When picking your ideal ‘cultural‘ mix, if you think England and Ireland are a united culture and you can’t even spell ‘Scots’, it suggests that your grasp of basic history and geography may be fundamentally flawed.
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

The Women’s Institute was pressured to exclude trans women by the threat of litigation brought and paid for by JKR’s legal fund.
So now the newly trans-hostile WI groups are haemorrhaging members and many groups are folding, closing opportunities for all women.
