Aw, I love when I catch neighbourhood bunnies. I'm sure Clover would also be welcome at !bun_alert_system@lemmy.sdf.org (if you haven't posted there already, that is).

I think you're thinking of Karoline Leavitt. There are memes about that for her, I think.

I know you're referring to the folks referenced in the topic, but it's best not to put that as a general statement. I'm not going to comment on political inclusivity, but there are still ways to be more inclusive and broaden perspectives. For example, a lot of women feel unwelcome here, and probably a lot of people from the disabled community, among others.

Sounds like the start of Cory Doctorow's book Radicalized.

More likely she grew up in an environment where this type of thinking was normalized, and to think otherwise was met with social consequences. Outside of a few breakout individuals, most have to be taught early not to take what they're told for granted.

The UN has expressed concerns about Canada designating the US a safe country and asked our government to stop this. I'd be surprised though, if either major party listens to them about it. :/

I suspect wealthy travelers and Trump supporters with money will just be overrepresented, but I hope the attendance is somehow better at the non-US games.

There are grassroots support movements and even legal assistance. You just won't likely hear about them in establishment media (probably because they don't expect their intended audience to be in a financial position where they might need it). Even with smaller news sources that focus on talking primarily to activists and/or the actual people affected by the issues (like Status Coup News), folks only briefly touch on it. This is where local news has an opportunity to shine (even if it usually doesn't).

Wasn't Dachau mostly political prisoners? Guantanamo Bay might qualify better for that comparison.

I don't remember seeing the Japanese flag with China on that one. Wow, that must have been received well by certain populations at the time. (Not something I'd joke about at least, even if relations have improved.)

I was following this and was sad to hear about this happening despite excellent counterarguments from people like Zarah Sultana. These are scary times, but I was encouraged there was at least this response yesterday (just watch the first ~45 seconds): Invidious | ~Youtube~

The more it happens, the more they'll be likely to see.
