"Excluding Indians": Trump admin questions Native Americans' birthright citizenship in court The Trump admin is leaning on a pre-14th Amendment law in its fight to redefine birthright citizenship.

Trump Justice Department exploring ways to end birthright citizenship of Native Americans. The fucking gall to do that on our own land.

I'm here because my Indigenous ancestors survived genocide and that strength gets handed down each generation.We will still be here when they are gone. We've always been here. Doesn't make it any less heavy though.

Feeling the weight of the next round of oppression already moving at lightening pace. It feels heavy and preemptively exhausting. Anyone else feeling this? Will we fight this? Of course we will. Indigenous people's have been fighting these white men since 1492.

In response to the flawed CNN/Edison Research exit poll, the National Urban Indian Family Coalition (NUIFC) decided to conduct our own online exit poll to test those numbers with a higher number of Native voters in more states. Below are the overall results:

If you really want to piss off your MAGA relatives, inform them that nearly everything on their plates originated in the very countries whose people they hate. 2/4

If you celebrate this holiday, give thanks to the Indigenous peoples of the America's for your food. Also give thanks to the Native people of the U.S. for the land upon which you are eating said Indigenous food. 1/4

Call me crazy, but shouldn’t we take the same standard FBI background check required for every federal employee or contractor seeking a security clearance — and apply it to ALL cabinet nominees?

If you fail the background check, you’re eliminated.

Three races left to call. Democrats lead in two and could certainly win the third. But if everything stays as is, the “RECORD WIN” Trump says he just scored will in fact leave him able to lose only the following number of GOP votes on any bill: 2.

Not 20.

2.

Doesn’t seem like a mandate, does it?

Just started Vow of Silence: The Assassination of Annie Mae. 2 episodes in.

Just returned from a red state which shoulda been a blue state - walking around looking at the people there and thinking "did you vote away our democracy 'to lower egg costs' when we all know it's because you dislike immigrants and brown and black people"

A disconcerting and kinda unsafe feeling.

Electoral reform + overturn Citizens United are just small steps in smashing the oligarchy.

FIRST POST! Here for leopards dining on faces, memes, football (Seahawks!), baseball (Mariners), Native American content and general tomfoolery. Absolutely no MAGA.
