🧡There's a lot of discourse surrounding this controversial post made by Ann Coulter in which she features a pic of a Native college professor and states "We didn't kill enough Indians." As a Mvskoke Semvnole woman I'd like to say mvto (thank you) to Coulter for this post. Natives have survived ongoing physical and cultural genocides, blankets given in the first act of colonial bioweapon usage in history, image
1/ Since Greyhound Bus is not taking this situation seriously when I tried to resolve it (I've called twice and been refused a supervisor then hung up on) I'm going to let you know that your physical safety is at risk when you travel with them. Tonight in OKC I attempted to make a trip I've made countless times. The security guard I asked about boarding told me the bus had not arrived yet. I had to ask him because the front desk was unoccupied. image
NO THE FUCK IT'S NOT. Crap like this is the reason there are valid criticisms being leveled at your brand of organizing (and it very much is a brand with your dancing and performative sign holding not backed up with actionable steps to bring change and selfies and permitted parades and yelling shame at ice agents when they're already ice agents so they have no shame and gross patriotism and whiteness). But at least now you can tell yourself you did something while the world burns. #LANDBACK image
Mvskoke Nation Principal Chief David Hills response to Oklahoma governor kevin stitt's attack on Native sovereignty, and the Mvskoke Nation in particular, is a masterclass of accountability. image
We're going to need rebellions big and tiny if we are to make it through. Anything you can do to resist is important.
Happy captain james cook getting what he deserved Day! british colonizer captain cook was killed by Native Hawaiians on this day in 1779. cook, whose men spread disease & used violence against Native Peoples for rejecting his rule, was stabbed to death for trying to kidnap the ruling chief of Hawai'i, Kalani'ōpu'u. *Just reminding folks that Native Hawaiians have asked that commercial travel cease to their islands due to environmental disasters brought on by colonialism.* image
White folks keep asking what to do about the dismantling of their government when they already know. React to the coup the same way you generally react when one of your professional sports teams wins. If you'll put your body on the line and cause disruption for that then it should be easy to do it to save what you claim to hold so dear. image
There is no reason that any fan in 2025 doesn't understand the use of Native names & images is racist. Native dehumanization just takes a back seat to your entertainment. If you won't support your team if they #ChangeTheName then it's not the team you're a fan of. #TheTimelsNow
The perfect birthday gift would be a trip back from OKC. My ride woke up ill today. I have to be out by 5 PM. I can offer gas money, some giggles, and a Shoney's buffet if you can swoop me up and deposit me back on the Mvskoke Nation Reservation this afternoon/evening please.
