1. Elahe Mohammadi’s reporting on the funeral of Jina Mahsa Amini — which ignited the Woman, Life, Freedom uprisings — led to her being imprisoned by the regime for 17 months.
God only knows what she endured while in prison.
So I hope you’ll read her message below.

The defining moment of today’s hearing was when Justice Gorsuch asked the Solicitor General a simple, foundational question: “Are children of Native Americans birthright citizens?” After a painful silence the govt’s lead lawyer could only muster a hesitant “I think so.”

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️
It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
🚩 LAKOTA SACRED SITE IN DANGER!! 🚩
Pete Lien & Sons (PLS) are coming to destroy our culture and our history!
This morning, February 27th, 2026, the Black Hills National Forest issued a permit to drill for graphite at sacred site Pe’sla — despite community outcry to stop the project.
138 years ago today, Congress signed the Dawes Act into law. You may have never heard of it, but this law redrew the map of the United States.
Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level
The targeting of Native Americans by ICE is so widespread, tribal governments all over are responding. To protect tribal citizens from ICE raids, tribes are holding events to help citizens get updated IDs and even speeding up the printing and processing times.
New Rule:
Whenever a white person says they're living on "stolen land," they have to give $20 to the nearest Indian.
This applies on social media and IRL.

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:
“As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”
One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are.
It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is.
All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.
STATEMENT REGARDING DETENTION OF STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBE MEMBER IN MINNESOTA JANUARY 24, 2026 I was notified today, January 24, 2026, that a Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member has been detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Minnesota. Tribal leadership is actively working to locate the individual, gather accurate information, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities to secure their release. At this time, details surrounding the detention remain limited. I urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while this matter is being reviewed. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to advocate for the protection of our citizen's rights and will provide updates as appropriate.
ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month.
Statement from Standing Rock:
“Only hours have passed since they shot a man right in front me and I don't feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me. I don't know what the agents will do when they find me.”
Every Democratic member of Congress should be on a plane to Minneapolis right now to join the people protesting in the streets. Federal elected officials should physically place themselves between the public and these dangerous thugs sent to terrorize this American city.
sitting here trying to think why this is so heavy on my heart.
but. my grandparents survived a genocide that most people don’t know about, that many deny.
we have a duty to bear witness and tell the history. we are future ancestors. we have to know the story.
This.

It’s astonishing to me when I see Native people defending what this administration is doing. They would not hesitate for one moment, to deliver this cruelty to you, too. In fact, our peoples are ones that should be the most familiar with this history, since it’s been that way since first contact.
So my tribe’s reservation is preparing for ICE to invade… think about that… a RESERVATION.
Things are pretty fucked up when Native Tribes are telling their citizens to carry multiple forms of identification 🪪 make sure they are not detained by ICE.
My friends local to Minnesota, whom I trust a great deal, would like to share the following resources that could use support.

Why the Lakota Nation should still have legal title to the unceded lands defined in the 1868 treaty, which include North Dakota south of the Heart River and the Powder River Valley.
Actually, still has, even though politically, that is not acknowledged.
god, there’s apparently ICE agents in Bemidji, in northern MN. Bemidji is between my reservation and two others. there is very little diversity besides the Indigenous population.
truly terrifying with how vulnerable Native women especially already are.
Native Americans are getting caught up in Trump’s racist goon squad invasion…
ANDING ROCK Standing Rock Sioux Tribe The Office of Chairman Sitting Bear P.O. BOx D Fort Yates, ND 58538 CHAIRMAN SITTING BEAR'S STATEMENT REGARDING SRST PUBLIC SAFETY JANUARY 9, 2026 I have been receiving reports and evidence of First Nations people being racially targeted, assaulted, and detained by the federal agency Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). We want to remind our members to be safe and proactive by carrying with you at a minimum your tribal identification cards or a copy of your degree of Indian Blood. Our tribal identification affirms our citizenship and political status. Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands. Any federal activity within our boundaries must recognize and respect our tribal sovereignty, treaty obligations, and established jurisdictional boundaries. Any ICE presence or activity within our lands is not authorized, not welcome, and will be addressed. Unauthorized personnel will be escorted off our lands.
Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.
This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:
“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”
This day - January 6th, 2021 - should've been the end of it. But rather than respect the American voters' will, the kooky far-right instigated a terrorist assault against the United States Capitol building.
Our democracy will heal from the damage this movement caused - but it'll take time. 🇺🇸
noem called renee good a "domestic terrorist".
they first called Native people "domestic terrorists," including all those involved with the Dakota No Access Pipeline.
it's finding you now. Native people have spoken. the tools are out there. go.
A gift as the seasons turn back to the sun. Please read my story, “Carrying the Light: A Winter Solstice Tale”, included in this amazing end-of-year edition of “The Game”, w/Editorial Director Kevin Powell. I’d be honored if you shared with your networks.
