Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about. Their stories should be known:

Indigenous athletes are at the winter Olympics! 3 Métis athletes from Canada are competing in luge, hockey, & bobsleigh, and 2 Inuk athletes from Greenland (representing Denmark) in the biathlon. Read about them here!

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

I just watched this twice. It’s very impactful and well done. Nothing will ever be done to rectify this colonialism and climate emergency without Democratic leadership. I feel the same sadness and shame as I do seeing the DHS and ICE behavior towards people. #akleg

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

We stand with our 🇬🇱 Inuit relatives. Quyanaqpak to Max with Northern Journal for writing this to bring awareness to the familial connection with Greenland and Iñupiat perspectives of what is happening in Kalaallit Nunaat/Nunarput. #InuitFirst www.northernjournal.com/harm-against...

Greenland has announced it will annex the United States, citing humanitarian concerns, chronic leadership instability, and an urgent need to protect valuable land from reckless mismanagement. Officials assured Americans they'll soon enjoy free healthcare, quieter politics, and less gold plating.

Centering Western perspectives of "true" history by calling our Indigenous histories "prehistory" & insinuating we are only modern due to colonization are two of many ways we are gaslit into assimilation and conformity. Ernestine Hayes (Lingít) says it brilliantly here ✨️ youtu.be/ejKXuPt6rEY?...

Two lawsuits allege that Jay McGraw, son of Dr. Phil, is the “principal beneficiary” of tribal lender Minto Money. CreditServe, a company that McGraw plays a key role in, controls the operation while “the Tribe is merely a front,” the suits said. (Published May w/ @adn.com)

Colonization IS white history. How Indigenous people have survived it is ours.

I am honored to give 2 upcoming presentations in Nuuk, Greenland: 1st - centered on Inuit identity/knowledge as our strength, 2nd - thesis research on the era of missionization + formation of Alaska's education system and its ongoing impacts to Native students and peoples 🙏🏽 #Inuit #Colonization

Wow! Need all of these ❤️

Who is a better colonizer? Denmark or the US? Neither. There are no good colonizers. From one Alaska Inuk to our Inuit relatives in Greenland, a perspective of what to expect if the US takes over your country and our people there. #Inuit #Greenland #Kalaallitnunaat youtu.be/N-E2TsGDlDM?...

Yes, everything feels overwhelming & intense. Go out and feel the sun, wind, rain or snow on your face today. Take big deep breaths. Remember what we are fighting FOR, not AGAINST. Hold it close. Call a loved one & tell them they make our world better. Realign to goodness & let's get to work 💖

Day one of Obama's term, the GOP was facing the same odds and declared unanimously and unambiguously that they would not help him a lick and anyone who didn't like it could eat shit. It largely worked, and they left the literal playbook for the Dems - who have instantly surrendered.

I’m in the nascent stages of organizing licensed Alaska lawyers in good standing who want to use their educations, free time & energy to learn about & work pro bono on issues the current administration may bring to our doorstep & how to be prepared to help people. If you’re interested DM me.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

It’s only “DEI” if it comes from the DEI region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling scapegoating racist bullshit.

Rep. Dibert, who is Alaska Native, goes over some of the history and fights to have the name Denali recognized. She says changing the name ignores their work. "It’s not just a name. It’s a symbol of history, culture and respect."

By unknown

The #Denali Borough often has a kind of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ approach to governing, but they have taken a stance on…you know.

Wonderful to see Māori knowledge and kinship recognized and utilized for its unique and powerful understanding, leading the way with this amazing blessing to learn from this whale.

in my observation, men who were raised within and honor matriarchy are among the most healthy, grounded, and beautifully masculine men I know.

When colonial lies get lodged in our throats, we are very effective carriers of their poison. #endlateralviolence
