I can't stop reading these, the qt/ replies are like putting culture in a blender and hitting "puree", it's so refreshing

Man, I liked the prose but mostly that book was just mean. I was 3 pages from the end and was like, how you gonna bring this home?
See? This guy gets it
I've never seen the avatar movies, and after what Cameron said about the Lakota people, I never ever will
Oof, I won't watch it. Aronofsky is loaded
Mad respect. It is deeply hatable (though I did not hate it, meself).
There's a modern artist that recorded a version of Blackbird in her Native Blackfeet that is absolutely lovely.
Man, Kate Chopin's The Awakening. Senior year I convinced staff to let me take adv Jr English and AP Snr English in one year (long story). We studied the technical of that book in jr & meaning in AP. By year's end I was so sick of it, but come AP test time just guess which book I wrote my essay on.
I'd like to report a murder, Jesus Christ

He's a dangerous shitstain and this admin has been foaming at the mouth to strip Natives of any value we have left & turn our land back into prisons. Mullin is their way in.
That said, if he suddenly grew a pair & stood up for Indigenous values he'd have a chance to do the funniest thing right now.
Isn't this @edzitron.com 's whole thing?

ALERT: I'm seeing headlines like this claiming victory on the Big Bend border wall. THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE. All DHS did was change the color of a line on a map. DHS engineers have mapped out a course for the wall in Big Bend National Park. They showed their cards. (thread 1/6)
Having Mullin rolled out as Noem's replacement means we will soon be getting a stream of racist, anti-Indigenous "jokes" and memes from Liberals & Lefties. If you feel yourself temped...don't.Go instead for his public nose picking, incompetence, or general worthlessness as a human being, okay?

Aw man, @thenarwhal.ca , I used to really appreciate the reporting on First Nations, but this is an unfollowable offense. Please don't use the plagiarism theft world destroying machine.
Will Rogers is amazing. Lore I've heard is that his ancestors slaughtered some of Mullin's for selling out their land to the US government.
The Cherokee Nation claims him. There are plenty of reasons to shit on the man but him being Native ain't it

Ahhhhhhh haha
I'm reading a biography about James Baldwin, and a history of the Luddites right now, and I keep seeing how similar the struggle is, to both 75 years ago and 175 years ago.
Talk among the Indigenous community is it is the same struggle as it has been for 300 years.
La luche sigue sigue.
Question for Americans specifically, do you think of this current period of time as notably more ahistorical compared to past decades? (Also, while I'm looking for gut intuition answers, if sociologists or other academics have recommendations for reading about this, I'd love to see it!)
Yaroooo!
