It’s climate change. Name it. We are going to be in a constant state of emergency from now on as a world. What you’re seeing here in Canada, with infernos burning out of control- just the beginning. AND Indigenous communities pay the greatest price with Native lands/livelihoods.

Politics aside, I’m so freakin proud of @WabKinew Him rising to this high position of leadership will be a hope and inspiration to so many Native youth who will see themselves represented in him. Wab also takes reconciliation seriously. He’s got a lot of work ahead, but it’s good.

I’m taking a moment to fucking cry. And that’s ok. Journalists are not robots. Fuck that. This is real life, real human beings we tell the stories of. And we are decolonizing media!!! This is hard (always) and it sucks. But powerful prayers hold me up & I stand in that â€ïžđŸ™đŸŸâ€ïž xo.

My latest w @ricochet_en .Canada, the 51st state? ‘Over our dead bodies,’ say Indigenous leaders .First Nations aren’t taking Trump’s comments lightly, and say they have both international law and economic leverage on their side.

Today I experienced +49c temperature for the first time while in Kamloops. It was literally dangerous to be outside. It’s hard to breathe and feels like you’re in a sauna. This is what we have to look forward to with climate change. Wake up call. I’m praying for our children 😞.
