I did not know about these resources. Seeing it like this gives me the chills and I didn’t know I could have chills on top of chills and I am now even more nauseated.

A loud protest can feed his need for attention, but turning away denies him the thing he wants most: legitimacy. To turn your back is to say, You are beneath even our anger. You do not matter.

It is a social rejection that makes clear: You are no longer worthy of our time, our attention, or our respect.
In the case of Trump’s State of the Union, this action would be an unmistakable message. He thrives on chaos, manipulation, and lies.

When a person’s behavior becomes so harmful that words and debate are meaningless, the strongest response is silence and refusal to engage.

It is not just shunning; it is a deliberate withdrawal of recognition, stripping them of the power and respect they crave.
In Native traditions, honor is not a birthright—it is earned through actions that benefit the people.

DOGE is a disaster—It’s a playground for corruption and incompetence, where bad actors can manipulate systems with no oversight. Instead of fixing bureaucracy, it’s making it worse—just another example of power handed to the wrong people.

Small US business owner here… I’m hoping we survive the boycotts. We are a woman and indigenous owned business, focused on building community, dispelling negative stereotypes, workforce development, education, outreach and workforce development. All through our coffee shop. 💕🙌🏽BeaverTalesCoffee.com
