“Stevenson..would like to see a “critical evaluation” of the major institutions in Canada that have supported non-Indigenous scholars, writers and thought leaders who have claimed Indigenous identities.
She wonders why their stories have been "so compelling and convincing" to these institutions..”
Today @aclu-norcal.bsky.social and @eff.org filed a lawsuit on behalf of non-profit advocacy groups challenging San Jose’s warrantless searches as violating the California Constitution’s protections against unreasonable searches and right to privacy.

Been out of the SCOTUS opinion analysis for a min (baby). But this Gorsuch Dissent (joined by Thomas 😮) from cert. denial in Veneno v. US, which challenged the Major Crimes Act (a fed. law that allows feds. to prosecute crimes on Indian Reservations), is worth discussing/explaining for a sec. 🧵 1/8
Another Milestone for AICL's list! This is the first time School Library Journal has featured a Native writer on its cover. Here's Angeline Boulley (enrolled member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians): americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/p/milestones...
Cover of Nov 2025 issue of School Library Journal features photograph of Native writer, Angeline Boulley.
I think this may be the first time @slj.com has featured a Native writer on the cover. If anyone can recall a previous issue with a Native writer on the cover, let me know! Thanks.
I'll go ahead and say it. Texas book banners got their butts kicked in tonight's school board elections. Again.
Artist Georgia O'Keeffe ignored the Indigenous presence all around her in New Mexico. Now a new exhibition at the O'Keeffe Museum draws awareness to the ongoing presence of Tewa Peoples by presenting a group exhibition of Tewa artists.

🚨 Super exciting news…the new edition of the Bluebook has a brand new rule…
Rule 22 on how to cite materials from Tribal Nations!!!
A long overdue and welcome development. Tribal Law scholars, we have a lot to be proud of today.
Tribal Law and Tribal Nations are a little less invisible today.🫶🏽✊🏽
A new website illuminates the history of Indigenous enslavement in New England. Historians at Brown Univ. & tribal members from across the region are launching a project they hope will bring awareness to the enslavement of Indigenous people in North America.

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races.
And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards.
I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.
A federal judge agreed Thursday to temporarily block the Trump administration from taking any more steps to dismantle an agency that funds and promotes libraries across the U.S.
