I'm appalled after 6 years of being introduced, the Bill granting State Recognition to the Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe is still misinterpreted

CALL TO ACTION - IMPORTANT - RI AND NEARBY
The RI State Legislature is voting TODAY (June 11, 2024) on the recognition of the Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe by the state of Rhode Island.
We need as many people as can possibly make it to be at the RI State House, Rm 101, at 4:00pm. THIS IS IT - call your friends, your family, your neighbors. Call out of work or school if you need to. Bring as many people as you can - kids, elders, anyone who's able to come. We need to make an appearance as a tribal body!
If you could copy/paste this post to your own feed on FB, Insta, Whatever social media - that would be super helpful! Please spread, we're trying to rally a crowd at the last minute.

The Seaconke Wampanoag tribe will be gathering at the RI statehouse on Tuesday 6/13/23 and Thursday 6/15/23 staring at 2:30pm each day - the planned demonstration is about 2 hours each day. This rally is to bring attention to the Seaconke Wampanoag's fight for state recognition by RI.

Sir Martyn & State Recognition of the Value of YouTube
I think it's awesome and culturally signifcant that Prof Sir Martyn Poliakoff (the famous fluffy-haired chemist from Periodic Videos) has been knighted, and that some of the reasoning behind that is his work as a communicator of science through YouTube. Like, one of the oldest institutions in the world straight up recognized the potential of one of the youngest. This needs to happen more often.
To H.H. Pope Francis, as a baptized Catholic I volunteer myself to be sainted for my miraculous works on Go Verb a Noun so that 1) the church can continue to get street cred, and 2) so that the Roman Catholic church can one up the Church of England. (I was gonna go for bishop or cardinal but I've yet to hear anything about saints having to be celibate)

For now at least, Utah's state government won't recognize the marriages of about 1,000 newly married same-sex couples, the governor's office announced on Wednesday. On December 20th, a federal judge decided that the state's same-sex marriage ban was unconstitutional, allowing any eligible couple in the state — gay or straight — to marry, until the Supreme Court issued a stay on that decision on Monday. Based on counsel from the Attorney General's Office regarding the Supreme Court decision, state recognition of same-sex marital status is ON HOLD until further notice. The intent of this communication is to direct state agency compliance with current laws that prohibit the state from recognizing same-sex marriages. Source: The Atlantic Wire [view]
