I am a little confused why you are critiquing Sinners for not representing indigenous people on the lands in Mississippi when both Choctaws and Chickasaws owned Black slaves and fought with the confederacy. Supremacy cultures creep in everywhere, how can we dismantle white supremacy (it must GO) when all the complexities remain unaddressed or deliberately ignored
Thank you and deep gratitude to the hosts/creators for this podcast as one of the most inspiring and revolutionary ones out there. The hosts are committed to collective liberation and all of that intentionality is reflected in the guest choices, topics, format, and content. Nick Estes and Melanie Yazzie are particularly skilled at storytelling, movement building, and what liberation can look like. The episodes covering ICE being in Minneapolis has been truly incredible and informative.
I've nothing if not boundless gratitude to Red Nation for offering their profound insight through stellar reporting sharing knowledge and solutions to overcoming the insatiable imperialism gripping the planet. Hearing your discourse gives me the fuel to continue holding space for others to rise, heal and return to community.

Something never sat right with me about the film: why was JR the to go to and not the GG as the sworn officer of the law?; his daughter’s death was caused by a serial offender (s) yet no on... more
