Quannah Chasinghorse, Fist Raised by Kiliii Yuyan

Quannah Chasinghorse, a groundbreaking Indigenous model, stands tall and confident, her gaze piercing through the lens to remind viewers “whose land you’re living on”. Using her fame to support activism, Chasinghorse’s assertive presence speaks to her dedication to creating positive change and elevating the voices of marginalized communities.

Quannah Rose Chasinghorse (born June 7, 2002) is a Native American model and fierce land protector who is an advocate for causes that affect her community. Her Indigenous ancestry is both Hän Gwich’in (from Alaska and Canada) and Oglala Lakota (from South Dakota)

Now that Chasinghorse has catapulted into the spotlight, walking the runways of Prabal Gurung, Chloé, and Chanel (among others) and attending the Met Gala, she's using her platform to advocate for change. She is using her unique beauty to forward the narrative of protecting indigenous lands, their people, and their animals while killing it as a model.

Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn't mean you can't advocate against it now. It doesn't make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don't let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.

You might assume that Dr. Anthony Fauci, after 54 years working at the National Institutes of Health and helping save countless lives, has retired so he can rest. However, Dr. Fauci doesn’t have time to retire.

Last month, Fauci joined Georgetown University School of Medicine’s Department of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases as a Distinguished Professor. He was also appointed to the university’s McCourt School of Public Policy.

“I’ve also been busy lecturing and writing my memoir, and since I’ve been out of the NIH for seven months, I’m not following the ins and outs of the government, but I am paying attention to what’s going on with PEPFAR,” he tells me.

PEPFAR is the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, which was signed into law 20 years ago this summer by President George W. Bush. It serves as a conduit to providing HIV medications to individuals in impoverished nations who would otherwise lack access to these drugs.

When I spoke to Fauci a couple years ago on the 40th anniversary of the discovery of HIV, he cited the opportunity to be the architect of the program as one of his greatest achievements. "It is the largest commitment by any nation to address a single disease in history," he told me. "It's been an honor to help lead this. I really value my participation in this program that has already saved 15-18 million (in 2021) lives around the world."

“PEPFAR impact has been truly remarkable,” Fauci told me during our phone call Friday evening. "It is one of this country’s greatest global health policies in history. It’s been a resounding success, and has saved at least 25 million lives worldwide and it provides antiretroviral treatments for over 20 million people worldwide.”

However, groundless claims from anti-abortion activists have put the program in jeopardy. Conservative and anti-abortion groups sent a letter to Republicans in Congress who are responsible for PEPFAR’s reauthorization. The letter said that PEPFAR funds are “used by nongovernmental organizations that promote abortions and push a radical gender ideology abroad.” They provided no evidence to back their claim.

Also, the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation released a report that said Congress needs to “reassess” PEPFAR. The report claimed, “The Biden Administration has misused the program as a well-funded vehicle to promote its domestic radical social agenda overseas, as it has done with other foreign aid programs.” This so-called report also did not provide any proof.

As a result, Republicans in Congress are threatening not to reauthorize the program.

“The idea that this program would be interrupted, despite its overwhelming success, is unfortunate,” Fauci said. “There’s a real danger to associate the program with cultural issues as opposed to scientific ones that clearly show PEPFAR is saving lives.”

“It seems paradoxical that abortion rights groups who fight for life want to interfere with a program that has saved millions of lives,” Fauci pointed out. “If the program doesn’t function, lives aren’t saved, millions of them.”

Instead of castigating the program, shouldn't these groups, as well as all Americans, be celebrating the 20th anniversary of this milestone? “What’s ironic is that it was signed into law by a conservative Republican President, and it is without question George W. Bush’s greatest achievement. It took years to put together, in a bipartisan way, and it is one of the world’s signature global health initiatives. The thought of it not being authorized is not only dangerous, but disastrous.”

hot tips, if there happens to be a strike.

1. buy gas and keep your tanks full. Crude oil is one of the main commodities shipped via rail, and prices will shoot up after labor unrest.

2. commuter railroads will shut down, also increasing gas prices and worsening traffic.

3. Trucking capacity will dry up in the US, so the vast majority of consumer goods being shipped over the road will experience significant delays. Get those Christmas gifts rn

The important thing to remember is that the rail strike will have significant long-term impacts, and the true impact will not necessarily be felt in the immediate aftermath. while it may seem unimportant now, this will have a monumental impact on the US economy and send the US further into a recession.

Prepare, but remember that it doesn’t have to be this way if we support our workers and advocate for a fair and just labor movement.

ADHD is getting labelled at school as the “lazy” kid and nobody understands how exhausting it can be trying to focus on something you have zero interest in.

Information on kosa because 99% of people on social media are either trying to scare you or completely take your attention away, and both spread misinformation

(Dated: September 7th 2023)

(Keep in mind, I am a Canadian citizen who only knows a little bit about how government work, so this is all based on what other people who have more knowledge have said)

—it is no one in the US government right now’s first concern. Yes, it’s on the list of things that are going to be discussed at some point, but no it is not far up on that list right now… especially when we’re in natural disaster season, and trying to come up with money to make it through the month whithout a government shutdown (which is also not worth worrying about)

—without the censorship part, it’s actually a good thing and very similar to what many countries already have to stop children from having their data leaked to cause targeted ads

—there are no confirmed dates yet… everyone posting about it seems to have come up with a magical date out of their ass that’s supposed to indicate when it’s being voted on, and none of them are actually correct. September 5th was when senate resumed, and December 15 the current *scheduled* date for the end of the 2324 session, provided nothing happens. Also, just because the senate is back doesn’t mean the house is as well… who is also required to work on the bill

—it doesn’t go immediately from the senate to Biden. What happens is that it’s voted on in the senate, and then the house has to review it to make sure it isn’t going against any rights and is still wise, and at that point in has to go back to the senate, then back to the house and on and on again until they have an agreeable lay out for it… or it might get dropped all together again

—Biden is in support of it… which seems bad, however considering all of the other information and the fact that it might not even look the same when it makes it onto his desk is also worth noting

—the work we’ve been doing to prevent it is actually helping, multiple people involved in the process have changed their minds on supporting it, and since it was announced to be moving to the senate in July it’s lost quite a bit of momentum

—it doesn’t directly impact anyone outside of the states. Sure, similar laws may be introduced if they don’t already exist, but just like eu privacy laws don’t affect Americans, kosa won’t affect those outside of it… also from what I’ve read I highly doubt any social media platforms are going to cease to exist because of it (that is, if it somehow marvellously doesn’t get flagged as going against 1st amendment rights and passes just as is)

—if it’s still in development/debate and doesn’t get placed on bidens desk by December 15th (or whenever this session ends), it’s dead. It can still be reintroduced as it has been I believe twice, but that’s just a deadline we’ve been given as of now for it disappearing this session

So base line, although we aren’t completely out of the woods, the whole thing is a lot less scary and takes a lot longer than it’s made out to be… however, keep calling your senators (including information about you as a caller’s position in this as in if you’re a student, minor, adult, parent, whatever.. makes a difference, especially since most minors don’t get involved in advocacy like this. And call as often as you want), advocating against it on whatever platforms you have, and stop posting videos with misinformation that scares the shit out of teenagers for views… that’s messed tf up

Also, although I don’t recommend looking at tik tok for actual updates, one specific account (@ ariella.elm) has very good, true, and cited information on this

If anyone has any proof I’m accidentally spreading misinformation in this, pretty please let me know.. and until then I shall sign out on this topic
