Gov. Newsom signed a bill banning a word as Californians suffer under high taxes and a crime wave. The word “squaw” has been banned all across California.
Our biggest concern is what will we call Elizabeth Warren now?

“In the central San Joaquin Valley, Assembly Bill 2022 should impact the rural Fresno County town of Squaw Valley. This “racist and sexist term” will be “removed from all geographic features and place names in the state, and a process to review petitions to change offensive or derogatory place names will be created,” a news release issued by the Governor’s Office states,” the Fresno Bee reports.
“This comes on the heels of federal action this month to complete the removal of this slur from nearly 650 geographic features across the country, including several name changes advanced by California based on extensive tribal engagement,” the statement continues. “The Newsom Administration has launched a series of ongoing actions to identify and redress discriminatory names of features attached to the State Parks and transportation systems.”
As homelessness is out of control, housing is unaffordable, and 182,000 people flee the state, Newsom’s banning words. Can book burning be far behind?

Another day, another violation of 1st Amendment rights. Welcome to Gruesome’s California!
Is Squaw Valley going to be gentrified? or sorry that is Nevada.
Under the First Amendment no word can be banned. My Grandfather, who was half Native American from AZ, would not have thought to get rid of that name. California is my home state and I was born in the late 50s, but moved out in 96 to the east coast due to business. Newsom is a waste and is just trying to score political points.
Native Californian here. Squaw. Squaw squaw squaw squaw etc. forever, it’s just a word, like fuck or sacred.
Sounds like a crow with a speech impediment. ;>) In the native tongue, which I do not know, I was told by a tribal elder that the word referrs to the anatomy of a female woman. Sort of like Quim in the Scottish dielect.
You were told wrong.
Should we ban the word F*cktard since it describes newsom perfectly?
