So many bizarro hot takes about First Nations people only make sense if you see “Native” as a quirky little ethnic category that you put down on a census and not, you know, a type of citizenship you can have from one of several sovereign fucking nations that we have treaties with. Like. “They’re only 2% Cherokee” – huh, interesting, tell me, what is the genetic requirement for Cherokee Nation citizenship? Spoiler alert, there fucking isn’t one, and almost all of the tribes which do have a blood quantuming requirement for citizenship had that concession extracted by their colonial conquerors at gunpoint.
Like. Imagine pulling this shit today. Imagine if the US invaded France, and forced their entire population into a reservation somewhere in eastern Slovakia. Imagine if the government of France signed treaties to try and guarantee some small remainder of rights for French citizens in that reservation. And then imagine if US citizens constantly hemmed and hawed about whether the legitimate, elected French government of this reservation should have the ability to continue to govern its own citizens, especially given the fact that not everyone in that reservation is even very ethnically Gaulish… I mean, can someone who’s only 2% French by blood really be considered a French citizen? Shouldn’t we make efforts to ensure that their children can’t continue to claim to be French, or be governed by the French legal jurisdiction?
The whole thing is just such wildly ludicrous propaganda about the nature and purpose of tribal sovereignty, and it is mind-blowing how many people have completely bought into it.
"And you took him down? Excellent." Then they proceed to laugh.
A defenseless deaf elderly man...
This is beyond horrific. The IOF is filled with depraved sadists and war criminals.

And now for a reminder that Bibi and Hamas were often buddy buddy
In stead of blaming Jews and Palestians, we should blame the leaders who clearly don't care for their people.
In addition to this, we should remember that most "zionists", especially the ones pushing for tgis war, aren't even Jewish!
Side note/correction-
We aren't Weimar Germany, nor Germany under the Nazis. Neither of those situation included a government so blatantly corrupt. Neither had the lawlessness, the utter comtempt for the courts and rule of law that is exhibited by tRump and the Republicunts.
We are the world's first long established democratic and free society that is devolving into a pre-broken autocratic absurdity of a nation. We have centuries of precedent being discarded for a venal and incompetent travesty that is supported by people who will not only not benefit, they will suffer just like all the ones they hate. We are "1984" and "Brazil" fused into one.
"Land of the Free". Provided you're white, obedient, and accept every lie the ruling powers spew out. Free until the definition of "wrong" and "illegal" expands to encompass you too.
And it's all there. Openly displayed. Hitler had the "Night of the Long Knives" to purge the SA when he no longer needed them as his secret allies who did the brutal, dirty work out on the streets for him. In the U.S nothing is hidden. ICE gladly violates laws for the administration with no attempt at dissemination, no need to dissemble. All these magatt "patriots" cheering on the destruction of the Constitution that is the foundation of the United States' freedom.
Somewhere in Hell Hitler and Himmler and Goebbels are saying "Hang on. Didn't these people fight against us and sacrifice over 400k lives to defeat fascism? Wasn't it these people?"
She fully didn't watch the segment because Jon did a very nuanced, thoughtful segment. He drilled down to kids just wanting to have a community and have fun.
What these TERFS are pissed off about is that he showed how disingenuous y'all are when you go "omg that trans athlete hit a ball really hard and it hurt a cis women" because when you look into it cis women even on their team hit harder then them. Because he pointed out that cis girls harm each other in sports all the damn time. He pointed out that when there was a bill to protect cis women athletes against sexual predators like coaches. Y'all decided not to pass that while passing an anti-trans bills all while claiming you just care about protecting women.
If this is not tax fraud, the laws need to be rewritten.
