After Tuesday- it’s hard for me to believe Trump won in 2024- he had every reason to cheat- if he didn’t cheat he would have went to prison so what did he have to lose?

For the first time, Catholic sisters return land to a Tribal nation "This return represents more than the restoration of land β€” it is the restoration of balance, dignity, and our sacred connection to the places our ancestors once walked."

If James Comey announces he’s running for President (I am not a fan of James Comey) does he get the immunity too?

Got to the point- naw, I don’t have to read and/or respond to every comment, message, message request etc,

My time and energy are mine too- if I don’t feel like it I don’t have to.

Not everyone should have access to you at all times-

Empathy and compassion isn’t weakness- it’s true strength, especially giving that to people who have harmed and/or dislike you.

With all I’ve been through I acquired an odd set of skills lol.

How to advocate, public relations and social media stuff, how to address council, legal stuff about intellectual property and tribal cultural tangible and intangible property laws, fundraising, etc.

Didn’t ask for any of that lol.

What’s the democratic strategy?

When they have the house, senate, and presidency- they resort to respectability politics and middle of the road appeasement policy.

The right continues to pull everyone further and further right.

D’s have popular policy but no follow through.

Democrats and the left need to realize pointing out hypocrisy does little to nothing- they don’t care and their voters and supporters don’t care.

What’s your strategy beyond that?

Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is going to court with the Lakota Language Consortium- idk what’s going on, I was just told that there’s a preliminary hearing- I think it shows though, that it’s not just a single person issue- the tribe is now fighting.

Where’s all these unfunny podcasters, the milk boys, that got Trump elected complaining about cancel culture? Andrew Schultz, Tom Segura, Theo Von, Joe Rogan? Buncha lames.

MSNBC has zero moral authority to talk about cowardice of Disney, ABC, or Republicans for bending the knee to MAGA when they did exact thing in their termination of me and others. They are doing the exact thing they complain about others doing.

How deeply unpopular Trump was and is January 6th, the impeachments, the felonies, how Harris crushed him in the debates- I don’t want to be a conspiracy theorist but I still have my doubts about the election.

One thing we as Lakotas need to not do is turn away from organized religion- turning our ceremonies into organized religion- no 501c3s, no heirarchy etc.

Organized religion has clouded so many peoples minds.

I had to delete a lot of friends, they relegated Kirk’s words to political differences and if you see his racism, misogyny, anti-lbtq, and anti-trans beliefs as mere political differences then I don’t need to be friends with you. Even some friends I had for decades.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

Tribal Colleges Fear for Their Federal Funding As the Trump administration slashes government spending, some tribal college leaders are preparing for the worst.

Between federal and tribal cuts, we are having to be very cautious with our dollars. I can’t pretend that everything is going to be ok, I can just promise that we are fighting like hell for our TCUs.
