In a decision with sweeping national implications, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) ruled Friday that New York’s ban on Native American-themed school mascots violates federal civil rights law. The agency’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) found the policy discriminatory under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits race- and national origin-based discrimination in federally funded programs.

While I know we must seek joy in these dark times upholding systems that oppress others ain't it.
You're going to watch a game that features an anti Native team and a league that just removed "End Racism" from the end zone.
You're asking what you can do to stop what's happening in this country? The very least you can do to support Black and Brown people is change the channel.

If you're a fan of the former Washington football team name that was a slur against Natives you earn the response you get.
1/ WARNING: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS STILL HAPPENING AND IT'S WHY NATIVE MASCOTS HAVE TO GO ALSO THERE'S A PIC THAT MIGHT TURN YOUR STOMACH
Oklahoma's Spiro Public Schools, located on the Chahta Nation Reservation, played a football game against the Pocola Indians September 13. In order to get the Spiro Bulldogs raring to go the administration and staff decided that genocide ribbons were the best way to go.
1/2 I'll say it again: Chief White Calf was not the face of the redsk*ns.
The logo was designed by Blackfeet Walter "Blackie" Wetzel. According to his family it is based off the Buffalo Nickel & depicts Blackfeet Chief John "Two Guns" Whitecalf. Except that it doesn't.
We're still #notyourmascot Washington commanders.
The team unveiled new murals at commanders field that prominently feature the historic logo and the "R" emblem.
Owner #JoshHarris stated they wouldn't be returning to the old name for "obvious reasons" but said the team would "start to do things to bring us back to our heritage & honor our past." 1/
Nothing says your land acknowledgement was performative more than having the Kansas delegates in chiefs jerseys.

This is the same high school, Port Neches-Groves, that Disney allowed to perform a couple of years ago. They didn't let them wear headdresses but did let them chant "scalp 'em".
Their announcement will make you think they're Native but they're not.

What will those poor billionaires who own the Kansas City football team do now? Probably more anti Native racism.

I was asked this weekend of an example of white feminism. This is a great one where the Indigenous community has tried repeatedly to contact co owner Alyssa Milano to change the name and wouldn’t. #NotYourMascot https://x.com/n8v_calgarian/status/1757120140208963801?s=46&t=JEvzEruDfvKWiWQxUm8h7A
When it comes to #notyourmascot #changethename this is the slippery slope that bigots feared would come to roost if they started changing mascots. That folks would interrogate the roots of colonialism in sports & adjacent philanthrophy orgs, ect.
Swifts are pretty badass birds. Some of them have stayed airborne, eating insects and whatnot, for TEN MONTHS AT A TIME! They can darken the sky flocking in vast numbers. There's a cool mascot for you, Kansas City NFL club, and nobody who matters would be mad at you. UNLIKE NOW #appropriation #NotYourMascot
Go Rhonda! #NotYourMascot #NotInOurHonor

For the fourth time in five years, the Kansas City Chiefs are playing in the Super Bowl. It’s a welcome thought for the team’s legion of fans. But for Indigenous activists, the Chiefs’ use of Native American imagery and references “tells Native kids that the rest of society, the only thing they ever care to know about you and your culture are these mocking minstrel shows.” AP has more: https://flip.it/IMAx3P
Per the artist who created it, James Fraser, the coin doesn't depict a single person. It's a blend of 3 different men from 3 different tribes: Chief Iron Tail of the Sioux Tribe, Big Tree of Kiowa and Two Moons of Cheyenne. It has zero connection to the Blackfeet. It has zero connection to any tribe at all.

It's nothing more than a stereotype. It's gross
But hey, thanks for proving our point it has no business representing real Peoples.
And every time that happens it happens to every single one of us too.
That's why the Chicago hockey team needs to immediately #changethename and #ChangeTheMascot
Because we are #NotYourMascot and
#TheTimeIsNow
This is the mascot of the Chicago Blackhawks, a cartoon stereotype the team calls an honor. They will not #changethename, refusing to see that we are #NotYourMascot.
It's supposed to be Chief Black Hawk.
(It's pretty gross)
And every time that happens it happens to every single one of us too.
That's why the Chicago hockey team needs to immediately #changethename and #ChangeTheMascot
Because we are #NotYourMascot and
#TheTimeIsNow
