Summary

Rep. Dan Crenshaw criticized Apple Maps for not renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, as mandated by Trump’s recent executive order titled “Restoring Names that Honor American Greatness.”

Crenshaw’s complaint reflects broader conservative frustration, as tech platforms and the global community continue to use the original name.

Critics compare the move to past nationalist gestures like renaming french fries “freedom fries,” accusing conservatives of embracing identity politics and culture wars despite their political dominance.

The name change is unlikely to gain international traction.

        Personally lately I’ve been posting explanations of the science of gender, intersexed people, gender dysphoria, and studies back them up to transphobes and following them up with a “Facts don’t care about your feelings!”

          Personal liberty means I get to decide for my body. And if you don’t like it well last I heard the supreme court and constitution say I have other rights to use in case of tyranny.
