CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

I've been saying this for *decades*. So glad to see that someone is finally taking on this issue. There's a related issue for commercial properties, but that's a different fight for a different day. Thank you, @SentatorWarnock
Private equity is turning would be buyers into renters. We need to end tax loopholes that let large companies buy up homes. At the same time, we need to make it easier to build and help people save for their first down payment.

Similarly, to tell an honest, truthful story about boarding schools that's age-appropriate for a #PBSkids audience? That takes real craft plus deep truth, which you only get with an authentic writers room. Kudos, @ArcticDaazhraii & #MollyofDenali team.

When Native artists tell the story, it's more nuanced, more truthful. Blossom's play is so deeply layered, so masterfully crafted, we can celebrate the main characters' exuberance while still honoring the pain of the past. It's talent plus craft plus lived experience.

Producing a #newplay of joy by @AsdzaNeezBitsoi that celebrates the dreams of Native girls makes me want to share this brilliant episode of Molly of Denali, written & produced by Native creatives, in honor of #OrangeShirtDay: https://t.co/YfQl8YAqiZ

This is one of the books we recommend in the program for #newplay #DinéNishłį (i am a sacred being) Or, A Boarding School Play (we invite evening audiences to cheer, hoot, holler, applaud, but to refrain from whistling) #NativeTheatre #NativeRepresentationMatters

I’m on the Fort Belknap Reservation today where community members are welcoming home three children who died while at Carlisle Indian Industrial School in the late 1800s — Bishop L. Shields, 17, Almeda Heavy Hair, 16, and John Bull, 16. #mtnews

Diné activist Allie Young is leading a six-stop trail ride to bring voter registration to communities where voting can often mean hours of travel. Young’s Ride to the Polls initiative, “Saddle Up For Change,” is about more than casting ballots. Navajo Times | Nicholas House

Post affirmative action, the already abysmal numbers of Native students at some elite colleges have plummeted even further. At Harvard, Native enrollment fell by half. At Princeton it fell from less than 1% to 0.1% of admitted students from the class of 2027 to the class of 2028.

One of my favorite parts of working on a #newplay is exploring new-to-me music. Today's band: With War, fronted by a #Diné woman. https://t.co/4YgvXXuuMS

Native creatives didn't take home any Emmys tonight and that sucks. On the plus side, this was a record year for Natives being nominated for Emmys! Emmy nominations show the industry that we’re “vetted talent” which is hugely helpful in getting Native stories onscreen. 🧵

"when non-Native people tell our stories — even those that may be well-intentioned — there’s a high risk that these stories will ultimately diminish Native autonomy or further stereotypes of our communities" #insteadofredface #RepresentationMatters #NativeTheaterProject
Congrats to @RezDogsFX for its multiple #Emmy noms! In a study w @illuminative we found that Native representation in front of and behind the camera led to more nuanced stories that challenged stereotypes, fostering greater support for Native rights. https://t.co/e8zo8sVRrr

Don't wait – check your state's voter registration deadline today and make sure you're registered and ready to vote. And then share this with your friends and family so everyone's ready to vote early or by Election Day. https://t.co/jKW0RyeBXC
