@salcro5@AlphaNews You aren’t her constituents, her constituents are the people of St Louis Park who are pretty progressive and would understand not you folks who follow Alpha News
Every time you avoid something uncomfortable, your brain reinforces the idea that avoidance works. It literally strengthens the pathways that make hesitation, procrastination, or excuses automatic. And every time you do the hard thing even imperfectly your brain is building a new pathway: this is something I can do.
@ilovejerkchickn@Roger247_@ZaidJilani .. who passed down the language and also culture and no one who isn’t proud will pass down a language and culture
@ilovejerkchickn@Roger247_@ZaidJilani Either way in Milwaukee they had a German speaking newspaper for a while until after WW1 did it start to diminish and by WW2 and afterwards due to discouragement did it wither away , so if they were willing to speak the language it started with the immigrants..
St. Louis Park is the 20th largest municipality in Minnesota.
Did Alpha News report on the whereabouts of the mayor of Eagan or Lakeville on the 4th, or is it just the Somali mayor going on vacation that they deemed newsworthy?
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya refused to abandon his patients in Gaza. He buried his own son in the hospital courtyard after he was killed by an Israeli drone that struck the entrance of Kamal Adwan Hospital. He kept the hospital running through Israel’s brutal 85-day siege, and didn’t stop fighting for his patients even when the Israeli military raided the hospital and kidnapped dozens of hospital workers. For that, the Israeli military kidnapped him a year and a half ago, and now he's been beaten, starved, thrown in solitary, and is in critical condition — all for trying to save Palestinian lives.
In his last meeting with his lawyer, Dr. Abu Safiya said “They brought me here to kill me.” Dr. Abu Safiya must be released immediately, along with the thousands of Palestinians the Israeli government is holding without charge or trial, who are now at risk after the Knesset passed a law that allows the death penalty for Palestinians.
Kidnapping one of Gaza's few remaining doctors while bombing its hospitals and killing over 1700 health care workers is yet another facet of Israel’s genocide — and it is being carried out with American weapons, paid for with our tax dollars. Palestinians have survived three years plus a century of ethnic cleansing, genocide and aparthied. Enough is enough.
In Congress, I will fight tooth and nail to cut off the endless flow of weapons and American taxpayer dollars to Israel as it violates countless international laws and indiscriminately bombs civilians across multiple countries at once.
@ilovejerkchickn@Roger247_@ZaidJilani Not everyone is a descent of a settler Kevin Sorbo his last name is Italian, many Italian immigrants did try to keep the connection to their heritage/culture for generations, nothing wrong about it
@ilovejerkchickn@Roger247_@ZaidJilani This is how it started, at its core the debate is about if it’s acceptable to have some affinity to your heritage , that’s all, that’s the subtext
People are upset about the World Cup because instead of bringing the world together it’s another reminder of how unjust the world is.
It’s not a conspiracy. A Somali referee was denied entry to the U.S., that’s a fact. The U.S. tried to swap Iran for Italy, and then mistreated the team, that’s a fact. The U.S. president made a call to reverse a red card for an American player, that’s a fact…
From discrimination and over-priced tickets, to commercial breaks and VAR issues, many people who have watched and enjoyed the World Cup since childhood are more than disappointed. The whole tournament was tainted from the beginning, starting with a fake peace prize to gratify the host country.
@AccntParody@Roger247_@ZaidJilani America isn’t an ethno-state so it’s free to join, your definition will exclude African Americans and native Americans and perhaps you agree with it but good luck selling that to the public
@AccntParody@Roger247_@ZaidJilani It’s not even immigrants who talk above Columbus, it’s native Americans and their allies many who are white Americans.
