The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Literally verbatim what Andrew Jackson said to Natives before the Trail of Tears, so… nothing like moving your majestic Indigenous people, eh? If you don’t understand the parallels, I don’t have an ounce of desire to understand you (cause you’re anti-Indigenous!)

In 2022, four white adults murdered Cassius Turvey, an Indigenous 15-year-old in Perth, Australia as he was walking from school. Their trial will start this week. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Federal employees have received a copy of the deferred resignation agreement. Contains a lot of brow-raising lines such as, "Employee waives any claim that could be brought on Employee’s behalf by another entity, including Employee’s labor union." Full text shared with me:

Just because it is in plain sight does not mean it is not what it is: A hostile takeover of the U.S. government by an unelected and unfettered power monger. Believe what you see, do not see what you believe.

The Chinese internet is merciless 😭😭

Boosting this because Nala is an amazing person, and also the subject of grief is as close to universal in the human experience as it gets. Please support this powerful game.

All of my mentees have heard me say to them, "They are lucky to have you." Listen to me. Let me make it plain: ANYONE excelling *in any space designed specifically for them to fail* is doing amazing, sweetie.

Just got a story approved to run on Monday on the crisis happening at the NSF. If you are an NSF-funded scientist and have been personally impacted by the funding pause this week, I'd love to hear from you. Reach me securely on Signal: 3162958947

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

Wait holy shit, Footwork started in BRANT?! That means EDM footwork dance is Native in origin. Fucking duh! Oh my gosh, someone please I pray make this their lives work 😭🤍🪶

Y’all, my friend Jae is getting top surgery and they fucked up the cost he’s liable for. He’s trying to raise money so they don’t cancel his surgery. Please help if you can. ko-fi.com/yadreamjae

Alrighty, so, since a lot of folx suddenly want to discuss Indigenous peoples a couple of reminders: * capitalize the “I” on Indigenous; * don’t talk over Indigenous peoples. If you listen you can learn more; * you having a relationship with an Indigenous person and using that to silence another /1

ICE agents are harassing and threatening Native Americans. If this has happened to you, call my office at (202) 225-6190. Trump said you can tell bad immigrants by what they “look” like. Tribal members look like the first Americans. Stop harassing them.

😐

“Looking for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video”

With the raids going on, remember to spread information, not panic. Be specific about what you witness and give folks information so that they can work with to assess their risk.

I cannot believe he commuted the sentence of Leonard Peltier. I never even let myself believe it would actually ever happen.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Leonard Peltier Granted Executive Clemency After 50 years of unjust incarceration and the tireless efforts of intergenerational grassroots organizing and advocacy, our elder and relative Leonard Peltier has been granted executive clemency.

Leonard Peltier is free www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-bi...

As a child who survived extensive abuse, the entire TikTok situation shows how there is nothing more important to the abuser than their own sense of power. They will hurt you, then demand praise that they stopped. Remember this.

Still kind of amazed the Indigenous people are occupying a building AND a highway in Brazil, and most people in the West are completely unaware. They've been at it for days. It's not in Western media, but it's also not a discussion within Western society.

So, time to bring back #Vine?

Actual tears for this one. The weather report and Los Angeles will never be the same again without David Lynch. So much unforgettable art & beautiful mystery left behind. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

"fix your hearts or die" is one of the greatest quotes ever said by anyone, in any context and it applies now, more than ever, to far too many people to count

For the past three months, Israeli forces have blocked or allowed the interruption of every aid mission attempted by the UN into northern Gaza, as officials warn that famine may be ongoing in the region and Palestinians suffer without water and other basic needs. truthout.org/articles/isr...

Look at what’s happening in Argentina. Hard blow to the science of Argentina The Argentine government orders the cancellation of all scientific programs in the country, except those related to the areas of agro-industry, energy, mining (extractivism), health* and knowledge economy.

Shit’s tough right now for queer folk, especially trans folk, especially trans folk of color. Here at Transplanar, we have NEVER sought assimilation, but freedom. As artists, telling stories is our path toward liberation. Show up for trans artists of color now, more than ever. See y’all Saturday.

Kyle is an absolute treasure of a person. If you can donate please do.

Sign at the St. Thomas Hospital bus stop in Central London: "If the hospital next to this bus stop was in Gaza, Israel would bomb & besiege it then torture & kill the people inside."

Palestinian babies are being shot point blank in the head by the "world's best snipers"

you’d think insurance executives would be paranoid…

The LA Fire Dept funding was CUT There are people who try to cover for the billions of tax dollars going to the police. They‘ll say it’s more complicated but that ignores the simple truth to confuse ppl If LA wanted to fund the fire department more, they could have. They DID increase police budget

Justin Trudeau -fully backed Canada's participation in the Gaza genocide -promised a greener Canada, but pushed for destructive pipelines & other energy projects -Promised Indigenous "reconciliation," but failed to respect sovereignty & fought in court against the rights of Indigenous kids & Elders.
