My first post is up! The Constitutional Crisis Americans Forgot: What Trump is doing, has already been done. And not in some foreign country, but right here in the United States. Read and subscribe: open.substack.com/pub/gohini/p/t…
Thanks to Trump, R—skins is back in the news. Just a friendly reminder that it is a dictionary-defined racial slur, so you shouldn’t use it or casually throw it around. Instead, you can use R-skins or the R-word.
Just put this book on my to-read list. I remember when I lived on the east coast I felt so invisible as a Native person. In his new book, Joseph Lee traces Indigenous land and identity on Martha’s Vineyard–a place where both are often erased. hcn.org/articles/findi…
Congress clawed back funding 4 public media & dozens of tribal radio stations are @ risk of shuttering. Native folks living on tribal land can have limited or no internet access making radio an important lifeline. Here r some tribal radio stations to support. @KNBA @ksut @KUYI
July is #DisabilityPrideMonth. Last year my illness was a harsh reminder that those of us who have the privilege of being able-bodied and healthy that privilege is TEMPORARY. Unless we die suddenly, all of us will experience illness and disability in our lifetime.
Trump describes the area around Alligator Alcatraz as a wasteland of pythons and alligators. But it is a sacred site still used by the Miccosukkee Tribe today. The tribe is suing, claiming the facility's construction threatens ceremonial sites. apnews.com/article/alliga…
What Trump is doing is not un-American. It is not new to U.S. democracy. Our gov spent literal centuries rounding up civilians and putting them into concentration camps. But when contemporary Americans need an example, they look across the ocean. open.substack.com/pub/gohini/p/s…
