What I don't understand is:
1. If you commit an alleged
#crime whilst out of the country isn't it usual to be arrested where you are when you do it & not where you're from?
2. If the posts incited #hate how do #reform get away with it?
3. As #Trump posts discriminatory & hateful comments, why wasn't he arrested when setting foot in the UK?
4. If you smoke pot in Holland will you be arrested when you arrive back home?

Accepting immigrants is one option, but I hope it doesn't end up like Japan.

Я сподіваюся, що прийняти іммігрантів є одним із варіантів і що ми не закінчимо, як Японія.

In one of the posts, Linehan said that "if a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act".

I think they have no right to do this and should loose accreditation/licences immediately.

She was the first #Black person & the first #woman to hold the prestigious post of commissioner of the National Center for #Education #Statistics. As a political appointee, she knew there was a risk of becoming a target.
But her 35-year career at the department spanned a half dozen admins, including #Trump’s first term, & she had earned the respect of officials from both parties.
In Trump’s Federal #WorkForce Cuts, #BlackWomen Are Among the Hardest Hit
#Trump has cut hundreds of thousands of jobs from the #federal work force, disproportionately affecting #Black employees.
When Trump started dismantling #FederalAgencies & dismissing rank-&-file #CivilServants, Peggy Carr, the chief statistician at the #Education Dept, immediately started to make a calculation.

One experience that I think most Jews have had post-10/7 is that of solidarity. The non-Jewish world is increasingly unsafe for us, so many have banded together. Babka Social is an example of that, as most of the new accounts we have aren't from people who want to try Mastodon/the Fediverse, but Jews who were persecuted on other servers.
This article about Jewish authors who have been persecuted or blacklisted and have come together is an example of the kind of Jewish resilience that we have, but I wish we didn't need.
