The #StateDepartment Really Doesn’t Want to Talk About the Office of #Remigration

The office was created a year ago and seemingly named for a far-right #European plan to expel #minorities and #immigrants from Western nations. It now works, a source says, with little to no oversight.

"How Fascist Italy Nearly Erased Calabrian Greek Heritage and the Grecanico Language

Speakers of the Grecanico language of Italy in Calabria, also known as the Calabrian Greeks, were adversely affected when, during the country’s Fascist period (1922–1943), Benito Mussolini undertook a systematic campaign to establish a strong, centralized national identity revolving around the glorification of a unified Italian culture anchored in the myth of Roman imperial grandeur.

Calabrian Greeks in Southern Italy are custodians of a unique Hellenic linguistic heritage, which has persisted since the Byzantine era. Yet, in pursuit of his ideological objectives, Mussolini’s regime attempted to eradicate any and all obstacles to national unity, thereby effectively also making all minority groups, including speakers of the Grecanico language targets of repression."

"In the 1970s, in the wake of an emerging #secondwave #feminism, #women’s #magazines were expanding rapidly with a unique style. Their focus, however, tended to exclude #minorities. #Jewish women were seen as privileged “others”, not facing the same constraints as their #gentile peers. That’s why the #Winnipeg-born #SusanWeidmanSchneider founded #Lilith, a Jewish #feminist magazine, out of #NewYorkCity in 1976.

Lilith was radical in many ways, tackling taboo subjects like #abortion and #gayrights from a female Jewish perspective. Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, Lilith has persevered as a community of #literary, engaged and often mature #Jewishwomen, hosting salons and creating a space for Jewish women to express themselves freely. To reflect on its impact, #WeidmanSchneider joins #PhoebeMaltzBovy on this week’s episode of #TheJewishAngle."

"We are not homeless. We are tenants. The defense we receive is conditional on our usefulness to someone else’s larger story. The lease renews when we fit. It lapses when we do not. The landlord changes faster than we do.

Some #Jews trust strongmen and unapologetic #nationalists. They look at history and conclude that force is the only language anyone has truly respected. A people whose twentieth century included watching civilized societies collapse into pits does not emerge with much faith in polite institutions.

Other Jews trust #liberal institutions, pluralist coalitions, and democratic norms. They know #minorities survive not because powerful men favor them, but because laws restrain power across factions, because institutions outlast moods, because protection that depends on a patron’s loyalty is not protection at all.

Both instincts are responding to something real. Neither is reading the lease."
