A lot of “Native territory” maps pin the Lipan Apache to a small region, but we were all over Texas (and elsewhere). Save this for your land acknowledgements in Texas, which actually do help us, IMO, since we’re actively fighting erasure and making strides in political rights.

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

This sad survey has become an annual tradition. For the fourth year in a row, when asked to name a single famous Asian American, the most common answer was "I can't think of one." Followed by "Jackie Chan" (who is not American) and "Bruce Lee" (who is not alive). www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-a...

Not that there’s anything wrong with “deviant” sexual kinks either. It just doesn’t really come up in public.

Pittsburgh normies love Furries. They come downtown & hang out & bring their kids to watch the fursuit parade. Actually meeting them in a family-friendly environment goes a long way to break the sexual deviant stereotype, if that’s what you’re worried about.

Parts of the Biden administration’s healthcare nondiscrimination rule went into effect today, but three federal judges — all GOP appointees — issued injunctions against aspects of it, including a Mississippi judge who issued a nationwide injunction blocking the rule’s gender identity protections.

In normal times, the Supreme Court would've smacked down claims of presidential immunity almost immediately, but we're not in normal times, and there's a reason why the conservative majority of Federalist Society bagmen waited until the last possible moment to provide this insane ruling.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

I'mma say this for all the people in the back. Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others. On page 5 of Project 2025's 180-day plan they openly call for outlawing porn, recommending imprisoning anyone who creates it. Are you an NSFW artist, or like the art? THIS IS YOU.

Sometimes there are small good things in the world, that make you believe some of the people in it are lovelier than you’d imagined, and Mr. Gaiman’s responses to this thread (about imposter accounts) are one of those times.

Biden's half of the debate was about policy, for at least 75% of it. Trump's half of the debate was about lying and dragging things back to spouting Great Replacement talking points. It's unfortunate that lying ones ass off is an effective debate topic.
