The Republicans have expanded the federal government over the years (eg, the Department of Homeland Security).

"Small state" is the removal of regulations that "hurt" businesses. The state, however, can regulate women's bbodies and promote "Christian family" values.

I found a figure of £10 million in London for September. Police Scotland was asked for a figure via FOI (they didn't provide one).

After the Bondi Beach attack, the Labour UK government wants to crack down even more on peaceful pro-Palestine marches.

I don't understand why people think they should show blind loyalty to political parties. I think it gives the political parties a sense of entitlement to our votes without EARNING the votes.

I am in the process of unlearning the racism I was taught, directly and indirectly. It is a process that won't end because I am not always aware of structural racism.

Another US import.
They aren't concerned about Christianity or following Christ's teachings.

I did find the questions particularly guiding a certain response. I basically kept saying their criteria was hard to quantify or prove, ie. contributing/ volunteering - how do you prove that if it is not through an organisation? So if you help your neighbours, how do you prove it?

Me too. Even though my appearance is "acceptable" for the racists behind the anti-migrant rhetoric.

Labs could easily function without PhD students. There are a lot of researchers looking for jobs. They could be hired. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Just a thought.

The people here are having difficulties finding science research jobs. There are very few research posts being advertised right now.

If they can afford to, if they want to give up their other citizenship (some countries don't allow for dual citizenship).

And Israel to be held accountable for its horrific actions.
