Would Jesus demand the parents of a sick child pay for medicine to help their baby? Christian nationalists do not believe in free, universal healthcare, but, hear me out, how about free healthcare for kids? Jesus would get behind that, right? If there is a God, is He on break?

Oglala Lakota journalist @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social and Ojibway clinician and artist @juliefrancella.com describe Mullin as a “Custer Scout.” Spot-on take, IMHO.

Worthwhile listening from an Indigenous perspective, via @johnfugelsang.bsky.social:

Ironically, most white people who claim to be part Cherokee actually aren't (and why is it always Cherokee?).

I recommend @juliefrancella.com and @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social who are indigenous writers/activists with a weekly segment on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social's radio show/podcast.

Eye opening.

To be Indigenous is less about being *born* Indigenous than it is about what we do w/ that honor. Crazy Horse was murdered while fighting arrest. Geronimo wouldn’t submit when threats were imminent. Being Native isn’t about simply claiming it, it’s about living up to the principles & never wavering.

For decades, Rev. Jesse Jackson stood with Indigenous peoples and our fight against injustice. He visited the Oceti Sakowin camp on the Standing Rock rez in 2016 as we fought against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Rest in power, sir.

It was me. And thank you! 😎

Yep. It was me. 😎

Yep. T’was muah.

And, in Ojibway, we also don’t have a word for “goodbye”. Instead, we say Baamaapii (Bah-mah-pee). It means “until later,” or “I will see you again.” Our language carries the understanding that relationships are never truly ended —even after death, we will see each other in this life or the next.

Yep. 😎

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

ICE has my people. They have Oglalas. They have Mexicanos. They’ve demonized us, the Indigenous ppls of this land, all over again. They did this when they first stumbled onto our continent 534 yrs ago. They kidnapped & terrorized, and they committed their hate under the banner of white supremacy.

Please follow Simon. I’ve learned so much from him about the indigenous perspective🙏

I dig yours. ✊🏾

An Indigenous perspective:

Democratic socialism has been here for thousands of years — everyone had a say, everyone had a vote, families didn’t starve, no one was homeless, children didn’t go hungry.

Caring for people wasn’t a hard math.

Who was in charge of Japanese internment? The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). Why? B/c many Indian reservations were first established as prison camps. My rez is Prison Camp 334. Google ‘Poston.’ On the Navajo Nation, this was an internment camp within an internment camp. We’ve been here before.

A family member reacts after a federal immigration officer used a battering ram to break down a door before making an arrest on January 11, 2026, in Minneapolis.
