“I was hungry” and you cut $1 Billion in funding to schools and food banks. “I was sick” and you worked to gut medicaid, depriving me of healthcare. “I was a stranger” and you defined my humanity by legal status. “What ever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.”-Jesus

NEW: At tribal colleges, scholarships funded by a USDA grant have been suspended amid the Trump administration’s widespread cost-cutting. Now some students are facing their final weeks on campus.

Trump is offering a $25,000 buyout to get rid of its health inspectors, medical researchers and those administering medicare and medicaid. The greatest threat posed by Donald Trump comes from hiring JFK Jr and letting him trash the front line health response. apnews.com/article/hhs-...

Three decades after legislation pushed for the return of Native American remains to Indigenous communities, many of the nation’s top museums and universities still have thousands of human remains in their collections. Check on institutions near you with our database (just updated):

"Whether it is simple ignorance or worse, outright disrespect for and harassment of Tribal citizens, ICE’s law enforcement tactics reflect an abdication of U.S. trust and treaty responsibility with Tribal nations and their citizens, and cannot stand." www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Over 200 Native programs and grants have been impacted by the federal funding freeze, which includes Justice, Education, Housing, agriculture, health & more. www.mvskokemedia.com/over-200-nat...

"... the left could use this moment to make legible what DEI policies actually do to make workers lives more stable and humane, could emphasize that this is not niche stuff for college campuses; it is policy that enables more humans more access to better lives." nymag.com/intelligence...

Alaska lawmakers have rejected Trump’s attempt to erase Denali and change it to Mount McKinley. Right now, when you search for Denali, Mount McKinley comes up instead. Let’s make our voices heard: Denali forever! www.eenews.net/articles/ala...

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

So, public school only for attractive white people without allergies or disabilities? Having a potentially fatal allergy is NOT the same as “not liking” a “beautiful nut.”

Let's get this circulated!! 😤
