There is no such thing as races.
Only people adapted to different places.
Why do we judge each other by the color of our faces? Before we understand their original places.

Suspended mayor lodges $1m discrimination claim amid corruption probe
By Chloe Chomicki
The Queensland Industrial Relations Commission is considering whether to reopen a discrimination claim from suspended Townsville mayor Troy Thompson against the city council.
Byron Allen’s claims against McDonald’s for discrimination against Black-owned networks in its placement of advertising survives a motion for summary judgment, just barely alleging a claim and just barely overcoming McDonald’s attempts to justify its ad strategies.

En Suisse, il n’existe aucune base légale qui interdise la reconnaissance biométrique. La mise en place de surveillance biométrique = les droits fondamentaux sont restreints de manière disproportionnée et sans bases légales. C'est une menace sur notre liberté et sa ne procure pas plus de sécurité.

From the article: "In a statement, Attorney General Frey said, “This temporary restraining order confirms the Trump Administration did not follow the rule of law when it cut program funds that go to feed school children and vulnerable adults. This order preserves Maine’s access to certain congressionally appropriated funds by prohibiting an unlawful freeze by the administration. No one in our constitutional republic is above the law and we will continue to fight to hold this administration to account.”

Headline: The Very Idea of LGBTQ Health Is Under Attack
Source: @bloomberg
From the article: "Amid the turmoil at the country’s federal agencies, a disturbing pattern has emerged: research addressing differences in the health and well-being of LGBTQ Americans is being acutely targeted.
"The Trump administration’s aim appears twofold: to deny the existence of disparities affecting nearly one in 10 Americans and to ensure there’s no paper trail proving the harm caused by policies that target the community.
"According to a Bloomberg Opinion analysis, more than half of the 550 grants terminated over the last six weeks by the National Institutes of Health — collectively estimated to be worth billions of dollars — addressed LGBTQ health somehow. (Columbia University’s grants were excluded from our tally because they all were canceled or frozen amid Trump’s claims of antisemitism at the school.)"

From the article: "On the first day of his administration, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the federal government to no longer consider a person’s gender and to recognize people as either male or female, as defined by the size of their reproductive cells.
"The directive served as a basis for a series of subsequent orders that called for defunding medical or educational institutions that have protections for transgender students, provide gender-affirming medical care to transgender youth or allow transgender girls or women to participate in women’s sports. Another order attempted to ban transgender people from the military.
"But some of those orders — and Trump’s later comments — lack context or include incorrect or misleading statements."

#Rubio #discrimination
Currently taking my employer's annual training on preventing #harassment and other forms of #discrimination. Yes, it's kind of boring to go through the same videos, quizzes and interactive text displays every year. Yes, I always feel bad for James and Netta.
But it breaks my heart to read the summaries of what's protected by federal law, knowing that there are people who want the power to discriminate based on citizenship and other categories, and people who are too timid to challenge them.
