We recently lost $6 million due to NIH budget cuts. Like many, we depend on public departments to fund vital research and infrastructure in Indian Country. We always reachout to philanthropists, but we feel people, like you can also take pride in fostering our mission. vimeo.com/1142541296/e...

NativeBio has been lucky to have such good philanthropic partners. McGovern has definitely been in our Top5! Thank you for your trust, insight and forward thinking @pjmfdn.bsky.social !!!

Hi world of Philanthropy & @nativegiving.bsky.social @ncig2013.bsky.social @mediaindigena.bsky.social @indigenousdatalab.bsky.social @fnigc.bsky.social we're glad Patrick McGovern took a chance on our 501C3. Native Governance, oversight, rights, & OCAP aren't popular. Together we'll change that!

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

2/2 but good in that more Indigenous undergraduate and graduate students know about and wish to talk about this and overall Indigenous Data sovereignty!! tribalcollegejournal.org/our-dna-our-...

1/2 This has been an issue since at least 1996 (long before if you include birth control, radiation, syphilis and tuberculosis research). In a way it’s bad we are still talking about this with universities and federal funders), tribalcollegejournal.org/our-dna-our-...

"As masked agents dragged the woman from her car, wrestled her to the ground and forced handcuffs on her, she yelled, 'I’m a US citizen. Please help me! This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?' She was wearing scrubs and appeared to be on her way to work." www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

All indigenous peoples of the Americas need to remember that they are powerful and legitimate residents of this hemisphere. We can win against MAGA and Bannon and Modi and Putin and Bolsonaro

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Warner is right. Leaders have a duty to protect U.S. troops from being ordered into unlawful situations, not push them toward potential war-crimes liability. Hegseth’s pattern of chaos and disregard for procedure endangers the force, not the enemy. #holdfast #steadystate

🚨 #GVerse #BreakingNews via @calltoactivism.bsky.social: Sen. Mark Warner just EXPOSED the #Shit4Brains administration’s game: They bragged about the Caribbean strikes… but secretly classified the one part of the footage that shows possible war crimes. Raise your hand if you want it public. ✋

2/2 for working on this IEEE Standard Published. We are in a new world and making it better. Let's keep up the good work. @globalindigenous.bsky.social @nativenewsonline.bsky.social @ncig2013.bsky.social @ndncollective.bsky.social take notice of Indigenous Academia ictnews.org/uncategorize...

This is what NativeBio is trying to fight. DNA is a business, estimated to be worh $172 billion/year by 2035. We live in a glut of information, including disinformation. The Genomics field already has a history of racism, power dynamics, data theft, surgical/chemical sterilization and murder.

1/3 Ok, I get how "the 3rd World" is a pejorative, but #GlobalSouth, just like "I don't see color" is a neoliberal erasure of the actual problem. There are many "European" countries in the south, like Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, and Chile. East Asian www.numberanalytics.com/blog/ultimat...

And honestly, the Equatorial & Global South Countries are hot commodities now because of the raw resources for the Silicon & Bio Tech industries. Who will be "brokering" our stuff for sale to El Norte? Is it gonna be black & brown people getting a fair price for Coltan, Chocolate, Plant DNA? Nope.

2/3 powers won't be helping us either. What we should emphasize are the #equatorialcountries being exploited for heat tolerant, drought tolerant, swamp tolerant systems to save the Euro-descendant countries from Climate change. When the shit hits the fan, www.numberanalytics.com/blog/ultimat...

3/3 its the black and brown people who will be left to suffer after giving all their resources in a pseudo-trade for worthless promises of tech and banking systems. Let's call it #GlobalEquator or #CountriesUndominatedByEuros www.numberanalytics.com/blog/ultimat...

To those with a shared vision of future with a multipolar world where everyone benefits, we're definitely at a cross-roads which has the potential to become very violent (physical, economic, environmental). There's another path. #BELIEVE We all have to commit to it. www.geopol.uk/what-is-a-mu...
