Thanks to @mapember for joining us to discuss her new book, which exposes the lasting trauma caused by the forced assimilation and abuse of hundreds of thousands of Native children. Her mom was sent to a boarding school at age 5. Listen here: kalw.org/show/your-call/2026…

This is Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, honoring a veteran he cared for at a VA hospital. The son of the deceased veteran just posted this video on Facebook with the following message: “RIP Alex Pretti, he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’ sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to ‘fight the good fight’”

The Oglala Lakota Nation has unanimously voted to ban ICE from the Pine Ridge reservation. They surely won't be alone in doing so.
