PART ONE-
Passing the infrastructure bill is a huge win for America’s Indigenous communities. $3.5 billion is allocated for chronically underfunded tribes. The U.S. is finally giving back, to the first people of this land, who it has traditionally — taken so much from.

HN- Confirmed right? The bill did pass yesterday right?
PART 2 -Done
HN- Then why the fuck did the Squad who are so progressive vote against it?
AOC, Cori Bush, Jamal Bowman, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Presley voted against the infrastructure bill

@AkomoCombine The 6 progressives voted against it, because they wanted BBB to pass at the same time. I believe they waited until there were 218 votes in favor before voting "no," though - so they probably had a backroom deal in place where they'd vote "yes" if their votes were absolutely needed.
@Synical Yeah not speculating on these ones in particular.
Native tribes needed this.
Never trusted the squad from the beginning and now i know why.
