Hate against Indigenous people is on the rise in Canada. It often masquerades as convenience-conditional allyship, which is really only cosplay allyship. This piece written by âpihtawikosisân in 2020 is as relevant as ever.

Update on our Food Distribution work with Avalon & Food Gatherers! I'm still raising funds for the creating.care effort - I'm a little over halfway to the ambitious $1,000 goal I set, and would love to see us hit it by the time these distributions go live give.foodgatherers.org/campaigns/41...

I can't believe I just finished #TheDoubleTax WORLD TOUR. Two continents. Three countries. Twenty stops. 🤯 It was the joy of MY LIFE to meet many you in person especially my #bluesky fam. I loved my time in Europe and plan to be back reaaaaal soon! Like REAL soon. #blacksky #booksky

The administration has repeatedly evoked the threat of future disasters as a justification for not funding SNAP. This is obviously BS but also I think the parts of the country that have recently experienced disasters and not received adequate help from this administration would like a word.

Read 🧵…all of it, because it’s what I’m seeing at my institution too, and I’m sure everyone else is as well. Indigenous mentors are so important right now.

Men

Women, we need to work harder to get noticed for ruining science.

I hadnt seen this particular take on this story till now. A minimalist apology. Not impressed. nationalnews.co.uk/news/shamed-...

So how did it go? NIH made 43 DP2 awards, the lowest number in a decade. I really wish Director Bhattacharya would spend doing his actual job rather than badmouthing the agency he is charged to lead and spouting platitudes on podcasts and elsewhere. 6/7

We have reached a verdict: Not guilty.

My congressional representative is THE BEST!

Every few months outlook loses all my email templates and to that I'd just like to say *REDACTED REDACTED screams REDACTED, throws a pillow, screams again REDACTED* Thanks for listening. I feel better

This is the future I dreamt of as a kid…

TLDR: Because the Republicans shutdown the government, holiday travel is about to get WAY WORSE because of staff shortages and major delays.

This is @abirdbear.bsky.social, FYI. I am eternally grateful for his support and absolutely would not be a professor today if he hadn't been hired to support Native students.

Saw this cross my BlueSky timeline and am looking forward to checking it out soon... gonenative.tv

I had student meetings yesterday for my class. It was a writing class so most meetings started with my comments on their papers, but I told them they could ask about anything. Some asked for advice for gap years, how to choose the next career step, even audio books :) my favorite question was...🧵

Amid all happy election results tonight, here’s one that’s giving me joy: my friend & colleague @louierivers3.bsky.social was elected to the Chapel Hill city council! “His campaign priorities included preparing for climate change, expanding housing opportunities and expanding community engagement.”

Good news from Maine! www.mainepublic.org/politics/202...

Today is my birthday. (Ever so much better than the last.) Celebrating by watching this full speech. "Hope over tyranny."

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

I hope than in some years when we look back at tonight we see it as the night change started happening. Change in all of the US. I hope his actions live to that speech. I have to hope because hope is the last thing they can take away from me.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Just because we beat them doesn’t mean we should continue to let billionaires spend whatever they want on elections.

Whoa. I grew up in Erie. When I was a kid it was blue, but has turned pretty trumpy. This is a big flip!

I feel like every blue wave in my lifetime has had a “but” attached to the end of it… Except tonight.

The transcript of The Speech. singjupost.com/transcript-z...

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Full speech here. Is...is that hope I'm feeling this morning? I'd forgotten what that feels like youtu.be/JC1h6rJQBvs?...

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats have broken the Republican Party’s supermajority in the Mississippi Senate. Democrats flipped two GOP-held Senate seats and one House seat in the special elections. buff.ly/nTvLlFI

Really tired of having elections with such dire consequences can we have fun elections where we're choosing the greater of two goods instead

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."
