🏳️🌈🖖🏽The GOP has introduced a bill to EXPEL Palestinians from the United States. I cannot read such things without remembering what happened to my own family after Pearl Harbor. After we and 120,000 other Japanese Americans were incarcerated in prison camps for years, without charge or trial, my own mother was very nearly expelled to Japan because of racial prejudice and hatred. Only the brave actions of a civil rights attorney saved her from being sent away. #NeverAgain
I have a lot of feelings about the new #Beatles song. It feels a little like taking something #JohnLennon hummed in the shower in 1979 and trying to sell it as a Beatles song.
@MattMcNeilShow did CNN show this kind of outrage when Omar and Ellison before her got these kinds of threats? Or countless other BIPOC, female, LGBTQ or religious minority MOCs?

The European NetworkGermany’s Antidiscrimination Agency has announced it will no longer maintain a presence on X, the platform owned by billionaire Elon Musk due to “the enormous increase in trans and queer hostility, racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism and other misanthropic content."
"In our opinion, X is no longer an acceptable environment for the profile of a public body.”
The agency was already active on Mastodon: @antidiskriminierung
Ars TechnicaEU warns Musk of penalties if X doesn’t stop Israel/Hamas disinformation
"Your platform is being used to disseminate illegal content and disinformation."

@[email protected] nope, from Minneapolis. I’m just a fan of Canadian trivia. I have some nursing union friends there, though, but I’ve only met them on zoom. :)
