“You and Julie get paid beaucoup bucks for being on SiriusXM.”
No, we don’t. In fact, we pay for our subscriptions. I recently lost my credit card and failed to update my SiriusXM account. So, I got this:
Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen with the Ojibway designed mission patch
Tonight at 10 PM ET on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social 's SiriusXM show ch 127, @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social & I are talking about the Ojibway-designed patch Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen brought into space.
And YES, Bigfoot is on that patch.
There’s a reason for that.
Tune in & find out why!🚀🌕
Bugs, I’m your student. Thank you.🙏🏽
Dr. Tracy, I stand corrected. ♥️
“A whole civilization will die tonight” is so 1492 energy.
White people, you have made the deadliest society.
But, you can also unmake it.
Mexicans speak Spanish because the Spaniards invaded from the south.
Americans speak English because the English invaded from the east.
Canadians speak French because the French invaded deep into the north.
Alas, we Indigenous peoples continue to speak our ancient languages born of *this* soil.
“He’s at the bottom of the totem pole.” Here’s another illogical idiom. If you chop off the top of a tree, the tree will heal & go on growing. But, if you chop at the bottom, the tree will fall. The strongest, most important part of a totem is the bottom. Strength comes from the bottom, not the top.

Tonight at 10pm ET @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social & I are back on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social ‘s SiriusXM show.
Birthright citizenship, a proposed highway through the Gila River Indian Community named after Charlie Kirk, & Stacey Abrams backing Deb Haaland.
Call in — we want to hear from you.
Gorsuch follows up: "Do you think Native Americans today are birthright citizens under your test?" SG says no. Gorsuch responds that because his test is domicile of the parents, so why not? Wouldn't tribal Indians domiciled in the US be birthright citizens?
The SG SAYS YES, THEY PROBABLY WOULD BE.
I’ve seen you on Instagram. You film your fur baby sleeping, awooing, doing zoomies.
So, if I may ask, does your love of fur babies stop at your own?
Do you hate brown people so much that you care little for the abandoned dogs & cats that are left behind in houses after ICE arrests their parents?
We, Natives, who have been on this continent for upward of 100,000 years, we'd love to know about you. Who are you? What is “white”?
Reading my response, it scans as way more defensive. My apologies.
Anthropologically, we Natives have been here on this continent for upward of 100,000 years. Let’s go a little further:
Anthropologically, the cradle of humanity begins in Africa. Btw, (back to reading), the Bering Strait Theory has been disproven.
Meanwhile, small dick syndrome is still a thing.
One thing you’ll never hear a Native say:
“You know, back in the old country…”
Because this is our old country. We never left.

@simonmoyasmith.bsky.social & I talk about Dolores Huerta, plus the long history of Irish & Native American allyship.
Listen:

They’ll violently arrest a Latina mother of three working two jobs, but they won’t arrest pedophiles. They’ll arrest a 60-year-old Latino working in the sun, but they won’t arrest pedophiles. They’ll arrest a mother & father exiting a hospital with their sick child, but they won’t arrest pedophiles.
Sepia-toned historical photograph of six Indigenous people posing outdoors in traditional clothing and beadwork, with teepees visible in the background. White text over a black bar at the bottom says that 14 years after the Choctaw people were forcibly relocated on the Trail of Tears, the tribe donated $170 to victims of the Irish Potato Famine, creating a lasting bond between the two peoples.

Tonight at 10 PM ET, join us live for Dolores Huerta, Irish-Native allyship, and a little historical cleanup work for the people still surviving on myths and green beer. @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social & I will be joining @johnfugelsang.bsky.social for "We're Still Here" on SiriusXM Progress ch. 127
“Where were you born?”
Uh, the middle left.
@johnfugelsang.bsky.social @movingsideways.bsky.social Thea Harper, I will always love the way y’all let minorities/marginalized people speak without interruption on their issues that only they know about. @juliefrancella.com @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social @siriusxmprog.bsky.social 🫡
“You Indians are rich as fuck from casinos.” Jackass, I bartend to make ends meet. Freelance journalists like myself literally earn $300 for a heavily researched 1,500-word article, and that’s *if* you get paid. And *if* you get paid that $300 arrives in 2 months minus a $25 fee. We’re not all rich.
Would Jesus demand the parents of a sick child pay for medicine to help their baby? Christian nationalists do not believe in free, universal healthcare, but, hear me out, how about free healthcare for kids? Jesus would get behind that, right? If there is a God, is He on break?
Oglala Lakota journalist @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social and Ojibway clinician and artist @juliefrancella.com describe Mullin as a “Custer Scout.” Spot-on take, IMHO.
Worthwhile listening from an Indigenous perspective, via @johnfugelsang.bsky.social:

Ironically, most white people who claim to be part Cherokee actually aren't (and why is it always Cherokee?).
I recommend @juliefrancella.com and @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social who are indigenous writers/activists with a weekly segment on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social's radio show/podcast.
Eye opening.
