Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

I try to keep reminding spiraling friends. This country has gone through this exact thing many times. And while it may get worse, this country has actually survived worse. And government has done worse.

No mention of how my ancestor's name for Washington was "Town Destroyer," but I suppose a 300-word opinion column doesn't allow for the more complicated history.

Natives in Hollywood would not be where they are today without this man. *I* would not be where I am today. He made the Sundance Film Festival & Sundance Native Lab I was in.

So much more than an advocate, he created space. He was one of the few who invested in our future.

To Robert Redford 🕊️ RIP

I'd say it looks like they combined passing and rushing yards, but even that calculation is off by 8 🤷‍♀️

Micah Parsons eggs on Packers fans chanting 'Thank you, Jerry' after 'Thursday Night Football' win The Micah Parsons trade is turning out well for the Packers so far.

Sometimes journos cook.

"Jones defended the trade by ... arguing that the run defense provided by Clark could give the team a boost even in the short term. Dallas allowed 302 rushing yards in its season-opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles."

Absolutely savage.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages
