Dear Friend,

This came as a shock even for me, and I thought I'd seen it all.

As part of our investigation into Walt Disney Company's hiring practices and inside culture, we found a shocking policy buried within its internal documents.

Under the headline: “Support for the transgender and non-binary children or teens in your life,” Disney’s healthcare documents stated:

"Rest assured, we're here to support and guide you and your family through the important decisions involved in your child's transition. Your plan offers the following gender-affirming and non-binary care for children and adolescents:  Counseling Puberty blockers Prescription coverage Provider referrals”  Read that headline again. Notice it says, “children OR teens”?

Let that sink in . . . we’re talking children.

Watch our video here, and please donate to support our work.

As part of this investigation, this saddens me for a number of reasons, but it hits home when you read the words of Walt Disney, Disney's creator.

Walt knew children. He knew kids were strong, resilient, and intelligent.

Here’s a quote from Mr. Disney that struck me:  ❝But I don’t believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn't treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should.

Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature. Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows.

Most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favor by trying to shield him from reality.  The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil, and that is what our pictures attempt to do. How would Mr. Disney feel if he were alive today to see this? Would he think his company was supporting a child's growth in "mental stature" by assisting the transition of a boy who went through a dress-up phase?

Would Walt believe it’s right to give puberty blockers to a little girl who didn’t like dressing up as a Disney Princess?

You can judge for yourself, but I know with certainty that Walt Disney was correct when he said, "Good can always triumph over evil.”

This is why I do what I do, and I am grateful for your support, which enables me to keep going and triumph over evil. 

We both know that evil is out there; it is endless, and it's my job to expose it. So please, help me and my team at OMG keep going by supporting our work.

Our investigation into the Walt Disney Company was expensive, as the regular, coast-to-coast travel cost us a great deal of money.

I'm raising $33,200 within the next seven days to cover our costs and pay for the next investigation. Will you chip in whatever you can afford to help?

Thank you for your time, attention, and support, and as always, stay tuned.

In Truth,

P.S. Our investigation into Disney continues while we expose blatant money laundering among Democratic candidates through Act Blue. Whistleblowers keep flowing in from places you would never expect. Our workload is exceptionally high, and I would like your help to cover our costs and add additional team members to OMG.  So please donate today after you watch our latest expose on Disney.

𝐕𝐈𝐊𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐘𝐀 𝐕𝐀𝐇𝐋.

— BASICS

Name: Viktoriya Vahl Age / D.O.B.: 50 (1974) Gender, Pronouns & Sexuality: Cisfemale, lesbian Hometown: Moscow, Russia. Moved to the UK in her early years, then the US in her 20s. Affiliation: Media / Civilian Relationship status: Single Job position: Journalist at the New York Times + University Professor

— BIOGRAPHY

To those well versed in journalism, Viktoriya Vahl has always been familiar. Made her name back in the late 90s, by scoring exclusive breaks that no one else was bound to get access to. Throughout the years, the ethics behind it began to be questioned; surely it wasn’t as easy as being at the right place, at the right time. Famously predicted elected Presidents for the past two decades. Famously, also, hasn’t revealed who she’d voted for any of those times. Through her intense, no-bullshit approach to heavy topics, and exclusive coverage of the most controversial shattering news of the early 2000s, Viktoriya Vahl became synonymous with unbiased reporting. Accolade central. When it comes to Vikoriya’s journalism, she’s collected appraisals as though she needed awards to survive. Journalist at the New York Times for three decades. As of recent years, has been lending her knowledge as a professor to the top NYC universities. Her classes are exclusive, and intense. Students who got in looked down on those who didn't. Rumored to have had affairs with students in the past, but it was just that — rumors, every time. (And God, how many men have done it, unapologetically so?)

Can be bought… but not in the way you might think. Viktoriya wants not money, she wants accolades. She wants as many statues on her shelf as one could possibly have — forever cement her name as the best of the best. Pulitzer short-listed a few too many times for her liking. A win, her ultimate goal — which hasn't happened yet. She’s unorthodox. Subtle as a heart-attack. Her students tell each other to trust the process — that she’s the best for a damn reason.

— CAREER OVERVIEW

1991 — Journalism @ Oxford Brookes University

1995 — Begins work as a journalist at The Guardian

1995 — Masters @ Imperial College London

1998 — Moves to New York to pursue a Doctorate @ Fordham University. Begins work with the Associated Press, writing about international conflicts. Her breaking of the news that presidents of North and South Korea signed peace accord, and at least symbolically, end a half-century of antagonism on June 13 2000 earned her a bigger and better offer to switch to the New York Times.

2000 — Accepts a position at The New York Times. Continues to write about international conflicts, but adds on American coverage — which that year, most importantly the Bush-Gore dispute for the presidency; one of the closest elections in U.S. history.

2001 — Becomes a war journalist, based in the Middle East. With her experience writing about international conflict matters, Viktoriya was the obvious choice to follow The War on Terror, on the field. Started when she was 28, and left at 35. Returned a few time over the years for specific periods of time.

