“The lists found by maia and shared with journalists and researchers confirm the TSA’s (1) Islamophobia, (2) overconfidence in the certainty of its pre-crime predictions, and (3) mission creep.”

wait so you're telling me that the no-fly list is NOT public information even though it has THOUSANDS of names? and people arent notified when they get put on it??? im sorry what? thats so fucking ridiculous thats literally a government blacklist. do you guys know how bad that is. (and white libs wanna use it for gun control? yeah absolutely make it easier for the feds to racially profile and disarm poc, see how that goes).
EDIT: several people have mentioned that its. 1.4 million people. so uhm. what the fuck guys

Another bewildering assertion I've seen floating around is that the United States of America deliberately destabilises West Asia and North Africa, murders millions of civilians, destroys towns and cities, arms militias &c. because of Islamophobia. I assure you that this is not true and that no one who is serious about understanding geopolitics or Islamophobia has this analysis. Islamophobia may have early modern or pre-modern instantiations, but in its current context it is very much a result of and a rhetorical and social justification for the geopolitical, economic, resource-driven exigencies of imperial capitalism. You're looking at a cart and insisting that it is pulling a horse around

I still can't get over the fact that some people have a qualm with a Swiss person using "it" pronouns when that is a very common thing to do for non binary people here
Every time I'm in a queer meeting there is somebody who introduces itself with "es", we don't have native they/them pronouns, different languages and queer cultures exist like,,,,
And even if it wasn't common you people need to chill

(Edit, “leaked” isn’t really the right word, it has sent the list to a reporter.)
