This article is a great example on how the @nytimes coverage of Indigenous issues doesn’t meet the basic standards of journalism. This article grossly misrepresents what happened in the underlying custody cases and the people behind the lawsuit.
@Thelma_Lutun the downsides of the container ship option as it currently exists are gross outdoor air & real hit/miss food. and cost. i feel like we could solve for these problems and create an *actually* attractive alternative.
@Thelma_Lutun i would so love to see some sort of eco cruise option get commercialized. like, you don't need five swimming pools, knockoff broadway, a casino, and a 1K wait staff. just good food, a comfy room, a stocked library, and some deck space. sounds dreamy.
Speaking from personal experience, I would say those that comprise America's governing class, from politicians to staffers *really do* believe in American exceptionalism by and large and I think it creates some *enormous* blindspots.
2016: it’s only four years, how bad can it get

@maggiekb1 They're chanting "all cops are friends" and then taking selfies with them. Their self-perceptions are being reinforced plenty. This is a weird-ass take.
@yayitsrob The ACAF (“all cops are friends”) chants, the blue lives matter flag, the behavior during the first minutes of the building takeover — it isn’t a question of training or tactics, but of ideological consonance between the LE stratum & the far right, which will only grow
@katieworth@dsfinney i had basically the same experience as you, fast & hard roth binge in my mid 20s followed by a long mild skepticism. imo he's fine but very much belongs to THAT generation of Very Literary White Men