2009 — Upon her return, Viktoriya receives the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism, and attends IWMF's Courage in Journalism Awards ceremony to collect an award she'd worn five years priror but missed by being on the field. At the Martha Gellhorn Prize ceremony, she Viktoriya was famously introduced as 'this decade's best female Journalist', which she took great issue with. That, in itself, made headlines of its own.

2010-Present — Continues to write for the New York Times, further cementing her name in the world of political and societal journalism.

2018-Present — In contrast to her once-chaotic journalistic schedule, Viktoriya finds that she's earned her place in the podium and that she doesn't need to 'hustle' the way younger journalists do. With a complex web of connections spanning across decades and different continents, the big and worthy stories come to her — instead of her having to run after it.

2018-Present — Starts teaching. Now cherry-picking her journalistic work, Viktoriya dedicates her time to teaching at the best Journalism and Media programs in New York City. She has also been writing more, in the form of traditional literature.

The Purpose of a Business 

          I’m usually open–minded to all arguments, but one argument upon which I refuse to bend is the purpose of a business. That is, a business exists for one purpose and one purpose only, to provide a service or product to the people or their representatives, the government for one example–no other. When there is no further need for a business’s product or service, the reason(s) notwithstanding, it ceases to exist. Its purpose is not profit; its purpose is not to provide jobs; and, most certainly, its purpose is not to fill the Christmas stockings of politicians. Its purpose, once again, is to provide a product or service, directly or indirectly, to man.

          I was viewing a speech on C-span earlier today by Senator Mitch McConnell, the Senate Minority Leader of the Senate in which he presented a defense of the coal industry in light of that industry’s current problems with the EPA–he called it “our war on coal”–not. In his presentation he used the testimony of a young ex-coal miner who wrote a song about coal mining, to the effect, saying coal mining is a “way of life”, and we should not decrease our coal consumption so as not to take away that “way of life” (I suppose the ecology notwithstanding). I submit to you, no business is or should ever become a “way of life”. Just as they have always done throughout history, businesses cease to exist when they are no longer needed, become obsolete, or a detriment to the lives of those whom they serve.

          Looking at the subject from another angle or perspective, in fulfilling its purpose stated above, a business should do so in the spirit of the function to be performed as well as in its execution, ethically and responsibly with the ultimate wellbeing of those whom they are supposed to serve in mind. Anything less is immoral and a farce. I’m sure all of you, by now, know that, under the Affordable Care Act, i.e. Obama Care, people with a pre-existing condition cannot be turned down for health insurance. It was reported that United Health Care has found a way around that law by dropping your preferred physician from their coverage. So, what is one to do–especially when your condition is serious and your preferred doctor is critical? What else? You either change doctors (to someone you don’t know and, worse yet, who doesn’t know you) or change insurance carriers, in which case you very possibly will be charged higher insurance premiums. Such action is not within the purpose of a business and is morally reprehensible. I may be idealistic, but I feel a business should not be allowed to exist if it cannot perform in a moral and socially responsible manner. We desperately need to able to trust those with whom we deal.

          Folks, this is just another reason why we need to adopt a single-payer healthcare system, i.e. Medicare for everyone–no confusion, minimal decisions, no muss, no fuss, and, for the people, no bother. I should also add that our proceeding to that end will go a long way toward eliminating our deficit, assuming we establish the same rules governing the negotiations of prescription drug prices as those of the Veterans Administration. This just one example illustrated by United Health Care clearly shows the road ahead for the Affordable Care Act. More United Health Cares will come out of the woodwork every other day. You can count on it. Those who have been blood sucking our people for these many years need to be put in their place, and a single-payer healthcare system modeled after Medicare is the way to do it. Relatively speaking, it’s easy; it’s simple; and it’s doable. Let’s do it. Write your representative in Congress. The Republicans don’t have an alternative plan to the Affordable Care Act.

Front row is great but race pace is what matters Leclerc | 2023 Austrian Grand Prix

Charles Leclerc was encouraged by Ferrari’s return to the front row in qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix but is eager to see signs their race pace has improved. The team has tended to be quicker over a single flying lap in qualifying than it has been in the races this year. Leclerc is hoping the team has begun to address the high tyre degradation it has had in races after introducing another upgrade for its SF-23 this weekend. “All the effort is made to make our race pace better,” said Leclerc. “So it is great to be on the front row, it is great to be close again to pole position or at least to be fighting for it. But on the other hand, we still need to wait because the points are scored on Sunday and since the beginning of the season, that’s where the struggles are for us.” “We’re very, very close to pole position, which is a good sign,” he added. “But we all know that our weakness is the race.” After introducing one upgrade for their car in Spain, the Ferrari drivers gained six places each during the next race in Canada to finish fourth and fifth. “So we are waiting for the race to try and see if we confirmed the positive signs that we’ve seen in Montreal,” Leclerc continued. “The team has done a great job by putting so much effort into bringing the upgrades earlier than what was planned, and that helped us also to have a good feeling with the car today.” Leclerc came within five hundredths of a second of beating Max Verstappen to pole position for tomorrow’s grand prix. He admitted there were a few points early in the lap where he might have found more time. Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free “There’s always something more,” he said. “I think turn three was not ideal, neither turn one, I had quite a bit of snaps [of oversteer]. We tried to add a bit more front wing for the last run in Q3 and probably was a tiny bit too much. But at the end it’s part of the game.” He gained time at the end of the lap in two corners where several drivers had run wide and lost their times due to track limits violations. Leclerc, who was the only driver who reached Q3 but never had a lap time deleted, said he pushed harder in those corners on his last run. “I pushed, this was my weakness for Q1 and Q2 and I knew this last lap I had to make the difference there or at least go for it and see what happened,” he said. “It worked well and I had two good last corners. But that was a weakness for the rest of qualifying so I’m happy I put everything together in the last lap of Q3.” Become a RaceFans Supporter RaceFans is run thanks in part to the generous support of its readers.

