I invite you to join me for My Second Cup of Coffee and a discussion about the need to protest strategically. Walk in Beauty my relatives.

Yá'át'ééh my relatives. Today over My Second Cup of Coffee I share a few preliminary thoughts on Trump's Inauguration speech in which he mentioned the "untamed wilderness", (SCOTUS speak for calling Native Americans "savages"), and he promised to pursue our nation's "manifest destiny" (white evangelical speak for justifying the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Indigenous peoples). Anyway, much to discuss. I invite you to join me.
