  9. #JeffreyEpstein's former #ZorroRanch searched after revelations in FBI files, #NewMexico prosecutors say

    March 10, 2026 / 9:13 AM EDT / CBS/AP

    "State investigators began searching a secluded ranch in New Mexico on Monday where financier and sex offender Jeffrey #Epstein once entertained guests, following allegations that the property may have been used for sexual #abuse and sex #trafficking of young women.

    "The office of state Attorney General Raúl Torrez announced that the search was being done with the cooperation of the current ranch owners.

    "A spokesperson for the New Mexico Department of Justice said the department initiated the search with help from the New Mexico State Police and Sandoval County Sheriff's Office, whose jurisdiction includes the ranch.

    "Torrez reopened an investigation in February into the ranch and activity that allegedly took place there prior to Epstein's 2019 death. The state attorney general said in an announcement at the time that the decision was tied to the then-recent release of the Epstein files.

    "New Mexico's initial case was closed in 2019 at the request of federal prosecutors in New York, and state prosecutors say now that 'revelations outlined in the previously sealed FBI files warrant further examination.'

    "Epstein purchased the sprawling Zorro Ranch in Stanley, New Mexico, about 30 miles south of Santa Fe, in 1993 from former Democratic Gov. #BruceKing and built a hilltop mansion with a private runway."

  10. #PrayerHorseRide Prepares for Sacred Journey 2025

    "We do not sell our #MotherEarth or profit off of her, Mother Earth is here to take care of us and teach us our natural ways of Life! I pray we all stand to protect our Mother,” - Josh Dini, Sr., Walker River Pauite Tribe, #WaterProtector, #PrayerHorseRider and a member of #AIM Northern Nevada.

    By Prayer Horse Ride, via #CensoredNews

    SCHURZ, Nevada -- "The Prayer Horse Ride is getting ready to begin our 4th annual sacred journey March 21st – April 2nd, across Nevada in the ancestral lands of the Numu (#Paiute) and Newe (#Shoshone), through Yerington, Fallon, Wadsworth, Nixon, Lovelock to McDermitt, and ending near Orovada, honoring #PeeheeMuhuh (#ThackerPass in the McDermitt Caldera).

    "Those Riders, Walkers, and Runners carry the prayerful energy with each community. They'll move forward to raise awareness regarding water usage and #NativeAmericanGraves Protection and
    Repatriation Act concerns about #lithium mining in Peehee Mu'huh and within the McDermitt Caldera.

    "The Ride also raises awareness of several #EndangeredSpecies in #FishLakeValley (#TecopaBirdsBeak, #TiehmsBuckwheat, and #TuiChub), a place Newe gathered foods and medicines, held sacred ceremonies, and where a proposed lithium boron mine would violate the #AmericanIndianReligiousFreedomAct."

  12. #NativeAmericans Hold #NationalDayOfMourning on #Thanksgiving

    "'Thanksgiving' is a white-washed holiday designed to conceal its true origins of violence, #genocide, #LandTheft, and #ForcedAssimilation," - #IndigenousEnvironmentalNetwork.

    Jessica Corbett
    Nov 28, 2024

    "In contrast with Thanksgiving celebrations across the United States on Thursday, Native Americans held a National Day of Mourning, promoted accurate history, and championed Indigenous voices and struggles.

    "Despite rainy conditions, the United American Indians of New England held its 55th annual National Day of Mourning at Cole's Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Kisha James, who is an enrolled member of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) and also Oglala Lakota, shared how her grandfather founded the event in 1970 and pledged to continue to "tear down the Thanksgiving mythology."

    "The past influences the present" and "the settler project" continues with racism, misogyny, and anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination, James told the crowd. "The Pilgrims are not ancient history."

    "James took aim at fossil fuel pipelines, oil rigs, skyscrapers, corporations, the U.S. military, mass incarceration, and the criminalization of immigrants, and declared that "no one is illegal on stolen on land."

    "Jean-Luc Pierite, a member of the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana and president of the board of directors of the North American Indian Center of Boston who helped organize this year's gathering, told USA Today that "while we are mourning some tragic history but also contemporary issues, we are also expressing gratitude for each [other] and building this community space."

    "Coming together as a community for a feast and to express gratitude—that's not something that was imported to this continent because of colonization," Pierite said. "Indigenous peoples have had these practices going back beyond, beyond colonial contact."

    This year's event in Plymouth included speeches about the suffering of Palestinians—as Israel wages a U.S. government-backed war on the Gaza Strip that has killed at least 44,330 people, injured 104,933, and led to a genocide case at the International Court of Justice—and of people impacted by extractive industries.

    "The message from Indigenous peoples internationally has been consistent: that we need to center the development of traditional ecological knowledge, Indigenous knowledge, and move away from fossil fuel extractive economies," said Pierite. "At this time the world needs Indigenous peoples."

  13. How you can still support the 2024 #NationalDayOfMourning even if you can’t come to #Plymouth

    If you are unable to participate directly in the National Day of Mourning in Plymouth, MA, here are seven ways you can stand in solidarity with United American Indians of New England (UAINE) and the National Day of Mourning.

    1. Watch the National Day of Mourning livestream from Plymouth beginning at 12 noon on November 28.

    2. Help to spread the word about National Day of Mourning on social media. Would you rather support National Day of Mourning in Plymouth than engage in a celebration of white supremacy, the theft of a continent and the genocide of Indigenous peoples? Say why on your Facebook page, Twitter or Instagram account.

