The U.S. government questioning Native Americans' birthright citizenship isn’t just a bureaucratic issue—it’s a fundamental attack on Indigenous sovereignty. Native people are dual citizens: members of our sovereign nations first and foremost, with U.S. citizenship imposed on us in 1924 to erode that sovereignty. Now, the state is threatening to claw back even this imposed recognition, undermining treaty obligations and the legal frameworks that acknowledge our nations’ existence.
This is settler colonialism in action—using laws to erase and control. We’ve always existed as independent peoples, long before the U.S. imagined itself into being, and we’ll continue to exist regardless of what the settler state decides. This fight isn’t about fitting into their system; it’s about defending our right to govern ourselves on our terms.

@emsenn It's white supremacists who should be deported. Round them up starting wirh Trump and every ICE agent. Stuff them in ships and send them back to Europe. Their ancestors came here as armed invaders not peaceful migrants.

@MedeaVanamonde
I thought your comment was interesting so I spent the last fifteen minutes searching the internet so I could understand your reference to a Cherokee tribe and "The Bomb." But came up with nothing. Could you elaborate, please?

You know: Nuclear Weapons.
An alternate explanation to Earth Quakes in Ohio is underground nuclear weapons teasting.
And of course their nukes are Bang Bombs: Clean; 0 Gamma Ray Flux, no fall out of radioactive debris, just light up thru X -rays and the rest of the energy in an EMP and the mother of all shockwaves.
With just a hint of Antimatter cause those gamma rays have to go somewhere

While I agree with the right of self government, at what point do the tribes stop accepting payments from the US government though social programs and other tribal subsides?
Because what you imply is self governance without sacrifice.

@RememberUsAlways @emsenn Why should a people who were subjected to mass land theft, genocidal killing, and the erosion of their lifeways, have to make some “sacrifice” to exercise their right of sovereignty? Why shouldn’t the state that did that, that continues to benefit from that, provide them financial assistance?

War is brutal but nearly 3000 years of wars and suddenly everything is genocide.
I don't buy it.
The US tribes are all well respected and Trump is a moron for questioning their citizenship.
I have issue with the Tribes accepting government subsides while claiming the need for self governance.
Pick one.

@RememberUsAlways @emsenn Yeah, totally. Why reevaluate the actions of the past and rectify the issues stemming from it, when we could just become simultaneously moralists AND moral relativists. Then we could all sit around, doing nothing. World would be worse, but, hey, more time for navel-gazing.

@emsenn ”Watch us do it”
I think they’ll pull every lever, keep making things worse until someone stops them actually.
Cruelty is the whole point.
Sorry if this hurts anyone, but the global West seems to be fixated on thinking ”everything is fine”, we cling onto it for dear life.
That’s the weak spot, the exploit. We avoid doing anything, because even if the price of remaining comfortable is to pretend, we do it.
Until that ends, they’ll keep ripping all the good to shreds.