Small businesses shape the backbone of the economy, but recruiting top talent, especially the best, will always prove to be more challenging for them.

Protection from UV Damage: The coating helps prevent fading and oxidation from prolonged exposure to the sun.

Water Repellency: Water beads off the surface, reducing the chance of water spots and rust.

These products provide a professional touch to your car's exterior and ensure long-lasting results.

Choosing the Right Car Paint Products

With a wide variety of car paint solutions available, it’s crucial to understand what each product does and how it can contribute to the overall maintenance of your vehicle.

Brake Caliper Paint

Brake caliper paint is specifically designed to withstand the intense heat and pressure generated by braking systems.

Whether you want to give your car a bold new look or simply maintain the durability of the braking components, brake caliper paint is an essential upgrade. Applying it correctly ensures that the paint remains intact even under challenging driving conditions.

Paint Blending Solution Aerosol

Alloys Wheels Paint UK

For car enthusiasts looking to customize their vehicle's look, alloys wheels paint UK is the perfect solution. This paint is designed to be durable, providing a sleek, glossy finish that enhances the overall appearance of your wheels. The right wheel paint can make a significant difference in how your car looks, adding a touch of style and sophistication. Choose high-quality, weather-resistant paint that can handle road debris, moisture, and UV rays to keep your wheels looking new for longer.

Car Paint Aerosol Spray

Car paint aerosol spray is an easy-to-use, versatile solution for smaller touch-ups and quick fixes.

Tips for Using Car Paint Solutions Effectively

Preparation is Key: Clean the area to be painted thoroughly, removing any dirt, grease, or rust. Use sandpaper to create a smooth surface for optimal paint adhesion.

Use a Primer: Applying a primer can help the paint stick better and increase the longevity of the finish.

Multiple Thin Coats: Apply the paint in multiple thin coats rather than a single heavy one. This prevents drips and ensures even coverage.

Allow Proper Drying Time: Make sure to let each coat dry completely before applying the next one. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the recommended drying time.

Conclusion

Investing in quality brake caliper paint, paint blending solution aerosol, alloys wheels paint UK, and car paint aerosol spray can make a significant difference in your car’s appearance and durability. By selecting the right products and using them effectively, you can maintain the aesthetic appeal and value of your vehicle.

Why Choose a Car Wrap Service? nsdetailandwrap.com.au

Car wraps provide a versatile and cost-effective way to promote your business. They can also add a bolder visual element to your vehicle than a standard paint job.

Customers appreciate when car wrap service providers are transparent about costs and timelines. Honesty goes hand-in-hand with providing customization options and ensuring quality materials.

Design

Car wraps are large vinyl stickers that cover a vehicle, transforming it into an impactful advertising platform. They’re available in many different color and texture options, and can be applied either fully or partially to the car’s surface.

When designing a car wrap, it’s important to consider both form and function. The design should be able to be read while the vehicle is in motion, and should focus on simplicity and clear fonts. It’s also important to think about how the wrap will look in different weather conditions.

A wrap is a cost-effective alternative to a traditional paint job and offers many different design options. It can include custom graphics, artwork, and logos, as well as brushed metal or carbon fiber finishes. Wraps also protect the vehicle from dirt and scratches, reducing resale fees and saving money on repairs. It’s also important to make sure the wrap is easily cleaned, avoiding using harsh chemicals that can damage it.

Installation

car wrap service are a great way to express your individuality, show loyalty to a brand, or change up your look. They also protect your car from scratches and can be removed to revert back to the original paint. Wraps come in a variety of colors and designs, so you can find the perfect look for you.

A professional installer will ensure your wrap is applied correctly. This will involve cleaning and prepping the vehicle’s surface for application. A heat gun is used to preheat the vinyl so it will adhere to the painted vehicle. A soft felt squeegee is then used to smooth the wrap and remove air bubbles.

You will want to choose an indoor space for the wrap installation, such as a garage. Trying to apply a wrap outside is more difficult due to wind, sudden inclement weather, and road salt that can damage the vinyl. The wrap will also need to be free of dust and debris.

Maintenance

Although vehicle wraps are incredibly durable, they can be damaged by neglect or road debris. If left unchecked, these damages can cause the once-vibrant colors to fade or the material to crack. This, in turn, can compromise the integrity of the wrap and its overall appearance.