    3. Donate! You can donate to UAINE here:
    chuffed.org/project/116129-uni
    england-uaine-fundraiser

    While we are grateful for your donations to UAINE, this year we want to urge everyone to make donations to
    organizations that are currently able to have a direct impact on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Here are a few that have been recommended: Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, ANERA, Middle East Children’s Alliance, 1for3.org, Gaza Mental Health Foundation, MSF, Crips for E-sims, CareforGaza.

    4. Use Thanksgiving Day as a ‘teachable moment’ and educate family and friends. If you gather for a Thanksgiving meal, read aloud to your friends and family about the real history of Thanksgiving and National Day of Mourning before you sit down to eat. Matthew Hughey’s “On Thanksgiving: Why Myths Matter” is one possible text that is just about the right length for a pre-meal reading. You can also read the suppressed speech of Wamsutta Frank James, the founder of National Day of Mourning, and check out the UAINE website. You can watch the livestream from Plymouth. If you or your family members are hungry for more truth-telling, you can recommend books for further reading such as Our
    History Is The Future by Nick Estes, An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz, Lies My Teacher Told Me by James W. Loewen, A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn, and David Stannard’s American Holocaust: Columbus and the Conquest of the New World.

    5. Spread the truth and give the “hidden” story of Thanksgiving a human face by arranging for a member of UAINE to give a talk at a school, church or community center near you. Email [email protected] for more information.

    6. Help to champion Indigenous voices by supporting other Indigenous struggles. You can work to free the Native American activist Leonard Peltier freeleonardpeltiernow.org, who has been a political prisoner for 50 years. You can join the fight against racist and demeaning Native sports team mascots, name brands and products. You can support the fight to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day on the 2nd Monday in October. You can amplify Indigenous voices in raising awareness about Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Two-Spirit and Relatives. Check out the UAINE Facebook group and many other social media outlets for information about what is happening in your area and what you can do to help. Express your solidarity, and urge others in your community (trade union, social justice
    organization, religious community, etc.) to help, too!

    7. Support Indigenous climate activists and landback efforts. Indigenous people are on the frontlines defending the water and land from pipelines, fracking, mining and much more. Indigenous peoples throughout the Americas are fighting to stop fossil fuel extraction, megadams and mining and to preserve land, water and treaty rights. Support Indigenous-led climate justice organizations!

  14. #WabanakiAlliance testifies in Washington about the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women [#MMIW]

    Maine Public | By Carol Bousquet
    Published November 21, 2024

    "Murdered and missing indigenous women were the focus of a hearing before House Interior Appropriations leaders Wednesday in Washington.

    "Wabanaki Alliance Executive Director Maulian Bryant testified that one in three indigenous women will be the victim of a violent crime in her lifetime. And she said stereotypes about indigenous people silence victims and make their cases more challenging to address.

    "'When an Indigenous woman goes missing there's not the same attention and action as when a Caucasian woman does. The primary reasons for this are threefold: societal indifference, jurisdictional and coordination issues, and a lack of resources for tribal law enforcement agencies. The false conceptions of our people lead to victim blaming and attitudes that minimize attention given to these cases,' Bryant said.

    "The 1980 Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act, Bryant said, has led to the dismissal of tribal cases because they were 'kicked out to state courts' and resulted in 'zero convictions.'

    "'The state was very adept at their negotiating, and it's kept us oppressed and held back from our full experience as federally recognized tribal nations," she said. 'We are heavily restricted by this settlement, and it impacts this crisis as well.'

    "Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act in 2022 means Maine tribes are now able to handle criminal cases on tribal lands.

    "But Bryant said more resources are needed for tribal law enforcement training and ensuring that data on indigenous crimes against women are collected and shared with state and federal agencies that can help to bring justice to victims.

    "Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, ranking member of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, invited Bryant to testify.

    "In a statement, Pingree said there is a need for additional funding for staffing and public safety, and justice programs that can comprehensively address this crisis. 'That's why it's imperative we pass a full year Interior Appropriations bill and not have programs constrained by operating under a Continuing Resolution,' she said.

    "The 2023 launch of the Department of Justice Missing and Murdered Indigenous Person Regional Outreach Program has placed ten attorneys and coordinators in five designated regions across the United States to help respond to cases, according to Pingree."

  15. I'm disappointed that #ReservationDogs didn't win any #Emmys -- but kudos to D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai for making a statement about #MMIW!

    Reservation Dogs star covers face in 'blood' at the #EmmyAwards in bold political statement

    Story by Caroline Gaspich
    9/15/2024

    "Reservation Dogs star D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai made powerful political statement at the 2024 Emmy Awards as he walked the red carpet with a red handprint painted over his face.

    "The 22-year-old actor was one of the few celebrities at the major award ceremony to make a bold political statement on the red carpet. The young Canadian star was photographed in a classic black suit with a bright red bloody handprint painted over his mouth which is a symbol of solidarity with the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement in North America.

    "This handprint is in recognition of all of the thousands of women that have been silenced and the harrowing fact that #NativeAmerican women are up to 10 times more likely to be murdered or sexually assaulted. The root cause of this injustice stems from a number of factors including #colonization and #HistoricalTrauma, #racism, and sexual #objectification of #IndigenousWomen.

    "The bold statement comes as Woon-A-Tai was nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his iconic role in FX's 'Reservation Dogs' as the character Bear Smallhill. Woon-A-Tai is competing in the category against Larry David from Curb Your Enthusiasm, Martin Short from Only Murders in the Building, and Matt Berry from What We Do in the Shadows.

    "Woon-A-Tai's political statement advocating for Indigenous women comes as he was an all-indigenous cast and crew on set of Reservation Dogs. Reservation Dogs is comedy-drama television series that follows the everyday lives of four Indigenous teens in rural Oklahoma, as they spend their days committing crimes to save money to escape their reservation community."
