... supporting cultural preservation in Indian Country to counteract the attempt these schools made to eradicate Indigenous cultures, and ensuring history does not whitewash this era by glossing over the ugly history of this program. (3/3)

These people are giving the game away. They want to create a world in which no one has the desire to read, create or think, and eventually no one has the capacity to. Reading, critical thinking, the humanities, are never wastes of time; they are what make us free.

Notable to me that every for-profit information hub is injecting AI into every corner of their services while the largest nonprofit information hub is fighting it off like their the Night's Watch

*heavy sigh* How am I expected to circle back on emails when the salmon are running and the leaves are changing and the trails are out there and it is peak fall weather?

I have made it one of my top priorities to help tell the story of the trauma of federal Indian boarding school policies with Indigenous voices front and center. On this National Day of Remembrance, we reaffirm our promise to let survivors' voices be heard. doi.gov/priorities/strengthe…

Whether talking about police violence, climate change, homelessness, or genocide, a key form of propaganda is that the most powerful institutions in the world—who are directly causing and profiting from horrific stuff—really want to make things better but just can’t.

For more, check out my latest @TeenVogue column on mask bans and how they are the new ugly laws

IMPORTANT: Every time a politician introduces a mask ban, they always claim there will be health exceptions.

It’s the funniest thing in the world that schools are cracking down on political speech without bothering to take any of this stuff off their websites.
New faculty guidelines from Barnard College at Columbia University. Professors are not allowed to post signs on their door "that support a geopolitical view or perspective". When talking about "geopolitical views or perspectives", faculty must talk about both sides.

My alma mater, @BarnardCollege, has not only abandoned a commitment to academic freedom, it has signed up to be part of the McCarthy-ite thought police. Tragically, this post would get me disciplined at @BarnardCollege.
