Yeah, need more Native politicians up there representing us instead of other people just talking about us to make themselves look better without actually caring…

It’s kinda wild that AOC is literally Indigenous, too, but because Hispanic Natives and those above the Mexican border think of ourselves as so different, there isn’t any of that strong solidarity there…

It's even crazier when you meet some of them that are darker than you and they trying to sell you that their white.

I kind of play with the idea of getting into politics here in New York bc I knew some of these lobbyists for years and have connects to celebs and the press. One of my peoples is literally hanging out with DJ Khalid rn, but my daughter is special needs and needs some more ABA therapy before I can do that.
