#China denies #oppression & forced #assimilation in #Tibet.

It denied curbs on #religiousFreedom, while stressing that #Tibetan #Buddhism should adapt to the #Chinese context.

It defended China's practice to take Tibetan children away from their parents & communities and put them in boarding schools, ostensibly to improve education for children.

Western govs & UN accuse China of #HumanRights violations & suppression of Tibetan culture to quash independence efforts.

"New House Speaker #MikeJohnson (R-La.), for example, said in a Fox News interview: “‘...go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it — that’s my worldview...”

Johnson swore an oath to a #Constitution that includes a #FirstAmendment that prohibits the establishment of #religion...

Which is his rule book: the Constitution or the Bible? He should tell us."

2/ From the article: “Holocaust survivor M. said, “I think twice before I wear my Star of David. I am afraid to go to the synagogue,” while survivor G. added, “Never since the Holocaust are Jews so threatened.” D., another survivor, noted, “The October 7 terror attack brought back so many memories of what I saw as a child.” https://m.jpost.com/diaspora/article-772348

Today marks 85 years from Kristalnacht - the night of broken glass:
“On November 9th, 1938, eighty-five years ago today, Nazi paramilitary forces, along with German civilians, burned and vandalized over 1,400 Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues. They murdered 91 Jews and arrested 30,000 Jewish men, sending them to concentration camps”. Jerusalem Post #antisemitism

@bespacific 🤔 Serious allegations of complicity of major news outlets, which certainly require investigation.
If photo journalists were even embedded with the Hamas terrorist & informed of their attack against Israeli settlements & failed to inform Israeli authorities of the Oct 7 attack they need to be brought to justice.

@tultican

Nothing personal but every goddamn person that uses "nationalist" instead of "Nazi" needs to be smacked in the head.

They are hiding behind this cute little name that confuses people and normalizes them.

They are f---king nazis. Make no mistake about it.

nationalist = nazi

White, christian.. whatever. They are f-cking nazis. Every one of them.

is it really biden who disappointed you, or is it a structurally unjust broken system which disappoints you?

The counter girl hopped right up when I walked in and was clocking in to help me.

Me: were you on break? I can wait until it's over I'm not in a hurry.

Her: no, we're supposed to clock out when there aren't customers

Me: oh no, honey, no. That's illegal.

Her: 😳

Me: not for you, for your manager or whoever told you to do that.

Her: it is?

Me: it's called wage theft when your boss doesn't pay you what you earned. when your boss requires you to stay here, he needs you pay you for your time.

Her: oh.

Me: here, this is the office number to an employment lawyer, call her and tell her you need to come in to talk about this

Her: I don't have any money

Me: we're gonna get your money, you already earned it sweetie.

By my count, the GOP has tried to reduce the salary of:

- the first Black SecDef (Austin)
- the first Black LGBT Press Sec (KJP)
- the first Senate-confirmed openly gay Cabinet member (Pete)
- the first refugee/Latin American to lead DHS (Mayorkas)

Sounds about white.