It's important to wash your vehicle wrap regularly. This can be done with a mild detergent and water or specialized vinyl wrap service. Always test a small area first to ensure the soap won't damage the vehicle wrap. Use a sponge or soft microfiber cloth and rinse thoroughly afterward to minimize water spotting.

It's also important to get any damages repaired as soon as possible. This will help prevent a minor issue from becoming a major one down the line. Taking these steps will help you enjoy your vehicle wrap's vibrant appearance and durability for years to come. A well-maintained wrap can last up to five years, compared to just one year for a car that's left exposed to the sun all day long.

Warranty

Vehicle wraps provide a much cheaper alternative to repainting vehicles.

Additionally, they can be easily removed when a new color or design is desired. This makes them a powerful tool for company cars, as they allow for effective advertising while also serving as a quick and easy way to personalize leased vehicles.

A quality car wrap will have a manufacturer’s warranty. These warranties are typically component based, covering the printers, printing systems and inks used to produce the graphics. This provides a more comprehensive level of coverage than standard graphic warranties.

In addition to the manufacturer’s warranty, a good car wrap shop will also offer a service guarantee that covers the installation of the wrap and any associated labor. It will also cover the cleaning materials and tools used to remove the wrap in the event of a mistake during removal. It is important to understand that while a wrap may be able to withstand minor scratches, any dents or damage in the body of the car will show through.

In his presentation he used the testimony of a young ex-coal miner who wrote a song about coal mining, to the effect, saying coal mining is a “way of life”, and we should not decrease our coal consumption so as not to take away that “way of life” (I suppose the ecology notwithstanding). I submit to you; no business is or should ever become a “way of life”. Just as they have always done throughout history, businesses cease to exist when they are no longer needed, become obsolete, or a detriment to the lives of those whom they serve.

          Looking at the subject from another angle or perspective, in fulfilling its purpose stated above, a business should do so in the spirit of the function to be performed as well as in its execution, ethically and responsibly with the ultimate well being of those whom they are supposed to serve in mind. Anything less is immoral and a farce. I’m sure all of you, by now, know that, under the Affordable Care Act, i.e. Obama Care, people with a pre-existing condition cannot be turned down for health insurance. Guess what?, it was reported that United Health Care has found a way around that law by dropping your preferred physician from their coverage. So, what is one to do–especially when your condition is serious and your preferred doctor is critical? What else? You either change doctors (to someone you don’t know and, worse yet, who doesn’t know you) or change insurance carriers, in which case you very possibly will be charged higher insurance premiums. Such action is not within the purpose of a business and is morally reprehensible. I may be idealistic, but I feel a business should not be allowed to exist if it cannot perform in a moral and socially responsible manner. We desperately need to able to trust those with whom we deal.

          Folks, this is just another reason why we need to adopt a single-payer healthcare system, i.e. Medicare for everyone–no confusion, minimal decisions, no muss, no fuss, and, for the people, no bother. I should also add that our proceeding to that end will go a long way toward eliminating our deficit, assuming we establish the same rules governing the negotiations of prescription drug prices as those of the Veterans Administration. This just one example illustrated by United Health Care clearly shows the road ahead for the Affordable Care Act. More United Health Cares will come out of the woodwork every other day. You can count on it. Those who have been blood sucking our people for these many years need to be put in their place, and a single-payer healthcare system modeled after Medicare is the way to do it. Relatively speaking, it’s easy; it’s simple; and it’s doable. Let’s do it. Write your representative in Congress. The Republicans don’t have an alternative plan to the Affordable Care Act. Here’s one for you. Monday, December 9, 2024, Jacksonville, Florida USA 4:27:09 PM From: Steven P.

Meduza's The Beet: Not Russians’ ‘little brother’ anymore

Hello, and welcome back to The Beet! 

I’m Eilish Hart, the editor of this weekly newsletter from Meduza that brings you feature stories from across Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. Not a subscriber? You can sign up here to join our mailing list.

Last Saturday marked the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Kyiv has stood strong for more than 730 days, denying Russia’s expectations of capturing the Ukrainian capital in three. President Volodymyr Zelensky also remains defiant, having spent the anniversary meeting with Western leaders and reiterating his commitment to fighting the good fight. “Any normal person wants the war to end. But none of us will allow our Ukraine to end,” he said against the symbolic backdrop of the airfield in Hostomel. “That’s why we always add ‘on our terms’ after the words ‘ending the war.’ That’s why the word ‘just’ always rings out alongside the word ‘peace.’”

But as Zelensky also acknowledged, two years of all-out war have cost Ukrainians dearly. Though the actual toll remains unknown, the United Nations has verified 30,457 civilian casualties, including 10,582 people killed. The number of Ukrainian soldiers killed has reached 31,000, according to Zelensky. More than 14 million Ukrainians have fled their homes. And this is on top of the human cost of the eight years of conflict that led up to Russia’s 2022 invasion, which had already claimed more than 14,000 lives. 

It’s difficult to wrap your head around such numbers, but each one represents an individual whose life has been upended or destroyed as a result of Russia’s aggression — much like the people you’ve encountered through The Beet’s reporting, from the elderly living in frontline areas to the residents of shell-battered border villages and human rights crusaders like Nobel laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk. 

