Oglala Lakota journalist @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social and Ojibway clinician and artist @juliefrancella.com describe Mullin as a “Custer Scout.” Spot-on take, IMHO.
Worthwhile listening from an Indigenous perspective, via @johnfugelsang.bsky.social:

Last night on TME, @juliefrancella.com spoke with @johnfugelsang.bsky.social about how Indigenous perspectives have influenced feminist movements in Western culture.
Ironically, most white people who claim to be part Cherokee actually aren't (and why is it always Cherokee?).
I recommend @juliefrancella.com and @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social who are indigenous writers/activists with a weekly segment on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social's radio show/podcast.
Eye opening.
We’re Still Here with Simon and Julie
Tonight at 10 PM ET @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social & I will be joining @johnfugelsang.bsky.social on SiriusXM Ch. 127.
We’ll be talking about Kristi Noem’s possible replacement Markwayne Mullin & what it means.
Tune in & call in if you want to join the conversation.
📻 SiriusXM Ch. 127
🕙 10 PM ET
Tom Tillis has been DESTROYING Noem for the last five minutes.
A small tan-and-white long-haired Chihuahua is being held upright in my daughter’s hands in front of a computer monitor. The dog has very large, round dark eyes and a slightly mischievous expression. On the screen behind it is a Google image search showing actor Bill Skarsgård smiling during a Conan interview, creating a humorous visual comparison between the dog’s intense gaze and the actor’s well-known grin.
My daughter sent me this and said this dog looks like Bill Skarsgård and now I can’t unsee it.
Tell me this isn’t the “I can play Pennywise but I also want a treat” face. 🐶🎈
If you missed our weekly segment "We're Still Here" last week on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social 's SiriusXM show, you can catch it here free as a podcast.
@simonmoyasmith.bsky.social and I dive into The People vs. AI, forced sterilization of Native women, & a whole lot more

I have been there many times, and I am actually in the process of negotiating working on some projects with the Museum of the American Indian. A dear friend of mine works there. He is Taino.
There’s a character America loves more than it has ever loved actual Indigenous people: the Hollywood Indian.
In my new Substack, I break down how this myth was built, what it’s doing right now, & why Reel Injun is required viewing.

Screenshot of a text post on a light gray background with black font. It reads: “My daughters are adults now, but when they were younger & living at home with me, our house operated under Tolkien law. If I needed help with groceries, I’d simply declare, ‘Gondor calls for aid.’ Whoever answered, ‘And Rohan will answer,’ was my favorite child for the day. And when it was time to leave the house, I didn’t say, ‘Let’s go.’ I’d stand at the door & announce, ‘Ready the horses.’ We were climbing into a Ford Escape. But spiritually? War steeds.” A small horse emoji appears at the end.

True story
For modern voices about indigenous issues check out @juliefrancella.com and @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social, who join the @johnfugelsang.bsky.social SiriusXm show each Thursday. It's also available on his podcast the next day. Julie also has a substack. Between them and Eddie I've learned a lot. Thanks.
We actually talked about this exact reframing a few years ago on the show.

I invite you to the must-read piece by @juliefrancella.com on indigenous genocide through forced sterilization in US and Canada. TY Julie!
Believe and honor women. The fight is real.
Realize we’re conditioned to not believe. But our hearts yearn for change.

This Anthropic–Pentagon standoff deserves way more attention.
We’re standing at a dangerous intersection. And decisions being made right now will shape what kind of future we’re living in.

Friday raindrops stitched into the branches like tiny beads of light.
Have the courage to go first, and then light a fire so that those who need to, can find their path.
