Been out of the SCOTUS opinion analysis for a min (baby). But this Gorsuch Dissent (joined by Thomas 😮) from cert. denial in Veneno v. US, which challenged the Major Crimes Act (a fed. law that allows feds. to prosecute crimes on Indian Reservations), is worth discussing/explaining for a sec. 🧵 1/8

Cover of Nov 2025 issue of School Library Journal features photograph of Native writer, Angeline Boulley.
I think this may be the first time @slj.com has featured a Native writer on the cover. If anyone can recall a previous issue with a Native writer on the cover, let me know! Thanks.

Artist Georgia O'Keeffe ignored the Indigenous presence all around her in New Mexico. Now a new exhibition at the O'Keeffe Museum draws awareness to the ongoing presence of Tewa Peoples by presenting a group exhibition of Tewa artists.

🚨 Super exciting news…the new edition of the Bluebook has a brand new rule…
Rule 22 on how to cite materials from Tribal Nations!!!
A long overdue and welcome development. Tribal Law scholars, we have a lot to be proud of today.
Tribal Law and Tribal Nations are a little less invisible today.🫶🏽✊🏽
A new website illuminates the history of Indigenous enslavement in New England. Historians at Brown Univ. & tribal members from across the region are launching a project they hope will bring awareness to the enslavement of Indigenous people in North America.

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races.
And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards.
I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.
A federal judge agreed Thursday to temporarily block the Trump administration from taking any more steps to dismantle an agency that funds and promotes libraries across the U.S.
