Is it an overreaction that this fuckery fills me with incandescent rage?
"Gosh, why are the mummy displays so dark and opaque? Must be the lights are broken. I should go tell them downstairs," I thought to myself while recently wandering around the Redpath Museum at McGill University. Then I read the sign. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

The Gateway behind US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ambassador Sergio Gor was built by the British colonial government to commemorate King George V and Queen Mary’s 1911 royal visit to Bombay (Mumbai). Built to celebrate an empire that ruled India, the Gateway stands as a symbol of the colonial stranglehold we fought so hard to overthrow. It also serves as a timely reminder, a resolve that the neo-colonisers of our times must not be allowed to undermine India’s hard-earned independence and sovereignty. India is for Indians first. Our energy security, food security and data security — as well as the livelihoods and sustenance of our farmers — cannot be sacrificed for a few words of American flattery to a gullible Modi.

BREAKING: Israel has banned United Airlines pilot Sina Amjadian from flying aircraft into Israel after numerous pro-terror posts were found on his social media accounts. He praised Hezbollah and the regime in Iran. Would United let him fly their planes into New York City?

The maharaja, Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja, the Jamsaheb of Nawanagar, was the nephew of the great Ranji, the first great Indian cricketer (who played 15 Tests for England).
The "Good Indian Maharaja" remains in our "national memory", says Poland PM Donald Tusk, paying homage to Indian Maharaja who gave refuge to Polish refugees during World War 2.

Immigration policy must be driven by the present, not the past, and business leaders are too terrified of the left AND the right to acknowledge this. Recent H1B discourse revolves around a longstanding immigration sleight-of-hand. H1B proponents point to exceptional people who came here decades ago as if they represent the current state of the program in the same way that advocates for low-skill/illegal immigration point to very favorable immigrant crime/welfare/education/etc statistics that do, in truth, have them beating native-born Americans on many fronts. It is all a sham. The world that created those statistics, people, and businesses no longer exists. Brilliant but desperate Vietnamese fathers who fled communism have nothing in common with young men from Honduras, and the crime rates/economic acccomplishments/integration of the former should not be used to justify mass migration of the latter. Nor should the accomplishments of people who managed to get an H1B visa in the 90s (when the program was capped to just 65,000 visas) be used to justify staffing agencies and tech companies using the program to replace American jobs for less money. The obvious abuse going on is politically suicidal and something that even the most ardent supporters of the visa should want to crack down on, no immigration program can possibly survive the obvious and widely known reality of what is going on. I am a longtime outspoken advocate for stealing the best people from other countries to make our own better, runaway abuse of existing programs robs the government of the worker trust required to do so. Lots of people in the tech space know this. Even the dumb people are smart enough to see it. Nobody actually believes these are all incredible people with unique talents performing jobs no American can. Everyone knows the guy in Cubicle Bay 7 doing mediocre but functional web design for half the salary of his American peers is no savant and doesn't meet the statutory requirements for his H-1B visa. Unfortunately, most people with power or profile are terrified that any public statement or acknowledgement will get them attacked by the right (You guys have been screwing over American workers for years with visa abuse, you damn hypocrite!) or the left (You are racist, sexist, misogynist, and sucking up to this fascist administration!). Or, more likely, both. I know too many tech execs in particular who feel trapped, like the only winning move is to stay silent. JD is blowing the whole thing wide open by putting facts and stats front and center that nobody wants to engage with. Critics will talk about anything and everything else but these damning facts and this obvious truth, that H1B visas serve neither their original purpose, legal purpose, invented purpose, or the American people.

As a Muslim, I believe in Jesus and accept him as a prophet of God. So let me ask you something. If I can accept Jesus, why can't you consider Muhammad as a prophet of God and the final messenger?

Can't believe an American university might hire a foreigner to teach ENGLISH literature.
Let me get this straight: Purdue is bringing in someone on an H-1B visa to teach........ ENGLISH literature and writing to AMERICAN students? There are American English PhDs looking for work, but this position is being filled through a foreign-worker visa

How is Palestinian harvesting of olives an issue that affects the lives of New Yorkers? Less than two weeks to election and this congressional candidate is campaigning in Ramallah? Anybody else thinks this takes populism to absurd levels?
