Some immigrant stories never change, and it dumbfounds me how clueless most Americans are about them.
This one just hit me like a ton of bricks just this year. The mother of my longest and best known friend in the neighborhood from when I was age 4 to about 21 was the mother I knew best outside of my own. And I knew she was a refugee from Lithuania when the tanks rolled in during WW II.
But her story has most recently come out now that she's 80-something years old. The woman was a pioneer of American toy design and helped invent Lite-Brite, etc. She's had an actress play her in episodes of TV series on the History Channel, etc. Mind blowing. I knew none of this. She was just a friend's mom.
But her telling of her refugee experience is no different from what you also hear today, as with Haitians in Springfield, OH: companies collaborate with the U.S. govt for exploitable labor on the cheap for jobs they can't get any American-born to pull away from their video games to do.

Bizarre rumors which heavily clashes with an actual brain. This seems like a joke and was denied by government officials. It's hard to even imagine as all the infrastructure and central offices are in Tehran. Moving them to a border area is neither logic nor feasible. Makran being the capital seems quite odd while even the Iranian people do not have a proper understanding of Makran. Makran is a part of Balochistan that shares a maritime border with Oman and a border city being capital is a controversial issue, I say from a security perspective. Changing the capital has always been discussed but has not been implemented. Recent rumors say that Shiraz may be the new capital of Iran.
Something bizarre about how badly MLK got things on his day…
His infamous I Have A Dream speech quote, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”…
Conservatives embraced this quote a dozen years ago as a parry to liberal purity identity politics:

Today I can’t think a time in my life when character seemed to matter less in America.
