Got to the point- naw, I don’t have to read and/or respond to every comment, message, message request etc, My time and energy are mine too- if I don’t feel like it I don’t have to. Not everyone should have access to you at all times-

Empathy and compassion isn’t weakness- it’s true strength, especially giving that to people who have harmed and/or dislike you.

I have a lot of experiences standing up to this 😂

With all I’ve been through I acquired an odd set of skills lol. How to advocate, public relations and social media stuff, how to address council, legal stuff about intellectual property and tribal cultural tangible and intangible property laws, fundraising, etc. Didn’t ask for any of that lol.

What’s the democratic strategy? When they have the house, senate, and presidency- they resort to respectability politics and middle of the road appeasement policy. The right continues to pull everyone further and further right. D’s have popular policy but no follow through.

Democrats and the left need to realize pointing out hypocrisy does little to nothing- they don’t care and their voters and supporters don’t care. What’s your strategy beyond that?

Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is going to court with the Lakota Language Consortium- idk what’s going on, I was just told that there’s a preliminary hearing- I think it shows though, that it’s not just a single person issue- the tribe is now fighting.

Where’s all these unfunny podcasters, the milk boys, that got Trump elected complaining about cancel culture? Andrew Schultz, Tom Segura, Theo Von, Joe Rogan? Buncha lames.

MSNBC has zero moral authority to talk about cowardice of Disney, ABC, or Republicans for bending the knee to MAGA when they did exact thing in their termination of me and others. They are doing the exact thing they complain about others doing.

The “don’t tread on me crew” is doing a lot of treading lately

How deeply unpopular Trump was and is January 6th, the impeachments, the felonies, how Harris crushed him in the debates- I don’t want to be a conspiracy theorist but I still have my doubts about the election.

Release the unredacted Epstein files-

Still haven’t watched @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social since they visited Trump after election. I used to watch every morning.

One thing we as Lakotas need to not do is turn away from organized religion- turning our ceremonies into organized religion- no 501c3s, no heirarchy etc. Organized religion has clouded so many peoples minds.

I had to delete a lot of friends, they relegated Kirk’s words to political differences and if you see his racism, misogyny, anti-lbtq, and anti-trans beliefs as mere political differences then I don’t need to be friends with you. Even some friends I had for decades.

Some of us are living in totally different realities-

Been back on Twitter for bball reasons to follow coaches and post our kids videos but man it’s horrible over there.

If they don’t care about ped*philia- they don’t care about your respectibility politics

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

How did this work out?

So sick of spineless politicians letting Trump do whatever he wants.

unfollowing everyone on linkedin except this guy

Between federal and tribal cuts, we are having to be very cautious with our dollars. I can’t pretend that everything is going to be ok, I can just promise that we are fighting like hell for our TCUs. Thanks to Inside Higher Ed for this piece. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

I miss when country music used to be about subverting authority and the rich- now it runs to it. That’s why they were the outlaws.

DOGE claims to have found billions of dollars in fraud yet not one criminal charge has been filed against anyone, just mass firings of federal employees. Which means they’ve been wasting millions of dollars finding absolutely nothing on purpose. The fraud is DOGE.

My hope is that when career professionals at Defense, NSA, CIA, State, and other agencies absorb the sheer hypocrisy of their bosses getting away with sharing classified information with zero punishment, they will anonymously leak every sordid story, rumor and detail about their bosses to the press.

Honestly hard to believe Trump carried every single swing state and won the popular vote.

Need to primary Schumer.

Still on the AOC and Jasmine Crockett ticket. Need to primary Schumer or get him off of senate minority leader.

What’s shocking is the absolute cowardice of people that won’t stand up to Trump-

Term limits. Take corporate money out of campaigns.

What if Trump just ignores the courts? The Supreme Court already said the president can do whatever they want as long as it’s within their official duties but what is that? A president can basically say everything is.

The LLC and their supporters tried to say I was the one who made the language controversial- I didn’t. It was those who stuck up for them- there will always be people taking from us, it’s controversial to stand up FOR them- not those who stand up TO them.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

BREAKING: we just blocked Musk & Trump out of the Treasury systems! Court order just secured — big win by us at @sddaction.bsky.social & our partners including @publiccitizen.bsky.social!

Notice that one of the first thing Musk did was go for Data. That’s the power of data. Tribes need to get serious about protecting our data.

Been off legacy media since the election- it’s a lot of sensationalism and crises- they try to get us angry and offer no solutions nor avenues- keep everyone in fight or flight mode-

The Fray (band) is very underrated

good job online today, everyone. i just saw all the posts

This is another great article that was published right after the Lakota Language Consortium was banned from tribal lands. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Wow...this rabbit hole is getting deeper 😬. It still amazes me why some Native nations continue to trust non-Natives w/assisting in revitalizing Native languages. Native communities are capable & already do this on their own. They just need adequate financial & genuine moral support.

Lakota Language Consortium and The Language Conservancy internal emails were leaked by a whistleblower in January, this article covers the leak- bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2024/04/sacr...

In January a whistleblower leaked an internal thread- allegations are that the LLC and TLC (their sister org), had a private plane, spent money on 90$ shots of scotch, finest hotels, inflated work hours and wages to grantors etc. After- Meya left, AFire Thunder Loeb was executive director

Anishinaabe here, Canada, I found your post frightening so, I did a cursory search and found the article below which is also scary. In spite of the Group, our people have not overwhelmingly bowed. Petitions up for all of our people www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

This article is missing some twists in the story. Alex FireThunder resigned shortly after becoming the exec director, and LLC has no working phone number or online store. I wonder how to right the wrongs and move forward. @takenalive.bsky.social what are your thoughts? ictnews.org/news/standin...

We’re being dispossessed of our indigenous languages by waivers, copyright, and other intellectual property laws. Indigenous erasure is happening right here and right now in the present.
