Reading @chidesignoffice's expose of India's complex entanglements with nationalism, architecture, and the desire for political legacy while in Delhi makes the reconstruction of the Central Vista into a memorial for the BJP even more infuriating. placesjournal.org/article/ar…

Nearly 250 years ago today, white slavers called the original nations of this continent “merciless Indian Savages” in their Declaration of Independence. The counter-revolution of property on our lands began while they also declared “all men are created equal.”

SCOTUS achieved today what white supremacists tried with termination: “Indian country is part of the State, not separate from the State… as a matter of state sovereignty, a State has jurisdiction over all of its territory, including Indian country.” supremecourt.gov/opinions/21…

If you want to understand how the Supreme Court rules on politics rather than the law look no further than the arena of Federal Indian Law. Today #SCOTUS changed who has criminal jurisdiction on over 300 reservations not based on precedent or even the facts on the ground…

Reproductive justice is about bodily autonomy, which is necessarily about one's ability to define and freely live/perform one's gendered and sexual life without state regulation. This includes terminating pregnancy, transitioning, and marriage.

If history has taught us anything, it is that poor, Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people will suffer the most from Roe v. Wade being overturned. We must name that.

Sending a little extra love today to the trans men and non-binary people whose rights to abortion were also taken away today but who keep getting left out of the conversation.

Roe. Miranda. Gun control. Church and State. All dismantled in a single week. The single worst week for civil rights and liberties in decades.

Setup abortion clinics on Indian reservations. Whereas, sovereign nations, Supreme Court decisions, like overturning Roe V Wade — DO NOT APPLY.

You can never ban abortion, you can only ban safe abortions. Read that again.

The Supreme Court is packed with political apparatchiks hacking away at basic human rights. Imagine if working class people were the judges of their own lives and healthcare not the lackeys of ruling elites.
