forwarding from the Chinook Indian Nation:

"shiksh (Friend),

On this National Day of Mourning, the Chinook Indian Nation stands in solemn recognition of the complex history that today represents. While many celebrate Thanksgiving as a day of gratitude and community, for the Indigenous peoples of this country, it is also a time to reflect on the centuries of struggle, displacement, and erasure that followed the arrival of European settlers.

For the Chinook people, our history tells a story of resilience and hospitality. Our ancestors lived along the lower Columbia River for thousands of years, sustaining a rich culture rooted in the bounties of this land and the strength of our community. In 1805, when the Lewis and Clark Expedition reached the mouth of the Columbia River, it was the Chinook people who housed, fed, and supported them during the harsh winter. Our generosity and knowledge of the land were critical to their survival and success.

Today, we continue to work collaboratively with non-Indigenous community groups to care for our now shared land, including co-stewardship efforts with the Necanicum Watershed Council and the Columbia Land Trust.

As we mark this day, we ask that you join us in honoring the resilience of Native peoples across this land. We invite you to learn about our history and our present, to support Indigenous sovereignty, and to reflect on how we can all contribute to a more just and inclusive future.

Let this day be one of remembrance and action, as we work together to ensure the legacy of the Chinook Nation and all Indigenous peoples is recognized and celebrated — not only for our past, but for the thriving futures we deserve.

Thank you for standing with us.

hayu masi (many thanks),

Tony A. (naschio) Johnson"

The Zionist Occupation's army allowed roughly 10 aid trucks into Beit Hanoun in north Gaza, then nigh immediately dropped evacuation orders, and then dropped their bombs and artillery by helicopter, tank, and plane shortly thereafter. This disgusting and sadistic display by the Occupation was praised by Western media and, in that positive light the empire's ink wrote in, was used to justify dropping the threat of an arms embargo. The colony massacred the family of journalist Hossam Shabat, who has been accused of having participated in resistance operations by the settler-colony's leaders, and further destroyed the schools-turned-shelters acting as some of the only cover for Palestinians, days after the colony's intent to colonize — "annex" if you're a western journalist — the West Bank and al-Quds was published. Massacres have been carried out once again in Jabalia and recently in Ain Yacoub in the Akkar region in Lebanon's far north, killing over 30 displaced folks sheltering there.

Hezbollah says they launched "advanced, qualitative drones" missiles toward occupied Jaffa ("Tel Aviv"), hitting the "HaKirya" building that serves as the home of the occupation's "Defense Ministry" not once, but twice, using Qader-2 missiles for the second operation. A squadron of attack drones also targeted the occupation's Amos base, "an important transport and technology hub for Israel's northern region" according to The Cradle, near the Lebanon-Palestine border. Hezbollah fighters also targeted gatherings of the occupation's army soldiers on the outskirts of Bint Jbeil and Maroun Al-Ras in Lebanon with barrages of Nasr-1 missiles.

Additionally, Resistance fighters have begun operations targetting zionist checkpoints in Nablus, and clashes have begun in Tammoun, south of Tubas, in the West Bank in response to Occupation Forces attempting raids on the homes of wanted individuals.

"When the hour of tomorrow strikes, truths will emerge from the shadows to haunt you, O cursed occupier.

Victory to the resistance.
