This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

What if, instead of performative "land acknowledgements," U.S. universities and other institutions worked with existing tribes? What if, instead of this, we helped people today? Cf. Florida State work with the Seminoles. Why isn't there more of this? www.noahpinion.blog/p/no-you-are...

Hey Washington and Florida peeps - if either of these are your reps, I would suggest calling their offices and asking WTF?!? WA your reps number is (202)225-3536. FL your reps number is (202) 225-3376. Remember they work for YOU. And the number one rule these days is DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE!
