Creating a Positive Work Culture in Immigrant-Serving Organizations

When I walked into a local nonprofit helping immigrants, I felt the team’s energy and dedication. They were all about helping newcomers adjust to life in a new country. But, I wondered how they kept their spirits high despite the tough challenges they faced. These nonprofits are key to our communities, but they struggle to keep a positive vibe. They often count on volunteers to get things done,…

Mike Johnson Withdraws Government Funding Bill, Which Includes SAVE Act Just Hours Before Scheduled Vote

But the reality is that Johnson and his ilk have no intention of “getting there.”

Instead, they are content with playing politics and continuing the endless cycle of appeasement that has defined the GOP establishment for far too long.

Despite the clear urgency from Trump and his supporters, Johnson pulled his six-month stopgap funding plan after it became clear that opposition from both Democrats and a handful of spineless Republicans would derail the bill. At least eight House Republicans have already come out against the bill, all but ensuring its failure, according to CNN.

“No vote today,” Johnson told reporters, signaling yet another defeat for conservatives hoping for real change in Washington.

“We are having thoughtful conversations, family conversations within the Republican Conference and I believe we will get there,” he added.

“I want any member of Congress in either party to explain to the American people why we should not ensure that only US citizens are voting in US elections … It’s the most pressing issue right now, and we’re going to get this job done.”

But the reality is that Johnson and his ilk have no intention of “getting there.”

Instead, they are content with playing politics and continuing the endless cycle of appeasement that has defined the GOP establishment for far too long.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), one of the few voices still willing to speak truth to power, blasted Johnson and GOP leadership on Tuesday for orchestrating what she called a “fake fight” in Washington.

Greene rightly pointed out that the RINOs had no real intention of seeing this bill through and were more interested in appeasing their left-wing colleagues than standing up for the American people.

"The worst thing that Republicans in the House can do is create a fake fight that the base knows they’re lying about and frustrate our voters going in on November fifth,” Greene said. “That’s how you lose the House of Representatives,” Greene said.

“Just be honest. If [Johnson] already aligned himself with the Democrats back in May, did a two-part omnibus, just be honest and do what he’s going to do. But don’t have Conservatives like me that actually care about reducing our spending, that actually care about making changes, that actually care about doing the right thing for the American people, don’t make people like me go out and pretend like we’re fighting for something, because I’m not going to have any part of it.”

so cute seeing usamericans make fun of the uk riots or european "meltdowns" when it's quite literally their country's fault that there are so many refugees and immigrants fleeing their home countries seeking asylum in the eu and uk

usaid and assorted us/euro ngos were literally throwing money @ vzlan immigrants for basically coming here w no papers btw. the money is handed out by smaller orgs in cash, goes basically unaccounted for under the guise of this being some poorly organized/planned social studies or humanities research project and enables them to take unbelievably low paid + occasionally straight up illegal jobs bc theyre basically also getting a reliable and endless everything subsidy from us and european countries to live here and this depresses wages for everyone else etc etc. also having no papers or id makes them basically un-prosecutable in certain cases which is already a problem w like, illegal colectivo drivers who dont have licences and therefore just get no penalties bc of insane legal loopholes. source i simply know things and also i have eyes and ears.

Lol okay, I don't want to reblog. However, that one post my mutual reblogged how if RC set a story in Africa and everyone would complain about it not having POCs is wild. It's base on reality? I'd be more than giddy to play as an African MC provided the character and the culture is handled with care and respect it deserves (side-eyeing that one book). Hell, I recently listened to a good short story on a podcast wherein Africa is the one in power and loved it! Mei having only Japanese options for appearance? It makes sense given the context and setting. But fantasy??? A genre you can toy with in terms of civilization and customs? The beauty of different races intermingling with one another both good and bad? Why shouldn't there be POCs elves? Why does it have to be limited to Western rules? What's stopping you from (again, with the respect and care it warrants) to borrow elements from other cultures? Wouldn't you rather immerse yourself in that kind of world building?

I guess what I really want to say is the world has been diverse since the dawn of times so why shouldn't fantasy not be?

The mood was pretty weird while counting votes tonight. We were all... baffled? Baffled, yeah, especially at first when we were unfolding the votes and were met with party four, four, nineteen, four again. Wilders' PVV ended up with more than a quarter of the votes cast at our location.

We tried, but none of us could imagine what that guy would do if he were to somehow form a coalition. He has been opposition for so long that we had to wonder--does he even know? He doesn't have a party program beyond "fuck migrants." He relies on charisma and the neat thing called "not being in charge of the government people hate." Dick.

Anyways. Not happy about this at all.
