lslamic State was defeated. Now who will pay to rebuild Iraq?

Three years of war devastated much of northern and western Iraq. Baghdad estimates $100 billion is needed nationwide to rebuild. Local leaders in Mosul, the biggest city held by lS, say that amount is needed to rehabilitate their city alone.

Nearly every city or town in former lS territory needs repair to one degree or another. The longer it takes, the longer many of those who fled lS or the fighting remain uprooted. While 2.7 million Iraqis have returned to lands seized back from the militants, more than 3 million others cannot and they languish in camps. Worst hit is Mosul; the U.N. estimates 40,000 homes there need to be rebuilt or restored, and some 600,000 residents have been unable to return to the city, once home to around 2 million people.

HEY FCC

I’m not even from the USA, and sure I consume content from there, the Net Neutrality death won’t affect me THAT MUCH. BUT, I’m empathetic enough to realise that it will ruin MILLIONS of lives! Not online relationships and friendships, BUT ACTUAL LIVES. How many people work through the internet? How many people apply to jobs/uni through the internet? How many people appoint for organ donations online? Destroying Net Neutrality will only cause more and more unemployment in your country and kill millions of people, STOP BEING GREEDY AND LET THE INTERNET LIVE

EDIT: DON’T JUST LIKE IT! REBLOG IT!! Who care if it doesn’t match your theme?? If Net Neutrality dies is possible that people won’t see it!! Tag it and delete it in the future but SOPREAD IT LIKE THE PLAGUE

Yesturday in the Bay Area, a racist white man was verbally abusing and assaulted an Asian man TWICE and nobody on the transit did anything. People around him even got up and walked away. The Asian man was then called the N-word.

After getting assaulted the second time, the Asian man gets up to defend himself then everyone wants to calm things down and stop him from beating the racist’s ass. Why? Was the racist man going on his racist charade and assaulting an Asian man twice not enough to step in?

Everytime people do some bullshit like this and stop a racist from getting their ass beat, they’re only helping the racist. EVERY racist deserves to get their ass beat if not worse. Fuck calling the police. Fuck the “it’s not worth it” bullshit. Fuck being the “bigger” person. The only way to solve a problem with a violent racist is with physical self-defense. Words don’t work anymore. So punch and beat the fuck out of a racist.

“The failure to see non-whites as fully American has real ramifications for non-whites in politics and policy. Whites who feel threatened by non-whites gaining freedom, power, authority, or autonomy seem to turn to slogans that urge America’s return to whiteness.”

The author of the story, Kevin Kwan, reportedly felt pressure to whitewash his characters. EW writes that “during one early meeting with one potential producer who wanted to adapt the novel, Kwan says he was even asked to reimagine his protagonist as a white woman. “I was like, ‘Well, you’ve missed the point completely,’ ” he recalls. “I said, ‘No, thank you.’

”Ultimately, the movie may be about Asian people, but its themes are universal. [ Jon M.] Chu says that "it’s just such a beautiful story, to show an Asian-American immigrant going back to Asia and finding the things that overlap and connect us all, things like family, things like love.”
