Adios, Graham Greene. Not just a great actor, but a ballsy actor who took risks and expanded the palate of roles for Native American performers. Sure, Dances With Wolves, but, man, check him out as a total flirt in Transamerica or as a UFO-obsessed loner on Reservation Dogs. Such masterful presence.

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

I'm aware of that. I was referring to some of the elder celebrities who stuck their necks out to speak truth to power. Today's celebrities are too attached to their careers and bank accounts. They are risking nothing. They are letting their fans know passivity will save us. It won't.

We live in a suburb just outside of Chicago. On Friday, August 23rd., my husband and I saw 3 National Guard HumVees turn west onto Army Trail Road from County Farm Road. It appears that Trump has sent the Guard already, quietly with no fanfare or have others seen them too?

Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.
