Decolonizing the Klamath River Basin and Tweeting Elon Musk "NO!" (on his app X)
Ya'at'eeh my relatives. Today is Tuesday, August 1 and over My Second Cup of Coffee I talk about Indigenous efforts to decolonize the Klamath River in OR & CA by removing dams. And I discuss how to tell Elon Musk "No" (by continuing to Tweet on his re-branded App X). I invite you to join me.
