Fittingly “remigrate” autocorrects to “denigrate”
As a person who has been studying extreme far right ideologies for the last decade (and did a PhD on immigration) I find the entrance of “remigration” into the mainstream American political lexicon so profoundly disturbing

Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.
His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.
A true hero.

Wishing him a quick recovery. The world needs such heroes.
Der Held heißt es Ahmed al Ahmed, ein 43-jähriger Obstladenbesitzer. Laut seinem Cousins Mustafa wird er zur Zeit noch an seinen Schussverletzungen operiert.

we stand with Ukraine and the future of europe
Zelensky: Tomorrow we’ll meet with the “Coalition of the Willing”, over 30 countries working with Ukraine for security on land, in the sky, and at sea. We’re also coordinating with Europe next week. Every visit and negotiation delivers concrete defense results. The EU is also stepping up sanctions.

In addition to Hamas and PA recognition of Israel, there’s a practical issue of defining Palestine. Is it Gaza and WB? Bifurcated governments?
And while we all agree the situation is untenable, we still have R2S calls. No such policy for the US, Canada, Australia, NZ, Lebanon…

I trashed James Thurber in a previous post, so now it's time to say something nice about another writer. If you've ever enjoyed Ray Bradbury, you need to read this beautiful story about when he met the real Mr. Electro.

And the rest of the world asks for the 69,420th time - why did they vote for this scumbag. Twice.
It shouldn’t take nineteen clips to prove the point, but here they are anyway.
Montage of 19 clips of Trump insulting, berating, demeaning and attacking female reporters over the past few months. Part 1.

Lest we forget. Extremism has grown to be the 2nd greatest threat to democracy, after rampant inequality.
In the 2015 attacks, 130 people were killed, including at the Bataclan concert hall. France is still wrestling with how to remember the deadliest attack on its soil in modern history and how to live with it. n.pr/4p8ImsU
