Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

I know we aren’t all fans of the police here but the difference between this and an ordinary police arrest or detainment is night and day. There’s no “You’re under arrest” and then sitting in the car while they ask questions. You are simply disappeared in seconds. No record of what happened.

If I post that same image of my dog and a toy on a review of the toy, the alt text will be primarily about the toy as it appears in the image.
If I post that image on a "show your dog's coat pattern" forum or thread, the alt text will focus on describing my dog's coat pattern in the image.

"Alt text is contextual" means if I post a photo of my dog with a toy on a thread or forum about digital photo editing, my alt text is going to very briefly skim over the details of my dog and the toy and I'm going to describe other qualities of the image, like background blur, sharpness, tint, etc.

When Jews talk about antisemitism on the left, this is what we mean. If you're defending kids quoting Hitler and making a human swastika, you're defending Judenhass and pretending it's really a totally justified critique of Israel.
We didn't "invite" this, anymore than we "invited" the Shoah.

Behold the difference between simply being anti-Israel(i apartheid and genocide) and just straight up antisemitism/Judenhass.

It's truly not hard to not post unverified information that comes from unverified sources. It's so, so easy to get an unverified claim from an unverified source sent to you by someone whose youtube channel is loaded with outrage bait and go "Hm, this doesn't seem credible. I won't signal boost it."

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate.
Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.
