Super duper quick history lesson that is driving me crazy that people don’t know.

If they are debating the citizenship of Native Americans where would they deport us to?

And the original roll of Reservations not being clear. Native Americans where not considered US citizenship unless they served military service since 1924, then for years after having to have permission to leave the reservation. Permission/Traveling slips of where you’re going, how long, why you’re going, and if you didn’t have one you’d be taken back to the reservation and may or may not be charged.

It is so important to be informed, especially if you are also native, most of our rights were granted by Acts(laws) and not amendments, and how easily they can be technically rescinded.

Its very possible you are the first generation of your family to technically be considered a full citizen to freely express your rights, considering we didn’t get granted religious freedom to practice until 1978 and the right to self determination in 1975. Being able to own businesses, property, money, arguably right to keep our children where all passed with laws not amendments and we are very vulnerable to having them taken away.

So if you’re wondering where would the Natives go? Reservations, and even then they have history of wanting to take those away too.

There’s a lot more fear for southern natives at moment their families more vulnerable being closer to the boarder, please stay safe! Stay strong!

Keep watching and stay informed, it’s the time to ask our elders for advice and knowledge of what they did during those hard times.

Studies show that babies are not afraid of snakes

Scientists launched reptiles into the nursery to assess the reaction of the kids. The result killed: the crumbs perceived the reptiles as toys, and some tried to eat them

You know what actually. If you constantly harp on the addendum of “men are also hurt by patriarchy” that “marginalized men are hurt more by patriarchy than more privileged men”, it’s still like, very extremely the case that marginalized men benefit from patriarchy in a way that marginalized women just don’t. Privilege often feels invisible to the people experiencing it though so they fucking HATE hearing this

Multiple attempts to reintroduce captive-born ‘alalā to Hawaii’s Big Island have been unsuccessful, in large part because of the ‘io, or Hawaiian hawk, the ‘alalā’s last surviving natural predator. But now new hope is taking wing: a fresh class of five young ‘alalā has been released into the wild on the slopes of the Haleakalā volcano on the island of Maui, where ‘io are absent.

friend that doesnt drive: anyways really look the thing about origami is that its not about getting the fold right on the first try its meant to be an exercise in precision sure but also in patience the instructions are repeatable tasks that you do over and over again to polish the skill before applying it to something else. a thousand swans arent folded in a day and really its meant to bring you to reflect upon what it means to even be folding in the first pl-

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has run a secretive program for years where ICE agents have trained hundreds of civilian volunteers on how to operate multiple types of firearms, conduct investigations and surveillance of immigrants, and use lethal force on human beings.

The program, known as Citizens Academies, includes role-play scenarios for civilians to conduct fictional raids on immigrants and is active in New York and in more than a dozen cities across the country. The program is run by Homeland Security Investigations, the branch of ICE in charge of intelligence, international affairs, and surveillance.

According to thousands of internal documents obtained from ICE via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request litigation, published on Oct. 1 by a group of civil rights organizations, the program was piloted first in Puerto Rico in 2014 and turned national in 2019.

The reason endermen don’t like it when you look at them is because they communicate telepathically with one another by locking eyes! Humans are absolutely not designed to do this so when we look at them we are accidentally projecting all of our thoughts into them at the same time and it hurts :(

“transphobia/transmisogyny is a just a fake problem for self-absorbed white people” is actually an extremely common transphobic/transmisogynist argument, one that people on here don't seem to be sufficiently wary of
