In light of the draft of a leaked majority Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, I want to call your attention to the people that would be impacted most by the end of legalized abortion across the United States. 🧵:

Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.

Still thinking about shaandiin and Rayka Zehtabchi's documentary short LONG LINE OF LADIES. Maybe the best thing I've seen this year. Hoping there's a place to watch for folks on the internet sometime soon. vimeo.com/655221861

For CNN Style, I profiled shaandiin on her most recent film, co-directed with Rayka Zehtabchi, LONG LINE OF LADIES. Their incredible short doc won the Grand Jury Prize at SXSW and is currently playing in The Sundance Institute’s Indigenous Shorts Tour. cnn.com/style/article/…

kick off Native American Heritage Month by watching ⁦shaandiin⁩ + ⁦Rayka Zehtabchi⁩’s LONG LINE OF LADIES, an incredible and beautiful film celebrating an Indigenous history, present, and future. check it out on ⁦The New York Times⁩ Op-Docs! nytco.com/press/sxsw-win…

There’s a historical lack of representation and celebration around periods. The Op-Doc ā€œLong Line of Ladiesā€ captures a Karuk coming-of-age ceremony where it’s celebrated, not stigmatized. nyti.ms/3FHn0z8

Hollywood is in disarray amid mass firings and fears of the future. The big take-aways in the trades seem to be that people need to be making smaller more thoughtfully crafted movies for audiences. Welcome to the party, pal.
