oh yeah no doubt. and i think if they were trying to suppress any discussion of the topic, like making it literally impossible to talk about [the thing / the fact that twitter is blocking discussion of the thing] then that would be a lot more objectionable. but instead it's just this self-defeating (because streisand effect) dumb thing - like i probably would not have heard about the story in the first place except for their own actions

First, they point to Oklahoma’s long historical prosecutorial practice of asserting jurisdiction over Indians in state court, even for serious crimes on the contested lands.

that makes sense. i actually thought it might be something like that and googled it. according to the wikipedia page "native american name controversy" "indian" gets that treatment in canada because of the the "indian act," but it made no mention of the united states in that regard.

The guy was The New Yorkers/CNN's resident expert on the courts. He literally made his living writing about people making judgment. Which is just fucking laughable considering his poor judgment here.

Who the hell thinks it's a good idea to jack off on a work call?

i know that some indigenous people prefer to be called indian just because they've been called that their whole lives. but around here native is the most common term. maybe because there's so many indians

Hey, I've decided to have a political opinion, just like everybody I know on Facebook. It's remarkable how people magically turn into political geniuses in spite of never having been involved in actual politics. I know a couple people that love writing "WHAT BIDEN NEEDS TO DO TO WIN" screeds that imply they're great at this sort of thing in spite of never having convinced anyone of anything face to face.

Anyway, since everyone else is a pundit right now, I decided I am too. And my prediction is this: Trump's losing. Badly.

538 agrees with you (currently they have him at 13%)
here's hoping he actually does lose!
