Hello all. Indian is a slur. Just Google it. -an actual Native
It's inaccurate and incomplete to do otherwise. The fact that Thorn does not incorporate slavery as the underlying framework that shaped Jefferson's views and policies towards Indigenous peoples is a failure of analysis. 5/5
Watching the main points of Abigail Thorn's video about Thomas Jefferson and his views on the Indigenous peoples of North America, specifically living in the US, who she constantly refers as American Indians, which is wrong and an offensive term, is disturbing. 1/5
. And a biracial Indian/Indigenous American the comments in this thread is exhausting. I know Abigail knows better with her research & likely means well with her work. I am gonna watch the video. But I'm so tired. Please do better. Niá:wen 🙏🥺
I’m a massive Star Wars fan as you know. British colonizers are in everything. British and their descendants will never stop with their anti Indigenous hate.
Which is... I mean, it's very British if nothing else. She isn't a small channel. She was in Star Wars for God's sake. She has the income to hire a Native script consultant & evidently didn't consider us worth consulting.
What I find troubling, is there's also just some bits about Native history she also just... gets wrong. But the sort of thing a Native script consultant would have caught. So it's just very clear she didn't consider Native folk worth consulting about our own oppression.
Mahsi. 7 new accounts I instantly blocked and following you now. (It’s 2025 and we are still correcting misinfo?)
Native people have been on turtle island for at least 40000 years longer then land bridge theory postulates. It is very debunked. Yes, there are enclaves in Academia who still cling to it, but there motives are mostly based in racism & procolonialims ideology.
I had a reply about this when I first watched the video on Nebula, I see you have not corrected it Land Bridge theory is debunked Its disappointing seeing someone who frames themselves as an educational channel present blatant & racist misinformation as uncritical fact www.cbc.ca/news/science...
The racist white woman doesn't get to decide which terms that were used to demonize us are acceptable or not.
I swear if you say Indians one more time referring to indigenous people and me I'm going to fucking scream. We're NOT Indians. We are indigenous people. "Indian" is a slur. And refers to entirely different people of ANOTHER settler colony.
why are there no Indigenous ppl in your video? why are you speaking for them instead of stepping aside and giving them access to your platform, your viewers, and your pull? why does thomas jefferson have more of a voice than actual, modern, living, culturally-connected Indigenous ppl???
Did you use fucking slurs in this? What the actual fuck. It's 20-fucking-25, and you used slurs for Indigenous people? Did you not consult a single Indigenous person, the literal experts on settler-colonialism, at all?
You put your whole pussy into the research and STILL called us "Indians?"
Shameless plug but since yall are here could you check this out? I worked hard on it.
www.buzzfeed.com/ryanschocket... Yall want to act like Natives having a problem with non Natives calling us Indians is a new thing like this conversation didn't happen in 2023. Abigail Thorn has no excuse.
Ali pointed out that this clip doesn't address several aspects of the controversy, including the fact that after she addresses the issue in the very short clip you are spamming people, she continues to use the term. You are blatantly disregarding Native people. It's not too late to delete these.
abigail thorn has not only replied to other posts and ppl without replying to a single Indigenous person asking her why her video calls them "indians" or why there are no Indigenous voices in her video, she has now PINNED the video in question.

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.
This IS super funny, you gotta admit!
Ok but it’s kinda funny land locked Alberta is banning Jaws. Like why is that the hill for an Albertan libertarian to die on? #bannedbooks I could make an argument on why but won’t. Just going to laugh at DS, UCP members, DP & TBA members thinking they “owned the Libs” tonight.

There is a RW group trying to get more socially conservative school trustees to take over Alberta school boards. These folks are already so RW, refusing to have meaningful reconciliation changes, & systemic changes to be inclusive. Smh

Waiting on a reply from the outlet about the latest instance before naming names. I’m happy to see this stuff making news because it belongs there but irritated that despite telling me they’d link the full story, they failed that while chopping its context down to nonsensical.

Trans rights are human rights. I have the privilege of taking care of patients who are trans. Protect trans people. Trans people exist, and they always have and always will. They deserve access to safe and quality healthcare, including gender affirming healthcare.

I can’t believe after the amount of times I have recommended books like 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act, Cdns still don’t understand the Indian Act isn’t traditional governance. It’s imposed by the Cdn govt & Apartheid.
Every preventable death is a consequence of bad policy. Systemic policy failures that succeed in putting political interests above peoples’ inherent right to life, dignity, and self-determination. When we see this in healthcare or public health, we must name it and address it.
Re: Alberta’s new pay for the COVID19 Vaccine All these disability advocates and settler orgs but no one mentioning the Treaty Right to health or asking if #Indigenous are included. I see your silence. #10yrsTRC

A Criminal Law Quarterly 4-page editorial that needs a wider audience and continued pressure on all levels of government to do something different to eliminate the deaths of Indigenous people at the hands of the police. ssrn.com/abstract=537...
ok I'm going to try to find the agreement for this housing project here – it was city-owned land transferred to the Indigenous Land Trust, which former a partnership with housing developer and operator (both Indigenous nonprofits).
In 2022, a group of organizations penned an open letter demanding transparency on substance use programs in Alberta. The government said it was funding My Recovery Plan to accomplish this. Now, they’re quietly ending that program after apparently figuring out it’s not evidence-based.
Dustin raises a worthwhile point here: bsky.app/profile/godf... In 2023, we learned from Calgary police that they frequently and arbitrarily deem emails and other records “transitory.” @readtheorchard.org reported on this: 2/ www.theprogressreport.ca/euan_thomson...
Huge kudos to Andrew and Lisa for sticking with this story for months and showing how the VPD slow-walked FOI requests and requests for updated data. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...
I was watching Hayden Christensen & Ewan MacGregor in Chicago and realizing that we should tariff the States for comiccons now. I will not be taking questions at this time.
I’m going to figure that out because Indigenous Gathering Place has MOU’s but still no land. The Metis housing likely just bought.. I’ll have find out more.
Free Palestine. Free the people, free the land, from Turtle Island to Palestine!

Art expresses what words cannot
I can’t. Reading “outrage” by Cdns on this or that while being a-ok with Natives being shot & killed, kids taken by govt., killed in hospitals, our people dying by purposeful policies by the Cdn govt with no justice, ever.. you just sound like hypocrites on stolen lands.