In short, ordinary Ukrainians bear the brunt of this war, and they need our assistance amid growing fatigue. So, Meduza has partnered with Helpdesk Media and TV Rain to launch Let’s Help, a fundraiser aimed at supporting Ukrainian civilians for as long as Russia continues to wage war on their country. This initiative has already raised more than $58,000 and is working towards its next goal of $75,000. Recurring donations help the most; as little as $8 per month, for example, will supply clean drinking water for one resident of Dobra Krynytsa, a Ukrainian village home to 73 families trying to survive the war without running water. This is just one of more than 1,000 requests for aid from all over Ukraine — let’s help answer them. 

* * *

Meanwhile, in Russia, officials hardly said a word about the second anniversary of what was supposed to be a three-day job. Still reeling from the death of Alexey Navalny, the Russian liberal opposition marked the occasion in a state of despair, with some going so far as to say that hope for a different (read: democratic) Russia died with him. But as the author of this week’s feature has argued, Navalny wasn’t Russia’s one and only hope. And to portray him as such ignores the diverse opposition movements that have cropped up in response to the Kremlin’s war against Ukraine. 

These range from groups advocating for Indigenous rights and democratization at the regional level, to a battalion of Russian citizens fighting for the Ukrainian side. Together, they have coalesced into a grassroots movement to decolonize the Russian Federation — even if they don’t necessarily agree on what exactly that entails. And so, for this week’s issue of The Beet, we’re bringing you a deep-dive into Russia's decolonial movement, courtesy of journalist and political analyst Leyla Latypova, who you may know from her nuanced coverage of Russia’s ethnic republics for The Moscow Times. I hope you find Leyla’s reporting as deeply perceptive as I did.

Not Russians’ ‘little brother’ anymore 

Russia’s decolonial movement banks on interethnic solidarity in its fight against the Kremlin

By Leyla Latypova 

“At the outset of my activism, ‘decolonization’ to me was just about learning the history of my people and bringing the soldiers back [from the frontlines in Ukraine]. Now it is much more than that,” says Buryat activist Viktoria Maladaeva. 

“Now it is about giving a voice to Indigenous peoples, giving them more autonomy to allow them to be the masters of their destiny and the defenders of their dignity. I don’t want our people to feel like Russians’ ‘little brother’ anymore.” 

Once a co-founder and a lead member of the Free Buryatia Foundation, an advocacy group established to support conscientious objectors from Russia’s Siberian Republic of Buryatia, Maladaeva now leads Indigenous of Russia, a solo project aimed at fostering closer ties between members of the more than 190 Indigenous and ethnic minority communities living in Russia.  

“This was a natural evolution. We work to support and strengthen the ties between ethnic and decolonial activists. We can’t fight the colonial system on our own. In unity, there is power,” explains Maladaeva. 

With more than 23,300 Instagram followers, Maladaeva has become one of the most recognizable faces of Russia’s decolonial movement. The evolution of her work reflects the trajectory of many Indigenous initiatives that sprang up at the outset of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine and have since grown into a vast movement pushing to tackle issues of systemic injustice that the country’s non-Russian populations face. 

‘Oirats are dying there’

When President Vladimir Putin sent troops over the border into Ukraine in February 2022, many in Russia’s ethnic republics feared that the Kremlin would bank on using non-Slavic Indigenous peoples and minorities as cannon fodder in its quest to capture Ukrainian territories — a fear that materialized into a tragic reality.

Russia’s Defense Ministry last released information on wartime casualty numbers in September 2022, but journalists from the BBC and Mediazona have corroborated more than 45,000 deaths based on open-source information. In an investigation based on inheritance records, Meduza determined that an estimated 75,000 Russian troops have been killed in action. 

The majority of these casualties are ethnic Russians, but the country’s non-Slavic minorities and Indigenous peoples are overrepresented among the battlefield losses compared to their overall share in the country’s population, according to research conducted by Maria Vyushkova, a Buryat activist and research scientist based at the University of Notre Dame. Vyushkova’s most recent findings show that ethnic Buryats, Tyvans, and Oirats (Kalmyks) are the three ethnicities most over-represented among Russia’s casualties. 

Vyushkova’s analysis also points to a disproportionately large number of casualties among the small Indigenous communities of Russia’s north, Siberia, and the Far East, including the Chukchi and Nenets peoples, who are exempt from military service under Russia’s law on the rights of small-numbered Indigenous peoples. 

“This is a systemic problem,” said Vyushkova. “Some researchers […] choose to say that this is not a consequence of discrimination, but rather of some regional specificities and economic inequality. Yet, they don’t explain why Indigenous people have to be poorer [than Russians].”

The visible threat that Moscow’s quest to expand the “Russian world” poses to the many non-Slavic communities living on its territories catalyzed the emergence of dozens of organizations and individual activists from Russia’s Indigenous communities. With most of them working in exile, these movements initially focused on countering war propaganda in their native regions and encouraging and providing legal assistance to conscientious objectors. 

