Hey Fediverse, could y'all stop being so polite about the Neo Nazi Terrorist Thugs in charge of the government? Call them what they are, Neo Nazi Terrorist Thugs.

Stop litigating the last election too, and get your thumbs outta your asses, turn off your game streams, and build community now, or you'll be left alone when the dust settles.

This summer may be the very last chance to salvage any vestige of supposed "freedom" this country was supposed to be about. LIVE FREE OR DIE! #LANDBACK

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed Senate Bill 867, authorizing the state Department of Natural Resources to transfer the 1,500-acre park. The transfer follows a 130-acre trust acquisition in 2024 that made the Prairie Band the first federally recognized tribe in Illinois. The acreage in question marked a portion of the tribe’s original reservation, which was sold to private owners in 1849.

This is how I feel. I am not a democrat, liberal, socialist or any other colonial political or economic design.

#LandBack to me means exactly that - LandBack to the Native Nations. #Decolonization means LandBack and full non-custodial Native Nation #Sovereignty - which is a win-win for everyone in reality.

Colonial systems, different or new politicians and even eternal voting will never fix or reform colonial systems. It is designed that way.

We did visit the clown museum! It was exciting, provocative, and worth visiting again ✨

My art practice is continuing. Top piece is 4 weeks old and still unfolding.

My dad is committed to learning more about effigy mounds! He saw first hand that preservation, public stewardship, and advocacy are essential and foundational. #Landback
