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.
I got a lot more notifications on this than I'm used to, including a lot of replies, but that's more than I can deal with so I'm not going to read that, sorry!
@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.
