It is interesting how people think that Latin American original languages were replaced by Spanish. Even a simple AI search would yield an interesting result: there are millions of people speaking native tonges in Latin America.

Yes, a few million people out of 700 million would be around five to ten percent. Â There are less than seven hundred of 1,500 native languages left. Â Sad

(I am claiming 1,500 original languages, you are claiming 600 - it's our AI choice that is disagreeing - not us.)

âœ… Summary
Language   Region   Status   Time of Extinction
Cuitlatec   Mexico   Extinct   1960s
Otí   Brazil   Extinct   Early 1900s
Puri   Brazil   Extinct   Late 1800s
Kawishana   Amazon (Brz)   Effectively Extinct   ~2012 (1 speaker left)
Xocó   Brazil   Extinct   Late 20th century
Yagán (Yamana)   Chile, Argentina   Extinct   2022 (last speaker died)
Selk’nam   Chile, Argentina   Extinct   Mid–20th century

These are just a representative sample—fully listing all extinct indigenous languages would require an extensive catalog, but thousands have indeed vanished over the centuries due to colonization, assimilation, disease, and cultural suppression.

Interestingly, you have gone mostly to Brazil in which indigenous tribes are STILL being genocided.

Well, even Latin is extinc you know? I am not denying that there is a huge linguistic pressure on languages - just like there is a huge linguistic pressure of English in the francophone area of Canada or English replaced Spanish as official in Philipines...

That is part of social dinamics, but if you thin that 700 is a small number, I disagree. BTW, Spanish speaking Latin America is around 490 and 10% is very significant.

Just to compare, how many speakers of Navajo or Arapahoe are currently alive?

Anyway, when is the next ~~no-Trumps~~ no-kings parade?

Decentralized protests will continue.

The "No Kings" was a direct response to his military B-day Parade. There were protests before it like Hands Off (Anti Musk/Trump)/Doge) and the names will probably keep changing going forward.

I support things like Move to Amend (Getting rid of money in politics) and
Ranked Choice Voting ---I don't belong to either of the 2 political parties in my country (reluctantly vote mostly Democrat).

I went to a migrant workers rights demonstration in May and there were Trump counter protesters there holding signs like "Somebody Call ICE".
The division is getting wider and this left/right bullshit is actually pushing people to a side because neutrality isn't a luxury that we have right now.

They are excited about Alligator Alcatraz? Selling shirts? It is really difficult for me personally to have any respect for this level of inhumanity and Idiocracy.

This IS happening (I see hundreds of them in my feeds) https://ktla.com/news/local-news/couple-arrested-by-federal-immigration-agents-in-simi-valley/

The "Big Beautiful Bill" gives more money to ICE, gives more money to the 1% and everyday Americans will increasingly become less able to make ends meet.

The poverty, bigotry and gutting of education is on purpose. As we people become desperate they will continue to militarize our police....and...the cycle continues.

Manufactured crises, carefully constructed divisions in a [beautifully] nonhomogeneous country, erosion of persons rights... what could possibly go wrong?

The "Big Spending Bill" is just as you say creating the conditions for an absolute xenophobic dystopia. Firstly, the ICE will probably become the best funded agency, second it will allow the construction of many internment units (private prison de-facto) for immigrants, it will also pay for "the wall", yes the one that "Mexico will pay for".

This is about to become close to a Nazi state.

Again, I didn't... I just pasted from AI. Any bias or priority was assigned by the AI. I've been to the Cancun area and that's the limit of my personal experiences.

Unless the organizers officially announce a new event—perhaps tied to another Trump-related milestone or political event—there’s currently no scheduled parade or protest.

It is not very serious to post stuff directly from AI, while claiming that you do not agree or disagree with it.
