honestly it might be an effective strategy for keeping trump off his back, winning him over with a little charm.

the network effects are pretty strong so you basically have to go wherever the most people are. I guess maybe its a thing on mastodon, but I haven't spent enough time there to know

"Minnesota" mentioned minnesota-flag

That headline stat doesn't shock me. Native people are well represented here but they are treated like absolute dirt. There's been a lot of motion on the ground to alleviate this but the cities just double down on deadly crackdowns mostly. Combine that with the weather... it's a rough place to be, despite harboring a surprising amount of radicalism and support structures.

Settler society is still to this day extra cruel to the indigenous (in the rare cases where it can't pretend they don't exist)
