[Description: Tweet from Lucas Brown Eyes: Natives protest the pipeline… States pass laws saying it’s okay to run over protestors. Natives swing a ND Senate seat… they take away their vote. An Indigenous Actress gets an Oscar Nomination… There’s a push to make Oscar qualifications stricter.
I’m noticing a pattern. End description]
“They take away their vote.”
Wait – WTF?!?!?!?
Oh yeah. In North Dakota you can’t vote if you don’t have a physical address and most people who live on reservations use PO boxes bc their roads and houses aren’t on mail routes. This was literally done last year specifically to disenfranchise native voters.
