Welcome to the new House. No women or POC committee leaders

#sexism #misogyny #racism are now the rule

No women will lead a House committee for the first time in two decades after House Republicans revealed their list of committee leaders for the 119th Congress on Thursday.

The 17 standing committees, whose leaders were selected by the House Republican Steering Committee, will be dominated by white men when the new Congress is seated on Jan. 3. No people of color were selected, either.

"Germany is putting a pause on issuing decisions on asylum applications for Syrian citizens, in a move that may affect 47,000 pending applications...France, Austria, and several Nordic countries announced similar moves" "Austria also said it...wanted to deport refugees back to the country".

Head of the Swedish Democrats (former Neo Nazi Party) said yesterday "it is time for Syrians to return home" just hours after report of Bashir Al-Assad fleeing the country!

The racism and hypocrisy of these politicians is nauseating. I have NEVER seen anything like this in the past and it is unbelievable that most people seems to be OK with it.

the fact that people are actually seems to be shocked about this makes me sad. After all these years they don't seem to understand how money and power works.

No one would give a shit about a white supremacist murder of an insignificant non-america kid.

Rich and famous people are click baits, and dumb people love to read about them and the media will do what ever they can to maximize their views and advertisement revenues.

And of course, it helps hiding their complicity in the ongoing genocide.

"This person is no longer at the firm. We do not tolerate hate in any form and take incidents such as this very seriously."

Holy Shit: Report: Sebastian Gorka is Trump's pick as as head of #counterterrorism.

Gorka has strong links to European far-right groups, supported Trump’s anti-Muslim policies, & said there is "no such thing as #Palestine".

#Gorka's appointment doesn’t require confirmation by the US Senate & enables him "to influence policy on #immigration as well as on militant groups."

I honestly thought mullahs in Iran were the biggest hypocrites in the world

Having lived almost my entire adult life abroad, I've realized that hypocrisy is universal among men, specially those narcissist assholes who love only one thing more than money, .... Themselves!

We in Iran didn't have a choice and fought and lost trying to get rid of a hem, but the Americans with all the proofs available to them and after 4 years of the orange Hitler and the apartheid child, decided that they hate immigrants and "liberals", LGBTQ and trans people do much that they elected this POS as president and worship the fake genius with him!

West Papua: Once was Papuan Independence Day, now facing ‘ecocide’, transmigration

Asia Pacific Report

On Papuan Independence Day, the focus is on discussing protests against Indonesia’s transmigration programme, environmental destruction, militarisation, and the struggle for self-determination. Te Ao Māori News reports.

On 1 December 1961, West Papua’s national flag, known as the Morning Star, was raised for the first time as a declaration of West Papua’s independence from the Netherlands.

Sixty-three years later, West Papua is claimed by and occupied by Indonesia, which has banned the flag, which still carries aspirations for self-determination and liberation.

The flag continues to be raised globally on December 1 each year on what is still called “Papuan Independence Day”.

Protests have been building in West Papua since the new Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto announced the revival of the Transmigration Programme to West Papua. (...)

The transmigration programme began before Indonesia gained independence from the Dutch colonial government, intended to reduce “overcrowding” in Java and to provide a workforce for plantations in Sumatra.

After independence ended and under Indonesian rule, the programme expanded and in 1969 transmigration to West Papua was started. (...)

Papuans believe this was to dilute the Indigenous Melanesian population, and to secure the control of their natural resources, to conduct mining, oil and gas extraction and deforestation. (...)

The ecology in West Papua was being damaged by mining, deforestation, and oil and gas extraction, he said. Mote said Indonesia wanted to “wipe them from the land and control their natural resources”. (...)

'I took several courses on North Carolina history throughout my middle school and high school career,' Dr. Crystal Sanders, today a history professor at Emory University, told American Experience."
