Native community is often covered with some awful struggle but what often gets left out is how fun the community is. The Native American Community Clinic hosted a baby shower for families and the Indian Center hosted the Auntie Pickleball Tournament. Both fun and both Native AF.

Join me next Saturday, April 19 at 6 PM for my 35th birthday! RSVP for the location – Co-hosts in formation: www.mobilize.us/omarfatehfor... I've made my home in Minneapolis because I love this city & the community we’ve built here. I want to see that community in full force on April 19!

We have plans this summer to provide fresh veggies, fruit & sacred medicines like sage and sweet grass for at least 5,000 residents. This is the beginning of East Phillips plans to becoming a self sustaining food hub that meets its neighbors needs. Money donates will help with outreach & education

We don't even have to tell y'all it's a lie if you live here, but just in case, consider this confirmation 🫶🏻

This man doesn’t know what a trade deficit is and how tariffs works. At some point we gotta grow a spine and investigate him, his ties to Russian and what money went into his Trump coin. USAID and crumbling our infrastructure only weakens us. I’m all for anti-colonialism but this is bad bad.

I’m 💀

the next Happy Feet movie is gonna be about Trump putting tariffs on the penguins

Minneapolis can’t seem to do right by East Phillips so the gloves are off again. EPNI will be providing emergency box fan filters for the community free of charge, and it is exploring legal action. If the system won’t protect us (again) we will. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Who wants some good news? The overwintering monarch population, which had plummeted last winter, has doubled this winter! www.worldwildlife.org/stories/east...

“See what you can do without going crazy. If you can focus on one thing and you can spend one hour a week, or you can spend one day a week, that’s much better than being depressed and doing nothing.” — Karla Jay I will say that ACT UP history has helped me immensely since Trump won

What I always found perplexing in my personal interactions with Rev McAfee & Lisa Clemons of A Mothers Love was that they weren't just advocating for $ for Northside programs, it had to be *their* program/NGO. The intensity of the demand is a tell. The $ had to first go through their hands, or else.

East Phillips deserves strong standards of environmental protection and every opportunity for community-led regeneration. For now, we urge you to reach out to your Minneapolis council member today, asking them to do more and do better as the Smith Foundry demolition progresses.

Join for a dynamic afternoon of storytelling and art on 3/22 💫 This event will feature cross generational conversation between an East Phillips elder and youth, while inviting the broader community to reflect on: “What does a more vibrant and bright future look like at the Roof Depot site?”

Allison Lussier, an Indigenous woman, was found dead last year after reporting instances of domestic abuse to MPD. MPD failed to provide answers. The After Action request submitted by @jchavezmpls.bsky.social , @elliottpayne.org , and myself has led the City Auditor to conduct a special review.

Minneapolis doesn’t have a strong Mayor, it has strong donors. Residents thought they voted for a single point of accountability, what they got was a single point of failure. Wealthy donors have taken over national politics, let's not let them take over locally. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

How has Trumps plans changed your plans for 2025 and onward?

Also community holds itself accountable by following the demands it created for itself back in 2023. Shutdown smith and bituminous, check 🫡

Two years ago Little Earth and its allies achieved the biggest environmental win in Minneapolis- saving their community from arsenic exposure. Now elders and community are guiding EPNI in the safe development and land transfer of the historic Roof Depot site. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

It’s been nearly two years since community occupied the Roof Depot site to stop the demolition of the building to protect itself from arsenic exposure. February 23rd we celebrate the power of community but also its joy and vision for a hub of innovation and resilience. All are welcomed!

Happy birthday to my ma

Good morning. There’s a protest at Amy Klobuchar office today. Amy has been a collaborator with the new regime. Organized by MIRAC and the Anti-War Mn group. I trust these folks, they have good Marshals etc.

Indigenous people are already living in a dystopian future

Happy birthday to my beautiful father ❤️

A moment of pride and deep gratitude. I was in ceremony and in came in three first timers who were youth. We showed them the way, they asked questions and it was a good sweat. Times are crazy but moments like this ground me that we have resisted and will continue to resist because life finds a way.

We will build in defiance of the empire. This is the men’s group hosted by Many Shields Society in Minneapolis. We will protect our communties.

Community is medicine

Wear masks indoors fam.

Ain’t it the truth. All the masks are off.

I now get to experience Mexico with my father. Not send her video or photos back. I get to watch her see her home and experience all she couldn’t. 🥹

My father just got her permanent residency papers! We’ve been on this journey for 11 years. I’m crying y’all I can’t believe it. She can go home and visit my grandmothers grave and see her brothers and sisters. It’s been 30+ years since she’s been home. Omg the tears the happy tears.
