The 2026 midterm elections draw near. It's easy to feel overwhelmed. Judging by the increasing desperation being demonstrated by certain individuals, "it" does indeed appear afraid. So, then, be Wolfriders. Think and act as one. Defeat the beast. Get out there and vote.

The days of 'going along to get along' are fucking over. We're done watching Dem's pretend we can just move forward after the Rapepublicans ignored the Constitution, committed crimes against humanity, and completely lost their collective minds. We want consequences. We want justice.

Earlier today, the white nationalist group Second Sons appeared at the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc reserve. We can't ignore the white nationalism & white supremacy normalizing residential school denialism, the erosion of Indigenous rights & rising anti-Indigenous racism. cfjctoday.com/2026/09/27/a...
