  1. "The accusation that #Jews can never truly belong to the countries they call home is one of the oldest #antisemitic #tropes in history. In #Spain Jews were forced to convert to #Catholicism or face expulsion; in #France they were asked to #assimilate by practising their #Judaism in private; and in the #SovietUnion Jews were pressured to abandon religious practice and suppress expressions of #Jewish identity.

    No matter how long the Jewish community contributed to a society, we were always suspected of serving someone else.

    Time has passed and the language has changed but the accusation has not. For the past three years, I have seen this rhetoric become normalised. #Online forums and comment sections have become a cesspool of antisemitic abuse.

    Add to that a layer of #misogyny and violent sexualised comments directed at my partner, and even harm wished upon our newborn baby."

  9. …The proposed changes would put new emphasis on whether applicants would be able to #assimilate into the #US, directing them to take classes on “American history & values” & “respect for cultural norms” [you know which values & cultures they consider American]
    The proposals also advise #Trump to prioritize #Europeans who have been “targeted for peaceful expression of views online such as opposition to mass migration or support for ‘populist’ political parties.”

  11. For #Trump, the nation is less a #MeltingPot where #different #cultures combine harmoniously than a #crucible where foreign notions are burned off & a #homogeneous mix emerges.

    “America has always welcomed those who embrace our values, assimilate into our society, & pledge allegiance to our country,” he writes. “By taking this oath, you have forged a sacred bond with our Nation, her traditions, her history, her culture, & her values.”

  16. >> The Starfleet Gazette will not be endorsing a candidate in the upcoming election for president of the United Federation of Planets. This decision was not made lightly, but neither of the two candidates—decorated Starship Voyager Captain Kathryn Janeway or The Borg—has shown us a real path to endorsement, and we must stay true to our priorities: journalistic integrity and not pissing off The Borg. <<

    Well, good! Presenting both sides of the argument is SO important, especially when one side hides in darkness, constantly denies evidence, and wants to rule rather than represent.

    There are good people ... um, things ... on both sides!

  18. A school banned Indigenous students from using their language.

    A century later, it’s teaching Cherokee

    A precursor to Duke University once stripped students of their culture. -- Cherokee teachers are leading the change

    Between 1882 and 1887, some two dozen children from the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians were enrolled in #Trinity #College’s #Industrial #Indian boarding school.

    The school, which operated about 20 miles south of #Greensboro, North Carolina, alongside the college’s traditional liberal arts program, received federal funding in pursuit of its goal to #assimilate #Indigenous #students.

    The students, who ranged in age from eight to 18, were forced to work and wear #western #clothing, and were #prohibited from #speaking #Cherokee or otherwise maintaining their traditions,
    while other students who attended Trinity College were instructed in the liberal arts.

    In 1887, the boarding school closed.
    Trinity College eventually moved to #Durham and, in 1924, it became #Duke #University.

    ❇️ Now, the school at which Cherokee and other Indigenous students were forcibly stripped of their culture is being used to help revitalize the Cherokee language.

    The classes are important not only because of Duke and the Cherokee people’s shared history,
    but also because ♦️more speakers are necessary to prevent the Cherokee language from going #extinct.

    In 2019, the three federally recognized Cherokee tribes declared a state of emergency for the language.

    “There are approximately 2,000 fluent first-language Cherokee speakers left,
    and each Cherokee tribe is
    💥losing fluent speakers at faster rates than new Cherokee speakers are developed,” 💥
    the declaration reads.

    Duke is partnering with #Vanderbilt University in Tennessee and the University of #Virginia for the promotion of 🔸less commonly taught languages, 🔸
    such as #Haitian Creole, #Turkish and #Malagasy.

    The Cherokee language classes mark the first time an Indigenous American language is being taught at Duke

  20. The 100th anniversary of the #Indian #Citizenship #Act has garnered little fanfare.
    Only a handful of news articles and events have commemorated the centennial of the law giving U.S. citizenship to Native Americans.

    Perhaps that’s unsurprising. The legislation has little relevance to most American citizens,
    and many Native Americans were dismayed when President Calvin Coolidge signed it into law in June 1924.

    🔸American citizenship was not an aspiration for the first peoples of the United States, whose primary political allegiance was to their own nations.
    🔸Meanwhile, the Indian Citizenship Act was not a gift or benefit to Native Americans.
    ♦️It was part of a #coercive larger effort to #assimilate #Native #Americans into U.S. society.

    From nation to assimilation
    For centuries after Europeans colonized North America in the 16th century, Native Americans sought to remain separate and distinct from the settlers.
    For a while, the U.S. government reinforced that intentional separation.
    🔸From 1820 to 1850, the federal government had a policy of forcibly removing Native Americans from their homelands and segregating them on reservations in the Indian Territory, now known as Oklahoma.
    🔸By keeping Native Americans far from towns and cities, the U.S. hoped to maintain the distinct identities of tribes as sovereign nations
    – and ensure Native peoples remained non-Americans.
    ♦️As U.S. ambitions for expansion drove the new nation to push farther west, however, the nation began working to assimilate Native people into American society.
    ♦️The U.S. wanted more land, including in the Indian Territory.

  25. Traditional & cultural keepers of own peoples - we act & speak differently than our #colonized relations. You can recognize it by our fierce will to be vocal against continued #ecocide & #CulturalGenocide on our ppls. Including trying to #assimilate us & trying to make our #distinct #languages #obselete / #extinct . I often feel alone here, on #VancouverIsland because there's no other #Teochew ppls here except for my family & about 16 others. Vancouver ppls sold out & might as well be white now.

  26. @zef
    Oh, then that's definitely a more interesting idea, but I think you'd have to figure out how to #assimilate all human brains into a #Borg #HiveMind first. Which (if #Elon gets his way, and is allowed to start implanting a Neuralink in every human at birth) might just be feasible in the not-so-distant future. #SilverLining?

  29. @Onemeatball Good on you and I hope your colleagues continue to support you! My experience as a #BlackWomaninTech is that companies ask you to show up authentically, but what they mean is to #assimilate and #integrate lest you cause discomfort to the dominant #caste. So you can be #authentic as long as you are striving towards modeling the behaviors of cishet white extroverted folks.

    teaching the iterdimensional aliens about our perversions and fears can only be of great benefit to all of us.
