In the 1950s, thousands of Native American children were placed in Mormon homes for 'racial assimilation.' Now, experts fear an upcoming Supreme Court ruling could allow that to happen again. Huge impact on Native rights!

The Church of Latter-day Saints' Indian Placement Program has been accused of 'cultural genocide.'

The program was part of a long history of removing Native American children from their families.

I've taken my "suitface" cover on two different trips so far. Unfortunately, it's not as hardy as I was hoping--the hole that the top handle comes through has frayed a bit. But still pretty fun.

RIP

This happens too much:

• People elect fascists
• People experience fascist repression
• People: "Who could have known this would happen?"
• Other people: "This is what happens when you vote for fascists"
• People: "Nobody told us they were fascists!"
• Other people: "These are the hundred times we told you they were fascists."
• People: "But you said it too many times so of course we didn't believe you!"
• Media: "Did intemperate use of anti-fascist rhetoric usher in fascism? Tonight at 8."

All the CoSoNauts in Fiona’s path, please stay safe!
