the north side of the US–Canada border have the right to live, work, & trade freely in the United States, honoring Nations and homelands that long predate any border.

Chihuahuas are sacred to the Mexica. Dogs were here long before white ppl. Dogs are essential to a Native community’s way of life. To the Inupiaq, dogs are imperative for travel, protection, & hunting. Now, shelters are past capacity because of Trump’s racist removal of Native families.

Read anything by Vine Deloria Jr. Read, ‘Lies My Teacher Told Me,’ by James Loewen. Read Howard Zinn’s ‘A People’s History of the United States,’ and read ‘The Lakota Way,’ by Joseph Marshall III. You have your homework.

Without federal funding, public media — and the truth-telling, community-connecting role it plays — is at risk.

Today, President Trump signed a bill into law that will eliminate $1.1B of federal funding for public media. This devastating act tipped the threat against journalism in America into a crisis.

Lately, people have been asking me, “Where can I get sage?”

Among our people, we don’t buy or sell it. Sage is sacred to us. It is a medicine once outlawed, carried through generations in secret.
My latest Substack speaks to this.
