[AI appropriation is super messed up. In addition to Lakotaman'ing, non-Native people are learning (false) Native culture and history from fake sources that completely drowns out real Native voices.]

Native Americans have worked hard for decades to counter the stereotypes perpetuated in old movies and television shows about the American West. Now a new generation of Native technology experts worry that AI is eroding that work.

Yesterday in Oaxaca, a federal court ruled partially in favor of Mazatec anarchist Miguel Peralta, who is facing a 50-year sentence for trumped-up charges of murder for his role in the defense of the autonomy of his community of Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón.

The court ruled that the evidence and accusations made against Miguel, who has been battling these charges in and outside of prison for more than ten years and is now in hiding, were false. That is an important step.

But in cowardly fashion, rather than ordering an end to this charade and ruling in favor of Miguel's freedom, they deferred the matter to a lower state court to rule on the same material and issue a final verdict. Thus, Miguel remains in limbo with his freedom dependent on the more corrupt state court of Oaxaca.

Over the phone, Miguel said after the ruling, "Once again, it has been confirmed that justice, for our peoples and even more so for the community of Eloxochitlán, is given to us in crumbs. We have no other choice but to continue our resistance, to continue fighting for freedom, until we take it from them."

Just sent my newly turned 18yo grandson Shua information on how to register to vote in the #MvskokeNation

#Mvskoke #Native #Indigenous citizenship, like in all Native Nations, has responsibilities, and there is a special election coming up.

@Tzipporah @Yocheved & mom are already registered to vote, now we have to request an absentee ballot. I just mailed mine, but it can also be done via email.
As they say, being Native isn't all feathers and beads...

My mother and I went to get our new library cards today! Very cool to see this pamphlet on Indigenous fiction and non-fiction. #rochester #LibrariesRule #Indigenous #books #bookstodon
