info_outlineVice presidential candidate for the Democratic Party and Minnesota governor Tim Walz stopped in Window Rock, AZ where snipers lined the monument and three Diné citizens were brutalized by his staffers during the Harris/Walz campaign stop. Navajo Nation president Buu Nygren announced the public event the day before, 10 days before the general election.
While standing in the crowd, a Diné woman was continuously harassed by authorities and attacked by a Walz staffer, while another Diné man was brutalized and arrested. Meanwhile, Buu Nygren, President of the Navajo Nation, was getting heckled about his missing Vice President and another woman chanting for Trump in the crowd. It was clear that campaign staffers weren’t clamping down on "disruptors", rather, they were targeting Diné people--on their own homelands--policing anyone who supports Palestine.
In this episode, Justine hosts Janene, Kiley, and Koi as they recount their violent removals from the event, and their analyses of Navajo Nation Police, the widespread acceptance of genocide in the Democratic Party, and the blatant disregard for tribal sovereignty during the U.S. presidential elections.
