(1/3) From @washingtonpost: Republicans and @realDonaldTrump are trying to backdoor language into a spending bill to let the Washington @NFL team to use its racist mascot and build a new stadium on federal land. @HouseDemocrats must stop this injustice.https://wapo.st/2zS3EVr
(2/3) This is a blatant attempt to avoid public debate & sidestep Democratic input by sneaking it in to a complex & nearly complete spending bill at the eleventh hour — & is the latest in a long history of dehumanizing & demeaning Native Americans @AppropsDems #ChangeTheMascot
(3/3) For 86 years @NFL, its Washington franchise, & Dan Snyder have exploited a racist Indian mascot, turning it into a billion dollar brand while ignoring the protests of real Native Americans. This action by the GOP & Trump admin must be condemned by Congress #ChangeTheMascot
Thank you for standing up for the public input of DC folks! Double thank you for being a #DCStatehood cosponsor! Hope to see your name back on that bill 2019!
My metonymic adage about this is...If the pen is mightier than sword. Is the pen mightier than the peace pipe? It shouldn't be imo.
Congrats on writing a great house tweet! http://greathousetweets.measuredvoice.com/BettyMcCollum04/status/1071586990494236672 … (Ranked 33rd for Dec 8.)
To me, the most pathetic part of the article is this: "While controversy over the team’s name has subsided, it remains vehemently opposed as racially offensive by some Native groups" True. Just us. So basically, "demeaning NAs" only matters when our issues intersect Trump/GOP
