At a school where if you made it through, you weren't called a Graduate, you were called a Survivor. Let that sink in.
Sending my love to everyone who needs it today. Please reach out for support if you are in need.
Son and grandson of residential school survivors.
Both of my parents attended the Kamloops Indian Residential School where the 215 were rediscovered.
A screenshot of two X posts. The first post is from Tom Morello (@tmorello), timestamped 7 hours ago, with a profile picture showing a person in a colorful outfit. The text reads: "What the f*ck is wrong with these people. Wounded Knee was a bloodthirsty massacre of Lakota Sioux, including dozens of women and children." The second post is from Secretary of War Pete (@username), timestamped 9 hours ago, with a profile picture of a man in a suit. The text reads: "Under my direction, the soldiers who fought at the Battle of Wounded Knee will keep their medals. This decision is final. Their place in history is settled." The second post includes an image of a man in a suit standing in front of an American flag and an official seal, appearing to give a formal statement.
Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nationβs history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

Climate change is a far bigger contributor to food price inflation than federal climate policies in Canada. At some point, even the most blinkered Conservative partisan is going to have to face up to this politically inconvenient truth, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes.

Wildfires are a reality for people in Northeast BC.
Yet with their endurance & the work of the BC Wildfire Service, they always bounce back. Now leaders in wildfire innovation, clean energy.
Taking a moment at the BCWS Base to discuss some of the wisdom Iβve learned from them.
