Maybe you’re familiar with Hindutva Watch? They and the center for the study of hate have been partnering with others to track the influence of RSS, VHP, and other Hindutva money on local community orgs and temples. I am working on something related on narrative capture in digital diaspora.

I have this awkward thing where spirituality surrounding anti-nationalist diaspora is to me the beautiful sacred beating heart of Judaism. Which made it such that my local reform synagogue was bullying me trying to get me to pray for the IDF and shit at queer Shabbat (so now I don't go).

Post #HurricaneMelissa, plenty on-the-ground mobilization continues in JA, with nuff efforts in the diaspora as well. Movement on-the-ground is key, though, pre-empting flights down, transfers to local agencies, etc. That can't best a car setting off this a.m., reaching this p.m. BigUp local actors!

We've seen extreme Indian politics enter some local Brit elections - it's something the diaspora really, really needs to be wary of worldwide

"Newsom vetoed a bill, SB 509, that would have trained local police on how to recognize and intervene when a foreign government appears to threaten members of its diaspora."

"Sikh diaspora in particular has found itself in the crosshairs."

Vetoed California bill divides Indian Americans
SB 509 proposed to train local police to recognize “transnational repression.” Sikh and Hindu groups were split over the bill’s goals

LEFTISTS: The moral Jew lives in the diaspora

JEWS: Here are the many foods we developed during our time in the diaspora that pulled from local culture while adapting them to meet Jewish needs

LEFTISTS: Thieves!

I hope all the Indian diaspora aunties I know who voted for this fucker are so happy with the exponential growth in anti-Indian racism.

There is a saying in my language referring to someone doing something self-defeating or self-ridiculing: Don't lie on your back and try to spit at someone else"

Yes, people can have multiple and overlapping ethnic identities. That's nothing new.

Speaking the local language is also pretty common in a diaspora - it's actually essential for survival! So is some in-marriage with the locals over long periods of time.

Israel sees itself as the embodiment of the Jewish people, and therefore, Israeli interests are the Jewish people's interests, and must come before local congregational concerns.
Diaspora organisations never claim such national, central role for themselves, and are therefore at a disadvantage.

I assume so? Lots of migrants get honours for service to local community and diaspora organisations, including religious ones, etc, would be bizarre not to count those.

Some playful lions from Chinatown visiting the local puja pandal. The Chinese (and other) diaspora in Kolkata is shrinking with time, so it's always lovely to still see the syncretic aspects of life in Kolkata live on (hopefully forever).

Civil in the local time zone, which is why Jewish holidays in the diaspora always last an extra 24 (or 25, depending) hours - to make sure it's celebrated at the same time as it is in Israel.

Between that Polish history class I took ten years ago and getting immersed in local Lithuanian history for work reasons, this kind of thing just kind of happens. In the 1930s, Lithuanian teams were coming to Cleveland to play diaspora teams at the local high school.

This individual apparently finds the Jewish language offensive and thinks we should all be speaking a bunch of different fragmented languages that are largely just the local languages of whatever population diaspora Jews were shoved into at the time.

By actually Fixing s***. Getting the grid back up. Tackling corruption. building an economy that actually benifits the local people and not outside interest. Bringing the diaspora back, taking care of education, restore medicare 4 all(yes pr had it from 1957-1993)

Talk about distinct Jewish diaspora experiences!

Rahm’s father was an Irgun fighter. Irgun was one of the worst paramilitaries within the Haganah, responsible for massacres of Palestinians in Jerusalem.

Meanwhile, his Mom’s family fled Tsarist pogroms, and she was a union organizer in Chicago!

I just finished the memoir Local by @jessica-machado.bsky.social and I cannot recommend this book enough, especially if you are mixed Kānaka diaspora with a haole white mom and Kānaka dad. While there are a lot of differences between her life and mine (see comments for the rest)

Something about the phrase "Jew Hater" makes me think that they themselves aren't exactly a stellar example of supporting their local Jewish community or the greater Jewish diaspora. It just sounds like a dog whistle term all by itself

Only some people left in a diaspora after colonization. Many indigenous Jews lived there continuously the whole time, that's why 40% of the population of Israel is entirely local in ancestry.
