Proud to announce the release of our new project, AMERICAN GENOCIDE, a gripping true crime podcast about the dark history of Native boarding schools and the trauma they've left upon Native communities. Now streaming wherever podcasts are found. #AmericanGenocidePodcast

"What happened in these schools is one of the biggest root causes of the intergenerational trauma that affects Native peoples today," Crystal EchoHawk tells People. "This is cultural genocide." #AmericanGenocidePodcast

Tonight’s topics of conversation raised by my 9-year-old son in the past half hour as I cooked dinner: Obama family pets, theft of Indigenous land by the United States, women on the US Supreme Court (past & present), and probably a few others I’m forgetting. Yay curious minds!❤️

Unfortunately missing this week's #PeaceCon2023 with the great team Alliance for Peacebuilding but I hope and expect there will be great energy at sessions like the one my friends at Conciliation Resources will lead tomorrow!

Excellent piece by Jonathan Cohen Conciliation Resources on the need to invest in peacebuilding at a time of rising violent conflict and military expenditure: War is everywhere, so why are G7 leaders not investing in peace? aje.io/obo04i via Al Jazeera English

This is great, Nexus Community Partners! Looking forward to seeing this effort thrive, and I hope the lessons will be shared far and wide. And that other funders will listen, learn, and respond accordingly!

Today the #SCOTUS upheld the Indian Child Welfare Act in an opinion authored by Justice Barrett. Much of the fight has been left for another day--in that #SCOTUS declined to reach some of the thorniest issues. But ICWA survives. So much to learn here. supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf…

“There is not a Native American in this country that has not been impacted by #IndianBoardingSchools,” @iIlluminative’s Crystal EchoHawk (Pawnee) tells Anthony Padilla. Our #AmericanGenocidePodcast investigates the abuse & ongoing legacy: lluminative.org/americangenoci…

Okay All Things Considered, glad you had a story on the FIFA Women's World Cup but did it really need to be about the male coach instead of one or more of the incredible women on the team??? 🤯

In June, Republican lawmakers in Maine’s Senate defeated a measure that would have required background checks on all gun sales, as well as a bill that would have required a 72-hour waiting period to buy a gun. pressherald.com/2023/06/15/mai…

Look, Trump is trying to oversaturate us with nonstop chaos so we can’t react meaningfully to any one thing. But Friday's global stop work order on almost all U.S. aid is dumb and murderous. You need to know about it. 1/ A short🧵on this evil. cnn.com/2025/01/24/pol…

1/ Let me explain why the total destruction of USAID - happening as we speak - matters so much. China - where Musk makes his money - wants USAID destroyed. So does Russia. Trump and Musk are doing the bidding of Beijing and Moscow. Why? apnews.com/article/trump-…

What is happening to USAID will cost untold lives around the world, devastate America's standing, and massively empower China and other countries. There's no excusing it - it's a shameful, stupid, self-own without excuse and a harbinger of even worse to come.

The state of play, a week into Elon's assault on USAID. USAID is in a state of suspended animation - it has been powered down, but it's not *quite* to the point where it can't be powered back on. What happens next comes down to the courts & Congress. 🧵
