I got great advice from friends not to respond, but I couldn't help myself. What the absolute fuck.

For a second I thought about going so I can review them to filth but I love myself too much for that. Insha'allah someone with lower blood pressure & more impulse control can do that service.

I can only imagine you found me on here or X, but I cannot imagine what hubris compelled you to bring this to my attention. And please do not violate others who you identify as 'like me" with these tickets.

It's a GENOCIDE happening who gives a fuck about this NONSENSE?!

The British colonizers hired Christians for the Bank positions— one of many ways they did divide and conquer (including discrimination vs Coptic folks which continues to today). Anyway they decided to avoid further conflict with her & she was hired. Retired at 65.

When she went for that bank job there was a typist exam that she had to take. She knew she aced it. But she didn’t get the position. She insisted on seeing the results, but they wouldn’t show her. She submitted a formal complaint— very ballsy for an 18 yo.

Exactly! Or even on race - me recognizing that as a light skinned Muslim/ Arab I have privilege my Black counterparts do not. Like we are fine to sit with all of these different contradictions; we're raised to in a sense.

I think it's that they genuinely do not have the tools or will to center other people. I think about this a lot re "privilege" -- many of us have no issue talking about how we're privileged and how we aren't, but when it comes to racial privilege they lose their minds. Or "all lives mater" etc etc

I had someone respond to the article that I posted about anti-Muslim hate to say "muslims aren't the victims" because everyone but white men are. Genuinely they cannot think about anything but themselves. And that's how we got into this mess.

Finally there are lawyers who have tried to imagine ways out of our current system, an articles I teach imagines a fee structure — I dont know if I agree but it’s thought provoking:

I think that this moment with all the cruelty happening people are becoming more aware of how messed up the immigration system is to begin with. But it’s hard to parse what’s new and what’s old. I recently wrote this about limits of due process 2/
