Just a heads up, anyone telling Black and other People of Colour not to run from violent nazis intent on kidnapping and falsely imprisoning them in inhumane conditions in for profit concentrations camps is not for the people. They're for the system.

So let me get this straight, Crunchyroll is basically strong arming the industry by licensing most anime, they’re under fire for not paying fair wages to translators, translations are getting sloppy with the fear of AI subs lurking. And now this? Aye man, aye lol

Not only does Netflix not platform older films, because WB has been erasing their own projects to avoid paying residuals, there's going to be a negative financial ripple effect to actors and production crews with this acquisition b/c Netflix doesn't pay residuals either.

This is how they plan on eliminating us, by making it impossible for us to have jobs, to speak out, to even access public spaces or travel at all We are being stripped of our right to exist the way any other person does

and guess which one is free

the fbi tried to turn this man into an informant and when he wouldn’t spy on his community for them they had ice kidnap him. this country is irredeemable

Netflix is phrasing it like it's a done deal - but confirmation/approval doesn't happen until end of 2026 or early 2027. This is called "manufacturing consent". They want to avoid giving people a chance to process this, and they're pushing a narrative that everything is fine and

I hope this helps you with your journey, wherever you are. I hope this helps you in your decision about community and Indigeneity. Remember, at the very end, settl*r colon*zation is the enemy. Those withholding life saving ancestry documents are the enemy (they are out there).

10. My message for connected Natives: STOP PRETEND*AN HUNTING PEOPLE NOT OF YOUR TRIBE! Respect other tribe's sovereignty by NOT ENGAGING in their reconnecting conversations. Igniting doubt and anger and then leaving with no proper protocol IS NOT acting in communit or medicine.

9. My message for reconnecting and detribalized people (contin): your path is hard because those who came before you abused their identity & weaponized their journey against us Natives. Regardless of your journey's end, your relationship w/ Natives should be in good spirits

8. My message for reconnecting and detribalized people (contin): Redface is r*cism! Do not dress in regalia if you do not know where you truly come from. Amongst us connected Natives, wearing traditional regalia is honorable. It's not a prop or costume. We Natives know if you do.

7. My message for reconnecting and detribalized people (contin): opportunities tied to $$$ are for connected Natives only! There's nothing wrong in referring us to those opportunities. There is wrong in taking and not knowing for sure who and where you come from. We Natives know.

6. My message for reconnecting and detribalized people: your journey has a destination. Reconnecting and detribalized should NOT be a life long identity. This is how you start raising flags. There's nothing wrong with admitting you're not Native. You are wrong if u know u aren't

5. This is why we traditional and connected Natives say "learn your language." The language has history and heritage. It's not just a hash tag or a slogan. We connected people are LISTENING to how you move with your heritage. We know in a second if you really are one of us.

4. This is also why internalized anti-Native sentiments hurt YOUR future children's identity. Because you're children are going to rely on YOUR oratory heritage to go out into community and cross check with others (traditional introduction practices). This way, COMMUNITY claims u

3. Oral ancestry and closed practices are our safest bet. This is why putting these closed practices ONLINE are a danger to our AmerIndigenous heritage. I'm not saying abandon them. I'm saying do these practices on the rez, in powwows, in closed cultural circles.

2. are NOT reliable source of reconnecting journeys NOR reclamation practices. I think tribal companies need to start their own DNA testing/ancestry banks and hold it in trust/make the people it's true owners (not tribal governments). But this too gets tricky and full of issues.

1. due to traditions and appropriate warnings of these companies, DNA tests are HIGHLY RELIABLE for the AmerIndigenous communities at large. There are other unethical practices DNA testing and the blood bank corporations have that we can get into BUT BOTTOM LINE, DNA companies..

DNA tests DO NOT determine Indigenous ancestry. This is my stance on DNA testing and Indigeneity. What they DO determine is if you're DNA has the same genetic markers as THE COMPANY'S tested population. With more and more Natives being mixed and full-bloods not being tested...