But after the Kremlin launched a mobilization campaign in September 2022 — which, too, disproportionately affected ethnic republics — these groups were forced to pour most of their efforts into helping draft-eligible men escape the country. 

“When we were evacuating the mobilized, many activists asked me: ‘Are we going to evacuate people who were in the army before? What if they are Putin supporters?” recalls activist Aldar Erendzhen. “I told them that I don’t care because my main goal is to save Oirat lives.” 

Erendzhen is a co-founder of Oirad Jisän, an anti-war and cultural association of ethnic Oirats, a formerly nomadic Mongolic ethnic group that numbers just over 650,000 people globally. The 159,000-strong Oirat community living in Russia’s Republic of Kalmykia is more widely known as the “Kalmyks,” an exonym of Turkic origin imposed on the group by Russian authorities that many Oirats, including Erendzhen, reject.  

According to Erendzhen, Russia’s mass mobilization of Indigenous peoples to fight in Ukraine rekindled painful memories of 1943, when the Soviet authorities baselessly accused the Oirats of mass collaboration with Nazi Germany and deported them to Siberia by the thousands. As many as 20,000 Oirats died in the first two years of the forced exile. (Before the Soviet Union’s collapse, in April 1991, the Russian Parliament recognized “repressed peoples” — like the Oirats — as victims of genocide.)

Though the Soviet authorities later rehabilitated the Oirats and allowed them to return to the re-established republic of Kalmykia, the enduring trauma of deportation persists. 

During the 2022 mobilization campaign, Erendzhen and his fellow activists helped to relocate Oirats unwilling to fight against Ukraine outside of Russia, primarily to Kazakhstan and Mongolia, where volunteers of Oirad Jisän established shelters for new arrivals and helped them find jobs. “I am against the war because Oirats are dying there. Every one of those men could make a meaningful contribution to Oirat culture, leave a positive mark in [Oirat] history, but they just die a stupid death,” says Erendzhen.

“I don’t partake, for example, in the establishment of volunteer battalions [that fight for Kyiv] in Ukraine because that is against my principles. That would mean that I am sending one group of Oirats to fight against other Oirats — that’s a fratricidal war,” he adds.

‘Decolonization starts when you travel to Moscow’

Not all of Russia’s Indigenous and decolonial activists share Erendzhen’s stance. For example, the opposite end of the decolonial movement spectrum is the Siberian Battalion, a unit within the Ukrainian Army comprised of Russian citizens with a notably high representation of Indigenous fighters, including people from the republics of Buryatia and Sakha.

The diversity of opinions within the decolonial movement also extends to visions of the future of the different republics. More radical movements like the Free Nations League call for secession from Russia, pushing for the complete independence of nations represented in it, including Bashkorts, Buryats, Erzyas, Kalmyks, and Tatars. Other more pacifist-leaning factions emphasize nonviolent resistance and realizing their right to self-determination through democratic procedures, and some entertain the idea of achieving greater autonomy within the Russian federative state.

However, what unites all of these movements is a collective colonial trauma: the shared first-hand experience of Kremlin policies that threaten the existence of Indigenous languages, cultures, and — as the rippling effects of the invasion show — entire ethnic groups. 

Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine pushed many Indigenous peoples into making activism their full or part-time unpaid venture. But for many, their personal decolonial journeys started years or decades before that. “Decolonization starts when you travel to Moscow for the first time,” Erendzhen explains. “You get there and enter a completely different world where it turns out that you are not just a person, but, first and foremost, a non-Russian, a non-Slav.” 

“[It starts] when you try to rent an apartment [and the landlord] tells you: ‘We don’t lease to people like you; only to Slavs. You’re probably also Muslims and would be slaughtering sheep here,’” Erendzhen recalls with a laugh, noting that Kalmykia is, in fact, a Buddhist-majority republic. 

Erendzhen’s frustrations and fatigue from racial discrimination boiled over at the outset of the war when he saw a propaganda banner with the slogan “I am Kalmyk, but today we are all Russians” on the central square of his hometown, Elista. Together with his team at 4 Oirad, a fashion brand he founded back in 2011, Erendzhen created a line of t-shirts and hoodies printed with “Nerusskiy” and “Nerusskaya” (Russian words for “non-Russian”), styled to resemble the script font used in the “I am Russian” merchandise marketed to Russian nationalists.  

4 Oirad’s “non-Russian” line was a viral hit that soon became a symbol of resistance in its own right; decolonial, Indigenous, and minority activists can be frequently spotted wearing the merch at protests, public events, and as casual daywear. 

‘About us and by us’

Erendzhen’s experience closely mirrors that of Buryat activist Maladaeva, who moved from her native Ulan-Ude to St. Petersburg in the early 2000s and then spent her student years living in fear of being attacked by far-right Russian nationalists. 

“We gathered for a birthday in a park once with our multinational group of Sakha, Kyrgyz, Buryats, Tyvans, Kalmyks, and others. Just when we were about to leave, [a group of right-wingers] attacked us,” says Maladaeva, recalling an incident in 2009. “I just remember everyone running [away] as fast as they could. Some of my friends ended up with concussions [from the beatings].” (Maladaeva and her friends didn’t file a police report because “it would have been pointless.”)

