The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans.

Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

'Stop playing nice!' AOC mad at Dem colleagues refusing to 'block everything' in Congress Hours after Democratic lawmakers warned that billionaire Elon Musk's takeover of federal agencies is "what the beginning of dictatorship looks like," expressed outrage at being barred from entering th...

"No Democrat should be voting to advance Trump's nominees while all of this stuff is going on," AOC said. “There has to be a political price to pay and we have a responsibility as a party to block everything that is happening while they're setting a literal mash to the federal government."

Print “Know Your Rights” cards and leave them in coffee shops, restaurants, corner stores. Here is a good example: www.ilrc.org/sites/defaul...

I’m following @aoc.bsky.social ‘s call to action and you should too. Call your senator. Even if they are a Democrat. Call them and tell them not to confirm any more of Trump’s picks until Elon stops stripping our government. Don’t get overwhelmed. We need to stay engaged.

My heart hurts for all the patients on federally funded clinical trials who don’t know if they will be able to access treatment. This is cruel.

Haha I had no idea this was such a controversial stance! But makes sense why people have been putting poop in our can since it seems like most other people don’t mind. Our HOA makes us put our garbage can in the garage so it sits in there and builds up stink power with all of our other garbage.

It makes my garage smell like dog poop :( and garbage only gets picked up every two weeks. We have a small place so our garage has our stroller and food storage so we have to smell dog poop every time we go for a walk or grab something for dinner.

Jokic with only 4 shots somehow feels familiar and comforting. He doesn’t have to be otherworldly tonight for the nuggets to be competitive.

“When you look at these large cohorts of cancer patients, it’s very rare that Native Americans are included.”

Increasing access to high quality cancer care while upholding Tribal sovereignty will change this.

Sand Creek: Healing and history come together | John Moore Control Group’s three-year collaboration with Cinnamon Kills First culminated in an emotional, educational bus ride revisiting Colorado's darkest day

Wifey co-created this immersive theatre project about the US Army murdering and mutilating 500 peaceful Cheyenne and Arapahoe people at Sand Creek. Indigenous folks feel this history today and colonizers need to as well so we all can heal.
