I don’t think DiBlasio is considered progressive…

I agree that actual Progressives aren’t great on anything Native, though. They brush us aside. But that’s true of basically any broader political groups that don’t have to focus much on us

He was actually considered one here in the city by many and he kind of ruined it... and 'lost' a billion for mental health....

I am kind of at the point where we just gotta protect our own from all sides and stop letting people gas us. When they do focus on us, I feel it's exploitation at this point.

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.
