Maybe THAT was the problem all along, that the palefaces weren’t always that good at things?

Even some palefaces have been disappeared by ICE.
Being white is not enough...
We can be disappeared just for our words and thoughts now.

Gorsuch continues his project of "radically expand the power of the coercive apparatus" except for Indian issues, where his position is apparently "the white man's writ does not run, the palefaces shall pay for their perfidy"

NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
The Government asked this Court to stay the District Court's order. After the response and reply were filed, JUSTICE BARRETT referred the application to the Court. We directed the parties to file supplemental letter briefs on an issue that the District Court had addressed but the parties' initial briefs had not: the meaning of the term "regular forces" in §12406(3). In its supplemental brief, the Government argues that the term refers to civilian law enforcement officers, such as those employed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the Federal Protective Service. Respondents, echoing the District Court, maintain that the term refers to the regular forces of the United States mili-tary. We conclude that the term "regular forces" in §12406(3) likely refers to the regular forces of the United States mili-tary. This interpretation means that to call the Guard into active federal service under §12406(3), the President must be "unable" with the regular military "to execute the laws of the United States." Because the statute requires an assessment of the military's ability to execute the laws, it likely applies only where the military could legally execute the laws. Such circumstances are exceptional: Under the Posse Comitatus Act, the military is prohibited from "execut[ing] the laws" "except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress." 18 U. S. C. §1385. So before the President can federalize the Guard under §12406(3), he likely must have statutory or constitutional authority to execute the laws with the regular military and must be "unable" with those forces to perform that function.

I suggest 'Washington Palefaces'. Looks like someone already had that idea.

Plus a whole bunch of extremely cross palefaces submitting furiously from our work from home desks. Maybe we vote TPM next time.

I've railed against this apocryphal word abuse for years, and my gods it triggers some of my fellow whiteys.

Do better, palefaces.

If anything, the First Peoples should be rounding up & deporting the palefaces!

A slower introduction of settlers could very well lead to endemic diseases hitting indigenous populations well in advance of colonizing pressures, maybe enough for populations to adjust and recover before facing down the palefaces.

As someone descended from peoples that were enslaved on the one hand, and massacred for their land on the other, I feel an extra certain kind of way about palefaces calling America's history "great" by any measure of achievement levels.

Oh I believe its real... Wish this wasn't going on. Just as evil as the European palefaces murdering all the native people in this country a few centuries ago, b/c they wanted the land. 😡🤬

You took the decolonized story of an Indigenous woman, Zitkála-Sá, as told by an Indigenous woman, @sassymetischick.bsky.social, and used it to link to your colonial version so you can get paid.

Speaking over Indigenous people when it comes to our histories and people for money is gross.

Also,
her knee. Within the last two seasons my big brother Dawée had returned from a three years' education in the East, and his coming back influenced my mother to take a farther step from her native way of living. First it was a change from the buffalo skin to the white man's canvas that covered our wigwam. Now she had given up her wigwam of slender poles, to live, a foreigner, in a home of clumsy logs. "Yes, my child, several others besides Judéwin are going away with the palefaces. Your brother said the missionaries had inquired about his little sister," she said, watching my face very closely. My heart thumped so hard against my breast, I wondered if she could hear it. "Did he tell them to take me, mother?" I asked, fearing lest Dawée had forbidden the palefaces to see me, and that my hope of going to the Wonderland would be entirely blighted. With a sad, slow smile, she answered: "There! I knew you were wishing to go, because Judéwin has filled your ears with the white men's lies. Don't believe a word they say! Their words are sweet, but, my child, their deeds are bitter. You will cry for me, but they will not even soothe you. Stay with me, my little one! Your brother Dawée says that going East, away from your mother, is too hard an experience for his baby sister." "Yes, Dawée, my daughter, though she does not understand what it all means, is anxious to go. She will need an education when she is grown, for then there will be fewer real Dakotas, and many more palefaces. This tearing her away, so young, from her mother is necessary, if I would have her an educated woman. The palefaces, who owe us a large debt for stolen lands, have begun to pay a tardy justice in offering some education to our children. But I know my daughter must suffer keenly in this experiment. For her sake, I dread to tell you my reply to the missionaries. Go, tell them that they may take my little daughter, and that the Great Spirit shall not fail to reward them according to their hearts." Wrapped in my heavy blanket, I walked with my mother to the carriage that was soon to take us to the iron horse. I was happy. I met my playmates, who were also wearing their best thick blankets. We showed one another our new beaded moccasins, and the width of the belts that girdled our new dresses. Soon we were being drawn rapidly away by the white man's horses. When I saw the lonely figure of my mother vanish in the distance, a sense of regret settled heavily upon me. I felt suddenly weak, as if I might fall limp to the ground. I was in the hands of strangers whom my mother did not fully trust. I no longer felt free to be myself, or to voice my own feelings. The tears trickled down my cheeks, and I buried my face in the folds of my blanket. Now the first step, parting me from my mother, was taken, and all my belated tears availed nothing.

Racism is alive and well in the South. Nothing changes, but it gets worse. Interview citizens of the country's First Nation how they feel about losing both land and freedom to palefaces that invaded a virgin country.

You didn't make a "real effort" to tell the story of Zitkála-Sá, otherwise you'd have read her book, available for free online.

You'd know mother didn't want to give permission and that Zitkála-Sá immediately regretted asking to go.

She was EIGHT.

Nope. Bad enough we have to deal with your escaped descendents over here, what makes you think we want to conquer the origin countries. A lot of us with you'd come get your palefaces and take them home.

they take acknowledgement of their whiteness as an attack. to call them pākehā is neutral. it's the exact same as the natives and first nations referring to the colonizers as palefaces. to rewrite it as a term of endearment is to enforce that same bloody colonialism.
