Once we have established an irrational fear of an entire group of people, it is easier to acquiesce to conditions that are discriminatory, cruel, and inhumane. Such a culture of fear fosters anti-Muslim racism, where the fictitious "Muslim" category is arbitrarily formed within the racist imagination. Random subjective, markers, such as brown skin color, different clothing styles, beards, hijabs, accents, etc. form an illogical category in the minds of the anti-Muslim racist and ensures that we treat our Muslim citizens as perpetual outsiders. This is because if we follow the faulty logic that there is something about Islam that makes it violent, then any Muslim-and thus all Muslims-are potential terrorists. Muslims, including Muslim Americans and Muslim immigrants, would then be forced to split off parts of ourselves that might appear to others as unpatriotic.

I started caring for plants that others were giving away. I even opted for plants that have no food utility or flower just so I am not striving towards a specific outcome and I don’t feel like a failure if they fail to ‘bloom.’ Currently have a large collection of random plants that I retreat to

Elect better ppl in the mid term. Better humans. We have to draw a moral line in the sand, and if that line is not a genocide, then what is it?

Elect decent people with a conscience - This was Biden's genocide, Democrat approved; now Trump will 'rebuild' this "phenomenal location on the sea, best weather" where his son in law doubled his stake in a company that makes money from furthering illegal Israeli settlements.

It’s like they all get the same memo … or most anyway

No idea y! Hopefully it resolves soon
