Meanwhile, dozens were injured by Iranian strikes in Israel, as Tehran targeted a nuclear site.
Donald Trump threatened Iran in a Truth Social post Saturday evening, warning that the U.S. would target the nation’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz remained closed.
“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!” Trump wrote in the post.
Approximately 20% of the world’s oil passes through the the Strait of Hormuz, a critical trade route. Iranian attacks on ships in the area have seen the area essentially close to maritime traffic, while oil prices have soared globally.
Wait, Indigenous people in the US cant vote for a senator?
Neither do Puerto Ricans, Guamanians, American Samoans, or Virgin Islanders. Congressional representation is a bad joke, and the house hasn’t expanded seats since 1910 which greatly privileges representation for smaller population states. Gerrymandering is just a splash in the pot compared to how rigged they have the legislature.
We were promised our own representatives that we still don’t have. As you may be able to imagine, the white people who are elected state wide don’t always have the best interests of Native peoples in mind.
Yeah Im Canadian and Indigenous rights are not respected here either but fuck, at least they can vote.
Native Americans can vote in state and national elections and are supposed to be represented in Congress by the senators and representative of the state they live in, but they are not represented directly by a native with equal standing and their land and rights are usually not a priority for their legislators or states they live in.
Natives can vote in the US. The republicans have tried to make it harder because they vote against them.
No shit, in case you haven’t noticed, the “white” people elected don’t have the best interests of white people in mind either. You are barking up the wrong tree, this is a class war, and we are losing.
Hard to win if you don’t do anything other than SLAMMING them.
Whatcha mean? This makes no sense to me. Or I suspect to anyone with sense unless I misunderstand your seeming point.
