I don't think nearly enough attention has been given to how amazing astronaut Jeremy Hansen's mission patch is.
Designed by Henry Guimond of Sagkeeng First Nation in Manitoba.

I chose the butterfly (Tvffolopv, Duf-fol-obuh in Mvskoke) to highlight in this years Pride collection because it symbolizes rebirth and transformation. Like every living thing, human beings grow and change. It is the natural way of things. Two-Spirit, trans, and nonbinary people are essential to our communities; likewise butterflies and other pollinators are essential to their ecosystems.

"The #US crackdown on #migration from #Mexico has destroyed a sacred site shared by both countries. According to reports from residents in #BajaCalifornia... explosions were heard last weekend on #CuchumáHill as part of construction work on the #borderWall. The explosives were used by US personnel. According to the reports, a 35-meter-tall monolith, carved and considered sacred by #Indigenous people in the region, has been damaged"
New Mexico, former interior secretary Deb Haaland secured the Democratic nomination for governor. She is likely to win the general in the blue-leaning state and would become the country’s first female Native American governor.

« L'entretien s'articule autour de la disparition, en septembre 2008, de deux adolescentes de la nation anishnabée, Maisy Odjick et Shannon Alexander. #EmmanuelleWalter nous raconte comment son enquête sur ce fait divers l'a menée à analyser une réalité beaucoup plus vaste, celle d'un système où les #femmesAutochtones sont statistiquement beaucoup plus exposées à la violence que le reste de la population. »

"Why Native Americans Wear Red and March on May 5th "
https://nativenewsonline.net/health/why-native-americans-wear-red-and-march-on-may-5th/
"While many Americans spend May 5 celebrating Cinco de Mayo, a day that commemorates the Mexican army’s unexpected victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, Native Americans and their allies across Indian Country will spend May 5 wearing red shirts to commemorate Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP) Awareness Day."
Remember that pumped hydro project sited on a Yakama sacred site? The one the developer said would power 500K Oregon and Washington homes?? The one that was supposedly critical to meeting WA's renewable energy goals???
JK it's actually for a data center. Green colonialism has been a scam all along.

"Oregon gets its first California condor visit in 122 years"
https://www.opb.org/article/2026/06/02/oregon-first-california-condor-visit-122-years/
"A California condor flew into Oregon last month, becoming the first free-flying condor documented in the state since 1904.
Condor B9, a little more than two years old, was released into the wild last year by the Yurok Tribe’s condor restoration program. The tribe has been releasing condors since 2022."

"#TheCherokeeWarOf1776 recasts America's founding moment by tracing the importance of westward ambition and #settlerViolence to the origins of the Revolutionary War. In this gripping and sobering book, historian #KevinKokomoor uncovers the rarely acknowledged war waged by the emerging United States against the #Cherokee people just days after the Declaration of Independence was signed."

NEW: Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.

In 2023, New Mexico’s AG ordered an investigation into one school district after ProPublica and New Mexico In Depth revealed Native students were expelled more often than any other group.
The investigation confirmed “substantial racial disparities.”

NEWLY PUBLISHED BOOK TO READ
My latest book - THE WILD - takes the view that "anarchy", often extrapolated in and through the historical, socially-derived politics of anarchism, should instead be characterized on a naturalistic and queer basis as "the wild" (in much the same way as Kropotkin observed nature and came up with the principle of "mutual aid" in fact).
Through thirteen chapters this idea is then teased out, explained and extrapolated as something both ethical and political that is contrary to patriarchal, capitalist, industrial and technological human civilization as it has developed.
As such, this book is both a call to the wild (and to the truth and reality of the wild) and to the assertion that in feralness there is an authenticity of the mutual co-existence of all things to be found.
The book can be downloaded FOR FREE from the link below in multiple formats or read online. It can also be read to you via text to speech on that page.

New from Candice Bernd: “If you’re waiving the Clean Air Act, or the Clean Water Act, or the Antiquities Act, you’re actually going after … what this religion and its artifacts, and its antiquities, and its church are truly about.” https://www.texasobserver.org/indigenous-group-sues-big-bend-border-wall/
"This year’s Report: Violence Against Indigenous Peoples in Brazil, covering data from 2025 and published by the Indigenist Missionary Council (Cimi), reveals that this context of uncertainty resulted in attacks against Indigenous Peoples in their struggles for land, in vulnerability of deterritorialized groups, and in the continuity of the invasions in Indigenous Lands throughout the country."
"On the very first days of 2025, four Avá-Guarani were shot during and armed attack against their community in the Indigenous Land Tekoha Guasu Guavirá, an area in process of state recognition under intense conflict in the state of Paraná. One of the victims, shot in the spine, lost the movements of his legs. In March, a Pataxó man named Vitor Braz was murdered in the Indigenous Land Barra Velha do Monte Pascoal, in the state of Bahia, amongst the Pataxós’ struggle for the demarcation of their lands. In November, Vicente Fernandes, a Guarani Kaiowá, was also assassinated in Tekoha Pyelito Kue, in the Indigenous Lands Iguatemipegua I, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, also in a context of territorial conflicts."