Dankhaiaa Khovalyg, a writer and a podcaster from the Siberian republic of Tyva also remembers how casual racism and random police checks from officers trying to root out “illegal migrants” darkened her time living in the capital. “I would return to Tyva, get re-Tyvanized, and then feel an inexplicable pain once back in Moscow,” says Khovalyg. 

“My mom once gifted me with her mink fur coat — an unimaginable luxury! I looked so good walking around Moscow in that coat, and then suddenly I got the feeling that I had become less noticeable to the cops,” Khovalyg recalls. “[I thought,] Wow! All I had to do was look rich!” 

Khovalyg is the host of Republic Speaking (stylized in Russian as “говорит республика _”), a podcast where residents of Russia’s six Asian republics, namely Kalmykia, Buryatia, Tyva, Sakha (Yakutia), Khakassia, and Altai, share stories about everyday life in their home regions, their family histories, and traditions, as well as the rituals and histories of their peoples. 

Except for a handful of other Indigenous-led projects, such as Asians of Russia and Komi Daily, most content about Russia’s ethnic republics is still produced by outsiders, predominantly ethnic Russians whose story-telling often lacks important nuance or openly exoticizes Indigenous peoples. 

With 15 episodes that listeners have streamed more than 38,000 times, Republic Speaking is the most successful podcast to date that was created exclusively by Russia’s Indigenous peoples.    

“[We have created] a base layer of content that captures the voices and stories of people from these republics without exoticization for the first time,” says Khovalyg. “Last year, I also launched a training course on developing podcasts for people from the republics because we really are lacking content made about us and by us.” 

But Khovalyg envisions Republic Speaking as more than just a podcast: to her, this project is “a unifying platform” that fosters solidarity between members of Russia’s formerly nomadic Asian communities by exposing shared traditions, histories, and colonial traumas.  

‘The key to salvation for Russia’

As Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine enters its third year and with no end in sight, Khovalyg’s vision for her podcast mirrors that of many others in the decolonial movement. 

Multiple activists who spoke to The Beet said they have largely pivoted to teaching the threatened languages of Indigenous peoples and minorities in Russia. Activists say they’ve also committed to preserving these groups’ histories, which Moscow has rewritten with the clear aim of whitewashing centuries of territorial expansion. 

“We are not fighting against the Russian people; we are fighting against the colonial system in which Russians are considered ‘a state-forming nation’ — against a system that discriminates against our languages, cultures, and histories,” explains Maladaeva of Indigenous of Russia. 

Together with individual activists and advocacy groups from Sakha, Kalmykia, Tyva, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Chechnya, Komi, and other republics, Maladaeva has jump-started several first-of-its-kind educational initiatives. Last September, the network held its first Decolonial Conference, which brought together activists, bloggers, media professionals, and researchers of Indigenous backgrounds to discuss pressing issues and strategies for the future development of Indigenous and minority communities in Russia. 

Last October, on the day when Russia’s flagship human rights group Memorial holds its annual event commemorating victims of Soviet-era repressions, decolonial activists and their supporters from across the globe tuned in for a six-hour-long online marathon where participants read out the names of persecuted Indigenous and ethnic minority peoples.   

The latest show of unity among Indigenous activists was the organization of worldwide rallies in support of residents of Russia’s Bashkortostan, where a wave of Kremlin-instigated repressions followed protests in support of jailed Bashkort activist Fayil Alsynov.

Indigenous of Russia and the decolonial community it unites organized solidarity protests across Europe, the United States, and the United Kingdom where ethnic Bashkorts stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Tatars, Russians, Ukrainians, Sakha, Armenians, peoples of Dagestan, and others. 

“If one nation faces injustice on such a scale, then all other nations should come to their defense and support the persecuted. That should be the norm. That is the very reason the decolonial movement exists,” says Maladaeva. “I am trying to change things, to give a voice to Indigenous peoples, to promote decolonial optics because that is the key to salvation for Russia.”

Job Searching Tips Those Of You That Work On Television

If come across you're sending resume after resume alongside phone still isn't ringing it's missing a competitive advantage. What your resume needs can be always to clearly show the hiring manager who you are, why you're probably the most effective at utilising do and in what way you're gonna be meet their needs. You have to peak the hiring manager's interest enough to see the call and below are some reasons why your resume isn't quite making the cut.

Actionable tip: Don't use the header at all, and only put "continued." in the footer with the first page. That way nothing critical is didn't detect. To free up more room on the page set your margins to three.7" on all sides Resume Optimization and employ a sans-serif font, like Arial, in 10-point or 11-point.

For SEO purposes, you'll want to change site post's title slightly because it comes on in position in Job Search Optimization results. Make sure at least one keyword is obtained in the meta title, but make sure it continues to be attention-grabbing. This may be a finer point, and if ever the post's title is already well-optimized you might not have to alter the meta title just about all.

Customize your resume must. You don't have to go crazy customizing it, but when there is a word or phrase that keeps popping up in their employment posting, include it with your insurance coverage.

