Typically, I don’t write in all caps but for this one I will so they can hear me in the back: THEY INVADED NATIVE AMERICAN LANDS HERE FOR GOLD — FOR WEALTH & POWER — AND THEY JUSTIFIED THEIR TAKEOVER BY DEMONIZING OUR INDIGENOUS ASSES. THEY CALLED US “SAVAGES” & TOLD US THEIR INVASION WILL BE GOOD.

This is the oil-horny administration, which comes from the land-horny administration, which comes from the gold-horny admiration, so on and so forth. The first illegal immigrants (white guys) are just wildly horny for more.

How many times have you gone to the African (or African American) Studies department at a university and found white people teaching it? Now, go to the Indigenous studies department…

NYC is the *least* multicultural when it comes to Indigenous peoples: “I’m Oglala.” What’s that? “I’m Chicano.” What’s that? “We’re Yup’ik, Inupiaq, O’odham, Rarámuri, Tulalip … Lenape?” Even in NYC they don’t know who the Lenape are. You’re on their land! New York is ancestral Lenape land! 🤦🏽‍♂️

It’s only when your fur pup takes that walk over the rainbow bridge that you cherish the things they chewed on. You find yourself thumbing over their bite marks. Their hair on everything is everything now. Their beautiful snout left those marks on the window — a window we’ll never clean again. ❤️

My grandpa is 89 and a Chicano. I fear for him every single day he goes to breakfast, because he’s brown. ICE grabs anyone who isn’t a blonde & blue. They grab veterans like him who’s just trying to enjoy his years. He fought for a country that now demonizes him b/c of his color. This is America.

Be the medicine. Not the sickness.

As a boy, I was taught that a dreamcatcher doesn’t belong in a car. It belongs to the east, so when you wake, when the sun rises, the beams burn the bad dreams that try to disturb your rest. Modernly, keep dreamcatchers to the eastern part of your home where the first rays can burn the bad things.

In Lakota, we don’t have a word for “goodbye.” We know a goodbye is never a “goodbye,” because we’ll see you again in this life or the next. Don’t say “goodbye.” Instead, say, “Tokša.” Phonetically, it’s THOK-SHA. It means, “I’ll see you again.”

Today I’ll be recording a year-end special episode of @johnfugelsang.bsky.social ‘s Tell Me Everything on SiriusXM. John invited @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social & me to join the God Squad (Dillon Naber Cruz & Disember Rose) for a mash-up conversation as we close out the year. Stay tuned for air date 🌲

Happy Native American Heritage Day. Yep, we’re still here. Columbus couldn’t kill all of us. George Washington couldn’t kill all of us. Andrew Jackson couldn’t kill all of us. Abraham Lincoln couldn’t kill all of us (fuck him so much). Your white great grandfather couldn’t kill all of us. ✊🏾

One day, I’m going to set up a table at a farmers’ market somewhere and the sign will simply read, ‘Trade.’ We Natives will trade you for whatever you have for our legitimate everything made by Native hands. The epilogue to this story is to stop buying dreamcatchers at gas stations & airports. Stop.

Nov. 28 is Black Friday. It’s also Native American Heritage Day, which is often ignored b/c it’s on a day to buy shit. The day before this capitalistic rampage is Thanksgiving, a day that omits the mass murder of Natives. Add that the Cowboys played the Chiefs during a colonist’s dinner party? Wtf?

Two things: Firstly (and sadly), Black Friday is, in fact, Native American Heritage Day. These two shouldn’t be on the same day. Secondly, don’t spend your $ at big box stores. Buy local. Target, Walmart, Amazon, they won’t suffer if you support small businesses. Always support a small business.

Required listening for oblivious Americans celebrating Thanksgiving. “The first Thanksgiving was a celebration of white people massacring indigenous people & then joining each other at a table & celebrating that.” @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social @johnfugelsang.bsky.social

@simonmoyasmith.bsky.social & I are doing a special Thanksgiving episode tonight on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social’s SiriusXM show (Ch. 127). It’ll air between 9-12 PM ET — & it’ll replay tomorrow. We’re calling it Thanksgiving / Takesgiving / ThanksTaking — a conversation about truth & myth 🌾. Tune in

We dance on stolen land We keep our ways alive We live with trauma Still, we thrive They gave us November, a month Thanks? How about our land back? We know, that’s asking too much Because if they gave it back They’d have to leave Or genocide again They are not the kind that will ever be pleased.

If you missed me and @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social live on Thursday on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social ‘s SiriusXM Progress show, you can catch our segment every Saturday for free. Here’s the latest: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

The difference between a Mexican & a Chicano? A Mexican may be born in Mexico or the U.S.— still, if one moves to Mexico they can become a citizen of Mexico. An Italian from Italy can become a Mexican if he chooses to be a Mexican citizen. Chicanos recognize our Native roots to the land he moved to.

Him: “What do Indians do on Thanksgiving?” Me: “Indigenous peoples? Or Indian-Americans?” Him: “Your kind.” Answer: Many of us don’t celebrate it at all, but we do get together. We get together to celebrate our resilience, that we’re still here, that we survived the US’s plan to kill all of us.

