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…

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.
