The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

Navajo Nation Spelling Bee champion!

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Like “OMG! This girl is an exceptional speller, and she’s Navajo, from the Navajo Nation, and goes to a public school on Navajo. It’s so surprising because of all that poverty. I can’t believe it. We must write about this miracle.” 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Today is the Navajo Nation Spelling Bee. I used to cover it years ago—mostly as an excuse to spend time with my mom, a former teacher whose students competed.

Years ago we had an incredible spelling phenom, but larger media used that Navajo talent to frame a poverty-porn narrative. So gross!

a restroom is, then why leave your house? Why even travel? It’s about experiencing a different culture other than your own and meeting new people.

Traveling and visiting the Navajo Nation is a privilege, and if you’re so worried about the restrooms then stay away! Go back to your spas.

I’m so tired of seeing white people TikToks talking shit about their time visiting the Navajo Nation. Don’t visit! I’ve travelled Amsterdam, Italy, NYC, San Fran and roadtripped to Oregon and Michigan from Az - all the restrooms are disgusting! If you’re basing your trips on how clean

Uranium shipments on Navajo Nation will face new rules, officials say More than a year after uranium shipments resumed, the Navajo Nation EPA is drafting regulations and asking for public input by March 9.

From me: ‘Uranium shipments on Navajo Nation will face new rules, officials say’

Tough being Navajo in this age of social media during any kind of eclipse. Someone is always posting pics of the eclipse as it’s happening and days after.

A community college dropout’s banner is hanging on the side of the Department of Education along prominent figures.

They need an Indigenous scholar who has actually contributed to education and society on one of those banners. Like Dr. Annie Wauneka or Peterson Zah.

9 people are wounded in a Cincinnati nightclub shooting Police say a shooting at a crowded Cincinnati nightclub and concert venue has wounded nine people. There have been no immediate arrests.

I’m old enough to remember when mass shootings was shocking. You know, before it was normalized and basically just apart of American culture.

In today’s reporting adventures. Interviewed some great people in the area today!

Of course, some white dude in Payson using this article as an opportunity to refer to Indigenous people as “savages” and give his asinine take on history. I can never read those FB comments because I’m naturally a hot head. Deb, on the other hand, can take on these commenters all day with a smile.

So it appears this country, on its 250th year, is just as bloodthirsty as it was at inception.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Sadly, this is about the next election. He’s laying the groundwork to declare his election “emergency” to change rules and argue to courts they can’t question his national security judgment in war time. And if the Court does, he’s preparing to say that’s beyond their constitutional powers.
