Thank you Greyhound, indeed! I saw some men in black asking passengers for passports and boarding passes OUTSIDE passport control at LAX when I came back in March. It was SIMPLE HARASSMENT, obviously directed at passengers who "looked foreign."

Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.

I read what Rowling wrote on her DV experience as to why she objects to trans women using girls' bathrooms. It was compellingly written – but of course, it's by the best-selling author of Harry Potter series. I got why she would not want cis het men in her bathroom, 1/2

The right to a passport IS a human rights issue. Iva Toguri, a Japanese-American from Los Angeles accused of broadcasting propaganda for Japan as "Tokyo Rose," was unable to return when WWII broke out.

This is true. What is EMILIA PEREZ "backlash" all about? Is it really about European males making.a film about Mexican women (I am a Japanese female filming a Byron story in Greece)? Or is it because its stars are a trans woman and a Black Latina? #thegiaout #emiliaperez #lordbyron

I suspect Am3ricans never felt the urge to examine their eugenicist past because they fought with the Allies. They might even consider themselves the "saviors" – it was a grotesque echo of this that we heard in Trump and Vance's demand on Zelensky to "thank" them, www.lemonde.fr/societe/arti...

I have been a waitress, restaurant cashier and housepainter. What makes people believe AOC is a "working-class hero" despite her education before her waitressing job; despite her urban professional father? Is it the color of her skin?

I arrived in LAX this Wednesday. Men with only "POLICE" on their all-black clothes were asking arrivals of color for their passports and boarding passes OUTSIDE the passport control.

Whoever ran Bernie Sanders (and Jill Stein) as spoiler candidates cynically exploited the culturally-ingrained antisemitism on the Left: "If he says he'd 'break up big banks,' he can."

I thought the Academy, faced with the choice between a trans and a Black actress, picked a safe third. But this is even more disturbing: a film that normalizes a world where a Russian-speaking sex worker is romanced by the son of an oligarch, and Covid and the war on Ukraine never happened.

Trump ad, 1987: typical Trade War rhetoric; ignores the fact that the U.S. needed Japan as an ally on the other side of the Pacific. The U.S. dropped the atomic bombs so they could land in Japan before USSR, and poured financial and technological aid to rebuild Japan's postwar economy.
