"“Merciless Indian Savages”: Cherokee Podcaster on Racist Slur in the Declaration of Independence (video) Ahead of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July Fourth, we speak to award-winning Cherokee author and journalist Rebecca Nagle about what’s missing from the conventional story of the American Revolution. “The last grievance in the Declaration of Independence is about 'merciless Indian savages,'” says Rebecca Nagle. “According to our founders, in their own words, the thing that they were most angry about was Native people.” She also argues that the “biggest myth” is that the founders built a democracy, “because they also built an empire,” and that the two can’t coexist. Nagle partnered with leading Indigenous scholars on a new documentary podcast called First America. The series challenges the conventional U.S. origin story by examining the experiences of Indigenous peoples, and traces how laws and legal doctrines first used to dispossess Indigenous nations continue to impact questions of executive power, immigration, xenophobia, citizenship, territorial expansion and U.S. foreign policy today." 1/2 https://www.democracynow.org/2026/6/30/rebecca_nagle_first_america #usa #native #indigenous #ICE #ReneGood

FYI: Referring to Native Nations as tribes is a colonizer method to minimize and delegitimize Native sovereignty, and continue paper genocide to erase the Native peoples. Takeaway: Refer to Native Nations as exactly what they are, Native Nations, Indigenous Nations, First Nations, etc. Always Nation not tribe. Regardless of who/what ever you see referring to tribes. #Native #Indigenous

1/ Living on social security is hard, but spreadsheets manage to get me through it. I can't even remember the last time I had math impossibilities but it finally happened. Unexpected hospital/doctor copays & unexpected veterinarian expenses (I had applied for cat approval in my building but it came at an unexpected time.) I really need $1000 to fix the mathematical impossibilities but $500 will get me out of the danger zone. #Native #Indigenous #SettlerSaturday #IndigenousMutualAid #MutualAid

Help with #NativeVisibility #IndigenousVisibility is ultra-important. Follow us, boost us, patronise our businesses, buy our art, listen to our music, watch our movies and tv shows, and by ‘our’ I mean things actually produced by Native and Indigenous people. Abandon the stereotypes and white pandering voices, stop what I call Lakotaman’ing. We’re modern people! #Native #Indigenous #BIPOC

#German persons on #mastodon, can you give me an opinion about the #afd. I dont really understand it, or get it, or why its even a thing. (feel free to use #native language, I am fairly fluent in German personally). Hallo an alle Deutschen auf Mastodon! Könnt ihr mir eure Meinung zur AfD sagen? Ich verstehe sie nicht wirklich, kapiere nicht, warum es sie überhaupt gibt. (Ihr könnt gerne in eurer Muttersprache schreiben, ich spreche selbst ziemlich fließend Deutsch.)
