Well UC Riverside finally let her go, but pretendian Andrea Smith will teach for one more year, have her legal fees covered & gets to “retire” with full benefits package. She’s being rewarded for being a fraud & for the heinous act of claiming she’s a descendant of genocide.

I had an anti-Native racist experience with a TSA agent 12 days ago. I filed a complaint at the airport & online. I still haven't received any followup. All during #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth at that. Good to know we can't even safely fly in our own lands.

I placed a large order with ELOQUII and the quality of the items is horrendous. I've tried emailing and calling to get help with a return. Because no one responds to me and their phone line hours are limited they're now refusing a return. Don't shop here!

All of this to protect a genocidal war criminal. Maybe they should have taken these measures when there was an actual insurrection, but then again, we know some of those fascist 🐽 are insurrectionists.

Activists disrupted the AAPD’s anniversary of ADA celebration that was also live streamed for the public. Once they got on the stage and shared the demands, AAPD cut the livestream audio, ASL, and captioning for virtual participants. More info in 🧵 #DisabilityDivest
