I….did not realize they were NOT classified as wildlife. Of course they’re wildlife. You can certainly pen up elk and make profit off of them, but that doesn’t mean they’re the same as cows or chickens.

Edit: also, like, they’re native to this land as wildlife, while cows and other domestics were imported??

I think that it’s similar to the idea that anti-racism needs to start with white people.

White people have the social capital to stay safe while protesting—thus able to further the cause for longer—and the subjugation starts with white people so they have a responsibility to start the movement.

Rich people have the economic capital to stay safe while protesting—thus able to further the cause for longer—and the subjugation originates with rich people so they have a responsibility to start the movement.

I just want to shake conservatives and ask “Why doesn’t your government want you to know things??”

That’s a GOVERNMENT webpage??? What the fuck??

Oh, that’s super fun. I didn’t have poisonous rice on my End of the World bingo card.

This is why we need feminist activism: prevent men from chaining a woman’s ability to pay for food or housing to his access of her reproductive system (in the form of sex or literally reproducing).

Too bad conservative women don’t recognize that.

Thank you!!

Where can I find the evidence for this? I want to read more about it.

Ugh, you’re so right. I was hoping to find a silver lining and there isn’t one.

Okay, so who in the government is responsibility for preventing politicians from going after their political enemies? Who isn’t doing their job right now?

If it’s just the courts, we’re fucked. They’re overworked and legal cases take way too long to stop this. And of course congress is bought and paid for.

So the constitution was built to fail. Got it.

Stupid economy-destroying pissing game aside, I wonder if this bullshit will be a net positive for the environment. Fewer rare minerals mined, fewer gas/coal-sucking boats making the trip across the ocean full of single-use plastic products and fast fashion, etc.

I assume “grown”—or “born and raised—in America.

AKA: US citizens.

Government research money and other grants aside, if the government stops giving FAFSA money to a college, a massive source of the college’s income stream halts, preventing them from paying employees and keeping the lights on, and preventing a vast majority of students from stepping foot on campus.

That being said, if the college can convince donors to reorganize endowment money in order to tell Trump to go fuck himself, I support that college 💯

Yeah, in the USA, religious beliefs are held in more importance than the right to access basic survival resources.

They’re convinced that these immigrants are in the system because they’re illegally receiving benefits as illegal aliens.

Yeah, and most non-Nazis have long left the platform and deleted their account. The log-in issue is a huge one. It effectively blocks a massive portion of the US from getting important information about money that is theirs.

Definitely. Things politicians say make a lot more sense when you realize that code speak.

It kind of always has been this way. “The people,” “Americans,” “White people,” etc have always been defined arbitrarily, and always in American history have referred to wealthy landowners who adhered to a puritan work ethic and a supposed “Anglo-Saxon” culture.

I’m torn on this. Like I don’t like giving churches special rights, but also, it’s great that many are trying to protect immigrants and I want to keep those safe spaces.

But applications are rising.

I don’t think “over educated” is the right word. I lean toward “poorly educated regarding history and the other humanities.”
