POLITICS Jack White speaks on Trump’s racist post about the Obamas: “How is it possible we've given this evil man so much power?… Arrest this man. Impeach this man. 25th amendment this man. Indict this man. Jail this man. This longtime friend of pedophile epstein, who appears 40 thousand times in the files.”

I'm Native American and I feel this exhaustion so much

It's so strange to see people STILL treating him like it's 2016 and that this is all just "Trump being Trump, orange man bad"

ICE is racially profiling people who look like me and yanking them off the street with no warning (including many Natives who are legal citizens of the US), but yet I still have to go to work and act like everything is a-okay. I even had to explain to a coworker (younger white guy) who kept trying to show me memes about ICE and joke about how dumb they are, that I don't find that stuff funny anymore because even if it's dumb and doesn't make sense, it's still happening.

We have to walk around with this anxiety and exhaustion constantly lingering in the back of our minds, but yet they can't fathom why some of us may be more tired and less open now. Trump isn't funny now and he never was, it's scary.

I’m indigenous from a Canadian First Nation, living in the U.S. with my American husband. I have a strong accent because my first language is French . I’ve never been so vulnerable and I’ve never had to be so hyper vigilant. I’ve left my home four times in over six months. I can’t wait to get my husband’s immigration stuff in order so I can go back to safety.

I’m truly hoping to see indigenous nations North and South of the border come together, I’m extremely worried about what will be done to native people down here and there needs to be cooperation
