Resistance Radio with John and Regan

Native existence has more in common with Palestinians than with Israelis.

Italian Americans in elected offices from the boroughs of NYC to the State Capitol lost their collective minds when their white fragility was triggered by canceling their false hero's holiday. They demanded and received swift action. And guess what? It's worse!

This is National Week of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. We explain what MMIW is and some of the causes. We also discuss the NYC Department of Education cancelling Columbus Day!

Historian and author Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz joins Regan and John to discuss her new book due out in August, "Not A Nation Of Immigrants" and her collaboration with Raoul Peck on the HBO mini-series, "Exterminate All The Brutes."

We cannot condemn the celebration of the conviction of the killer cop in Minneapolis but we need to put it into perspective.

We are criminalized because of the lens we are viewed through. Native people have lived for thousands of years without a system of hierarchy. Our rights are birthrights, not handed down from above. Yet judges, cops, elected officials; all see us with only the rights they give us. It's not just that we reject authority; we reject the concept of authority.

Regan takes this one on her own and welcomes Eileen Janis and Tiny DeCory from the Bear Program of Pine Ridge and the featured community organizers in the new documentary, "The Bears On Pine Ridge."

Regan is on the streets of DC fighting to end the Enbridge Line 3 Pipeline so John goes through some of the weak arguments made for keeping Native mascots.

Lots of talk about "Stop Asian Hate!" That's good but let's be clear; Racism and hate crimes aren't about Black, Asian or Native people. It's about White Male Supremacy!

Native people are getting some backlash over $31Billion of the Covid Stimulus Bill going to Native territories. This is NOT reparations and it is certainly not Native people suddenly being pushed to the head of the line. This isn't even enough to back fill the gross underfunding of federal  obligations. This is a drop in a leaky bucket! And can you say "Cobell Settlement?" Yeah! A $3.4 Billion settlement for $150 Billion loss!

Deb Haaland has been confirmed! Now what? And why Native mascots are offensive.
