A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
Q. With what the Germans, Japanese and Italians are trying to do to the democracies of the world — especially our United States — do you really mean you would permit your children to number among their friends any Germans, Japanese or Italians?
A. I certainly do. How are we going to live in peace in the world of the future if we cannot be friends ourselves with Germans, Japanese or Italians? I have friends of all those nationalities; some of them have fled their own countries because they were in disagreement with the policies of the governments of those countries. I imagine there are many people still in those countries who are suffering because they do not agree with what their governments are doing. If we take the attitude that we can never be friends with people of these nationalities, our chance for a peaceful world in the future is slim indeed!Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist

What kind of people is this trying to label or imply the entire demographic as something, triggering those people to respond defensively to the indirect, subtle gaslighting? And then avoiding accountability by acting innocent.

Part of my thread that's coming later this week will also discuss how being treated like shit/being disbelieved here (after getting swatted by a pathological liar who owns a huge Canadian instance, with a lot of ignorant supporters who seem unaware or don't care that their guy swatted me) - severely triggered my PTSD on being disbelieved when I tried reporting being SAed as a teen. I was bullied & ostracized for trying to report SA. People believed the rapist & not me. It brought up the same angry, disappointed & people are fucked feelings.
I had almost left Mastodon completely, due to that.The Epstein Files triggered both of those hella horrible life memories, again. I'd never been swatted before Chad Ohman chose to send that racial violence to my home, shortly after my Dad died. That night was full of unnecessary police traumas too. I'm sick of people pretending to care & I find out they don't, when shit hits the fan.
I don't need fake support. I don't need cowardly folks. That shit ends up hurting me in the long run. I don't need any fucking devil's advocates either. Go hang out with Satan.

“Accordingly, #dismissal with #prejudice will serve the interests of #justice,” wrote Rosen, who was nominated by #Trump to be #USattorney in #Minnesota.
Lyons said the agents could face termination & criminal prosecution [I won’t hold my breath].
The Jan 14 #shooting of Julio C. Sosa-Celis by an #ICE agent touched tense protests in #Minneapolis, where thousands of federal agents had been sent as part of the #Trump admin’s #immigration crackdown in the state.

A quotation from Terry Pratchett
Not for the first time she reflected that there were many drawbacks to being a swordswoman, not least of which was that men didn’t take you seriously until you’d actually killed them, by which time it didn’t really matter anyway.
Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author

@ellenor2000 having been queer-bashed, I do have more than a few thoughts about things such as homophobia, prejudice, equality, equity, and DEI.
The four paragraphs below are from a mid-November post in Reddit, <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1o3yuwy/comment/np4ov69/>. GitHub discussions make things difficult to find, so I'm adding a screenshot to this toot.
＂The offensive comment above https://github.com/orgs/X11Libre/discussions/211#discussioncomment-14919220 disappeared very soon after I used GitHub to report 'Hate Speech or Discrimination'.
In addition to the disappearance: other users' responses were suitably robust.
In the second of my screenshots there, Zotero, the folder name that's masked is:

This is today's code-generated texture, right after I read about these endangered words. I don't know what to do about it, so I'll continue creating things.

#Proposition6, also known as #TheBriggsInitiative, was introduced in 1978 by #conservative #California #statesenator #JohnBriggs. This #initiative aimed to #ban #gays and #lesbians, and possibly their #supporters, from #working in California's #publicschools.
The measure was rooted in the #fear and #prejudice that #gay #teachers would negatively #influence #children and #promote the "#homosexuallifestyle."

How people pick and choose which #Bible verses to take literally, which to enforce as #civillaw, tells us more about the person, than about God's will. The #Torah indeed is religiously amazing - but #fundamentalism combined with unexamined #prejudice (which we all have) prevents us from understanding it.
So on a related note, how do #Jewish people read the Torah?https://merrimackvalleyhavurah.wordpress.com/2017/03/12/peshat-and-derash/