Avoid getting your category links too large. Search Engines don't like crawling into levels ATS Friendly Resume to find your listings and having subdirectories which can too deep will affect your recommendations ATS Friendly Checker . For me, the most you should have is 5 directory levels deep unless it is extremely necessary.

As I've said before, every page that does have a title upon it needs a relevant keyword. Inside of the title you want to use your keyword and then maybe three more times throughout the page. The determining factor on how many times you make use of the keyword is simply by how much content you on the page. Take care not to smother or cram the keyword over the reader's neck and throat. Make sure its natural and has a good flow. An insider tip from me, refrain trying your company name as keywords. I'm only saying this mindful about may be rather a few people that can't predict your company name, so they really will cease searching a person personally.

This could be the direction the web is moving today, with so-called "Web 2.0" websites such as YouTube and Facebook advertised everywhere where users can also add their own movie clips, images and also information. Of course, web-site does to not have to have these features to use a CMS, but a content management system allows marketing is going to to grow and expand easily for future wants and needs. It is important you are and master how may be the to use your website using some years from now and in case you require a CMS or. This type of design usually comes at a higher initial cost, but will make all changes and extra work stored on your web site a breeze later on.

There's an easy way to see whether a link is an honest quality web site link. For a particular search term, if a webpage is in top 200 or top 1,000 in the particular website (Google, Yahoo or MSN), the links from those pages are true quality links for that search algorithm. Yes, a quality link on-line may never be a quality link for Yahoo and MSN. Would not find many or any one those pages from high PR directory pages may charge you $20 to $40 and also more to the listing. Main reason is plain. The links individuals directory pages aren't relevant to the content of those same pages. Links from those pages are high PR, relevant to your page, but but, they are true quality links.

Eleanor Navy Long Waterproof Coat

The Essential Guide to Finding the Perfect Long Waterproof Coat

When the weather turns unpredictable, there’s nothing quite as comforting as knowing you’re protected from the elements. A long waterproof coat stands as the ultimate barrier between you and a potential downpour, making it an indispensable layer for rainy commutes, outdoor adventures, and errands on blustery days. But with so many options available, how do you find the right fit for your needs and style? Let’s dive into the world of waterproof coats for women, exploring everything you need to know to make a confident and informed choice.

Understanding Waterproof Fabrics and Features

Waterproof Ratings: One of the most crucial factors is the waterproof rating, usually measured in millimeters (mm). This rating indicates how much water pressure the fabric can withstand before moisture starts to penetrate. A basic rain jacket might have a 5,000mm rating, making it suitable for light showers. However, if you’re expecting heavy downpours or long periods in the rain, look for coats with a 10,000mm rating or higher.

Breathability: While keeping water out is paramount, breathability shouldn’t be overlooked. A breathable waterproof coat allows perspiration to escape, preventing you from feeling clammy and overheated. Look for fabrics like Gore-Tex or other technical materials that offer a winning combination of waterproofness and breathability.

Seams and Construction: Even the most waterproof fabric won’t do its job if the seams aren’t properly sealed. Opt for jackets with taped or welded seams to ensure water doesn’t seep through these vulnerable areas.

Additional Features: Consider features that enhance comfort and functionality. Look for coats with adjustable hoods, cuffs, and hems to customize the fit. A two-way zipper offers more flexibility when you’re sitting or taking active steps. Handwarmer pockets, storm flaps, and internal pockets add convenience and protection.

Style and Fit: Finding Your Perfect Long Waterproof Coat

Length: Long waterproof coats offer the most extensive coverage, shielding your legs from the rain and wind. They come in various lengths, from mid-thigh to full-length styles. If you walk a lot or rely on public transportation, a longer length offers the most protection.

Silhouette: Think about what works best for your body and style preferences. A-line cuts provide more room for layering and flatter many figures. Trench coat styles offer a timeless, elegant look. Parkas with adjustable waists give you the option to create a more defined silhouette.

Color and Pattern: While classics like black and navy are always reliable options, a long waterproof coat can be a fabulous way to inject some personality into your rainy-day looks. Consider bold colors, subtle prints, or reflective accents to enhance your visibility in low-light conditions.

Caring for Your Waterproof Coat for Longevity

Investing in a quality waterproof coat is a wise decision, but proper care is essential to ensure it lasts for many seasons:

Follow the Care Instructions: Always check the manufacturer’s care label for specific washing and drying guidelines.

Top Brands and Trends in Women’s Waterproof Coats

Well-known brands such as Patagonia, Arc’teryx, The North Face, Helly Hansen, and Columbia are renowned for their high-performance waterproof outerwear. Here are a few exciting trends to watch for:

Sustainable Materials: Many brands are embracing recycled fabrics and eco-friendly manufacturing processes.

Packable Designs Long waterproof coats that fold down compactly are perfect for travel or unpredictable weather.

Hybrid Styles: Coats that combine waterproof uppers with down or fleece-lined bottom sections offer versatility for changing conditions.

By considering your needs, exploring features, and prioritizing style, you’ll find the long waterproof coat that becomes your trusty companion for years to come. Embrace those rainy days with confidence and undeniable style!
