Kaifeng Jews in China were, for many years, cut off from other Jews AMD thought they were the only Jews left. Imagine their surprise when European Jews, fleeing the Holocaust, arrived in their town, speaking a language they already knew: Hebrew.

Similar things happened in Uganda and Ethiopia.

Even when Jews are removed from each other, we maintain our identities. We recognize Jews from other countries and we will share a history, language, songs, and culture.

when a government bans young people from using social media, and then categorises messenger apps like Signal and WhatsApp as "social media", they are pushing those young people toward using text messages, a fundamentally insecure form of communication. texts are not encrypted in transit and can be read by both the sender's mobile carrier and the recipient's. that also means they can be leaked in data breaches, subpoenaed, or just handed over willingly to law enforcement at the carriers' discretion.

hmm. I wonder why governments might want this

Something I feel is not brought up often enough in the discussion of land back and the indigenous genocide of the United States in white spaces especially is that they were running over entire sovereign states. The Cherokee were themselves an industrializing nation that was more literate than the United States itself before Andrew Jackson enacted his genocide, the Haudenosaunee were a state propped up by the west for a long time before they decided them to not be useful anymore, the Lakota were legally recognized as a sovereign nation by the United States government before they tore them down. Reservations today are still technically "sovereign" nations even if you never see them on the map and they're about as sovereign as the West Bank, they still don't get to govern themselves or return to their lands.

Even if they weren't organized as such the settlers still would continue their genocidal campaign, but it also further shows that at its core the United States, and the west as a whole, does not care about the sovereignty of *any nation* that isn't white, no matter their organization or level of wealth or literacy, or even if the United States Constitution was directly ripped from their own.

Idk maybe this isnt news for active indigenous activists but these were real nations with real boundaries that should be allowed to exist as real sovereign nations instead of as dependencies of the evil empire.
