We are America. How could you possibly target Native Americans - with ICE Officers - and then imprison us? That is impossible. It's legally impossible to do that. - Chase Iron Eyes

Anywho, the main truth I know is that there's ALWAYS something that can be done. Always. You just have to find the things you can do.

This is my song. “Those are the real stakes — not white children feeling guilty, but white children armed with truth, history and a righteous desire to work with others to change the world.”

Peter Yazzie is a Diné (Navajo) man who was 'detained' by ICE in Phoenix on Jan. 12, yet another Native American who has been targeted. ICE agents saw his US ID +proof that he is a Diné citizen, but snatched him anyway.
Here's a video of him speaking about his experience youtube.com/shorts/WOATv...

Detroit was the first place Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered an early version of what would become his “I Have a Dream” speech.

Detroit heard King’s dream first. These Black women are carrying it forward.

For non-German speakers:
“Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

Reminder that most immigration law violations are civil, NOT CRIMINAL offenses, and even more serious violations are MISDEMEANORS, not felonies!
They’re shooting at suspects fleeing from civil or misdemeanor charges!
