white people lose one election & they want to leave the country. How do you think Indigenous ppl feel about all the depraved atrocities happening on our own lands? We don’t have the luxury of going anywhere.
Ruby Solly retweeted
While many are talking about losing hope or moving to other countries, Native people have survived under U.S. government leaders that wanted us dead since the very beginning. This is still Native land, and will always be Native land. We never had the luxury to stop fighting.

This right here is a perfect encapsulation of why the Democrats lost - alienating their own base, attacking their critics and have no sense of connection to the pulse of ordinary voters.
The far left didn’t alienate voters. The Democrats did.
Donald Trump has no greater friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Jews from the Democratic Party with absurdities like “Defund the Police” or “From the River to the Sea” or “Latinx.”
There is more to lose than there is to gain politically from pandering to a far left that is more representative of Twitter, Twitch, and TikTok than it is of the real world. The working class is not buying the ivory-towered nonsense that the far left is selling.

Dear "progressive Americans".
Stay put. You've been using colonial privilege to run away from your problems for 500 years, and the Pacific is sick of being your escape fantasy.
The true progressive move right now is to humbly commit to decolonising WHERE YOU ARE.

putting this in my back pocket: "I need you to know I didn’t see you. But not that I don’t see you. You are part of why I’m screaming back in the face of this, instead of lying down and not getting back up."

She just referred to Elizabeth Rata to review the curriculum... National seem intent on finding the most toxic anti-Māori advisors possible.
Note to racists. Elizabeth Rata is not Māori.
As Prof. Papaarangi Reid advises, 'ethnicity is not sexually transmitted'.
