  4. I'm calling today desperately seeking shirtless people day cuz I need to sell 23 shirts by midnight in order to honor the payment arrangement for my electric bill tomorrow. I have $120 in pending donations that haven't cleared, which leaves me $183 and some change short.

    Friends I need your help. My family & I are preparing to lay my cousin sister’s remains to rest. She was a direct target & example of Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women. Anything is appreciated & if you cant donate a share would help just as much 🙏🏼

    I have no words to explain what I am feeling right now, I’m numb. All I can say is please hold your loved ones close, especially if you‘re Native/Indigenous. I hope her story is seen as something that could‘ve been prevented if the authorities & media actually listened to us. 3/4

    My family and I are still in disbelief. Im sad & angry bc when my cousin Chantal (her sister) & I tried to alert the authorities & media she was missing we were silenced & no action was taken. Had we had the proper investigation & coverage I believe she’d still be here today. 2/4

    I’m breaking my silence. July 19th my cousin sister Julisa was stolen from us. We searched endlessly for 2 years, up until last week I still had hope she was still alive. We got a call about a mass grave where tons of remains were dumped in NM. The labs confirmed one was her..1/4

  10. It's devastating but then you have a choice, do you let your devastation be the reason you quit? do you ignore it and play their game for the sake of visibility and your own gain? Do you choose to leverage your tokenization to be a disruptor?

  11. Because you realize your work isn't valued, you aren't valued and you weren't given that platform or opportunity to raise awareness or create change......you're just a box they can check off their list to seem "woke" or to better their public image and seem diverse and inclusive.

  12. I can joke about it now that I know what's going on & I can leverage it to open opportunity for other Natives, especially our youth. But let me tell you, it's also so damn heartbreaking when you are passionate about your work, when you believe in your purpose & then get tokenized

  13. And you gain access to spaces that otherwise would not be welcoming to you because you are seen as non-threatening 🤣🤣🤣🤣 boy are they ever surprised when I open my mouth. I may be cute and cuddly but once I get that mic, the Brown Ball of Fury is unleashed 🤣

  14. This thread....as someone who is very visible, I can acknowledge that A is especially true because when you are seen as the "right" kind of Native, you get tokenized.

    If you're thinking, "I cannot align myself with [whoever the fuck], they are assholes," you don't have to start with the people who frustrate you the most. Very few people do. But at some point, we all need to organize w people we would never otherwise work or hang out with.

    So find your people and anchor yourself to them now. And start building solidarity and alignment like our lives all depend on it, because they do. I believe in our potential and I believe in the fight. If you don't have hope right now, that's okay. You can have some of mine. ❤️

    But we have to be willing to draw a line here and now. We have to say that an attack on any of us is an attack on every last one of us. To beat back fascism, we will have to be anchored to each other. Pass it on.

    I can't be disappointed by a system I never believed in. What I can be is disturbed by the reality that Trump's impunity has been officially affirmed. To everyone living in the margins, to the protest organizers & journalists who have dared to speak the truth: You are not alone.