Me on the Eastcoast: “I’m Chicano and Oglala.” “You’re a what?” “… Chicano and Oglala.” “Where’s that?” Really, folks? Really?

If you missed me and @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social last week, you can listen free 🎧👇 We joined @johnfugelsang.bsky.social for a spooky-season convo. We also tackled J.D. Vance’s harmful claim about “child sacrifice” and why that myth is dangerous. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

If you missed our weekly “We’re Still Here” segment on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social SiriusXM show last week, catch @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social & me here for free. We talk about the gov shutdown, a $300M White House ballroom while SNAP benefits are cut & more. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

“If you’re Native American, why do you speak Spanish like that?” Firstly, my mom raised me. She is a Chicana. My dad (the Oglala) took off. *She* approached the Oglalas & said, “His dad bailed. I have one of yours.” That’s how I got enrolled. I speak Chicano b/c I was raised by Chicanos. So, there.

Join @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social & me tonight at 10 PM ET on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social' s SiriusXM show ch 127. We're talking White House demolition, Leech Lake Ojibwe suing 3M & over “forever chemicals” contamination, & just in time for spooky season, Indigenous representation in Welcome to Derry

I’m not opposed to the demolishing of The White House. It was built on stolen Native land by black slaves brought to this continent against their will. What I am opposed to, however, is the GOP sycophants justifying spending $250 million on an unnecessary ballroom while they gut VA healthcare, etc.

Sea levels are rising faster than at any time in the last 4,000 years... Melting glaciers and thermal expansion are driving the ‘acceleration’ of sea level rise to record levels. 😡😡😡 www.euronews.com/green/2025/1...

ICE has no jurisdiction on Indian reservations. So, as Natives of the north, what’s to lose by bringing in the Spayola (Oglala for people of the south)? Nothing. Fuck ICE. Let’s flex our sovereignty. If anything, you’ll get good menudo and a good fight. It’s been a while since we had a good fight.

Join @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social & me live tonight at 10 p.m. ET on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social ‘s SiriusXM Show ch. 127 for our We’re Still Here segment. We’ll be talking with Rae Fancher, Alaska Native, about the devastating flooding in Alaska, & more. Tune in and Call in. 🪶📻 #Indigenous

Listening to people that we would rather not listen to is the responsibility of the journalist, even when we know they are completely full of shit.

Republican: “Libtard!” Me: So, by implication, calling someone a ‘retard’ is ok?

Nation’s Indigenous People Confirm They Don’t Need Special Holiday, Just Large Swaths Of Land Returned Immediately https://theonion.com/nation-s-indigenous-people-confirm-they-don-t-need-spec-1839033177/

Here’s an option: You fuckers keep your beloved Columbus Day and we get billions of acres of our land back, including our sacred sites. Deal? Deal.

Reason No. 1,492 why Columbus Day should no longer be a holiday: Christopher Columbus would hang 13 Indigenous people at a time; one for each of the 12 apostles and one more in the name of Jesus Christ.

Before Columbus, the thief, murderer & rapist, ever got lost and stumbled our way, he was a slave trader for the Portuguese. This means he stole from, murdered, enslaved, and raped Africans long before he continued his vicious, lascivious ways here. Look it up.

"We're Still Here with Simon and Julie" isn't just about history, but also the here and now. Loving it and learning from it, storytelling that's truth telling we all need today. #HappyIndigenousPeoplesDay

If you missed our segment on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social’s show last week, catch @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social & me here for free. We talk about Columbus Day (basically the Confederate flag of holidays),the Ambler mining road in Alaska, ICE raids, & more. 📡 podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

To all the ICE agents who are Mexican, I hope El Cucuy gets you. I hope La Llorona finds you. May you always sleep in the haunted room in the house so you never again get a decent night’s sleep. I hope every cholo y chola is looking for you. I hope every chancla thrown hits you. That way you learn.

Fuck Columbus Day.

Teaching starts from this: We’ll give you the facts as well as we can. But we will give you the facts that are incontrovertible right now. But we can be wrong about what is incontrovertible. It’s a healthy thing to allow yourself to be wrong because that’s the road that leads us to being right.

Latinos build your houses. Latinos pick your produce. Latinos gave you tacos. Latinos gave you guacamole. Latinos gave you chips & salsa. Latinos do the jobs you won’t. Latinos show you what curves are. Latinos gave you jalapeños. Latinos jump in. “Let’s go, then!” Latinos change your oil, lazy.

Imagine: This Thanksgiving, all of you white people — all of you — by some crazy fucking way, have to go back to Europe. Then, when you *try* to come back, only Indigenous peoples are waiting for you at the shoreline. Like an Ellis Island ran by Indigenous folks. Why should we let you back in?

I started in journalism in 2008. The top-brass editor scolded me: “First drama, then the facts. That’s how we sell papers.” I understood journalism from then on.

Trans folks aren’t going anywhere. But you wait, you just fucking wait: Once there’s billions of dollars to be made off of a trans football league or a trans Major League Baseball, you’ll see these hard-core Republican anti-trans fucks change their tune pretty damn quickly. They’re predictable.
