the sound chart for na-dené looks pretty similar but then their words are loaded with vowels so it doesn’t really sound like Salish

my most authoritarian belief is probably that I'm basically fine with passive automated surveillance in public spaces especially wrt to cars. I think the backlash to speed cameras and automated license plate readers is mostly stupid given the clear public safety benefits.

It’s not a ceasefire if the killing continues on one side. Mass atrocities are being carried out by Netanyahu in Lebanon with U.S. backing. (1/3)

Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. That's why I have cosponsored H. Res. 939 Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office.

I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.

Listen to Spokane Public Radio's interview with Amal El-Mohtar and join us Monday at 5:30pm at Spokane Public Library where local author Stephanie Oakes will chat with Amal about her brand new book, SEASONS OF GLASS & IRON. Spokane is lucky to host one of only three U.S. appearances for this book!!

Award-winning author Amal El-Mohtar speaks with SPR's Owen Henderson about her new anthology "Seasons of Glass and Iron" and what she looks for in speculative fiction ahead of her visit to Spokane.

Isn’t this explained by loss aversion? Even though inflation is swamped by wage growth *financially*, it still hurts psychologically

We need to end corruption and ban Congressional stock trading. I just added my name to the 'ETHICS Act' to stop Washington politicians from personally profiting off their office.

The state of the union is that the President is spitting in the face of the law. He is letting an unelected billionaire fire cancer researchers and wreck federal agencies like the Social Security Administration at will. I won't be attending tomorrow's Joint Address.
