After immigrating to the U.S. at age 9, Hthu Nie spent years denying who she was. Nie, who is Montagnard, an ethnic minority indigenous to Vietnam’s central highlands, told her classmates she was Vietnamese, not trusting they’d grasp the nuances between the two. “I was like, ‘I’m in America now,’” she said. “I didn’t think it was such a big deal.” It was only when she entered college that she began to question why she was “erasing [her] own culture.” Nie, who graduated in 2021 and will start nursing school in the fall, has become an outspoken proponent for the preservation of Montagnard customs and traditions. Like many Montagnards her age, she feels a profound sense of urgency as heir to a “dying culture,” the survival of which she believes falls on her generation’s shoulders. These young leaders have made it their mission to ensure their heritage — rooted in persecution due to their alliance with the U.S. during the Vietnam War — is passed on. Across social media, their … [Read more...] about The young Montagnard generation in the U.S. is using art and social media to keep their culture alive

The JD(U)'s Nitish Kumar forming the government in Bihar after dumping the BJP was hailed by several Opposition leaders who called it a payback for engineering the fall of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra and a "timely effort" to forge unity among secular forces.

He has extolled the value of racial purity, is vehemently anti-immigration, has cultivated close ties with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and is a speaker at this week’s Conservative Political Action Conference , known as CPAC, in Dallas. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán , 59, is widely criticized around the world for systematically dismantling his country’s nascent democracy during his 12 years in power — but that hasn’t stopped him from emerging as a darling of many on the right in America. Former President Donald Trump and his onetime chief strategist Steve Bannon are also speaking at CPAC, America’s top conservative conference. And both are fans of Orbán’s. Trump endorsed Orbán in January, three months before he was re-elected to a fourth term , and Bannon called the Hungarian leader “Trump before Trump” in a speech in Budapest in 2018. While Trump was voted out, Orbán, the first European Union leader to speak out in support of Trump’s campaign in 2016, looks … [Read more...] about Why Trump and the GOP love Hungary’s authoritarian leader

A new corporate tax that is intended to raise $300 million a year from San Francisco’s largest companies and direct that money toward homeless services, was approved Nov. 6. Known as Proposition C, which passed with 59.9 percent of the vote, the measure is the largest corporate tax increase in San Francisco’s history, according to NBC . Many, however, are unhappy with how the tax is structured, like Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, although in the past he has made remarks like, “I want to help fix the homeless problem in SF and California.” With Proposition C approved, companies with more than $50 million in gross annual receipts will be taxed on any gross annual receipt revenue in San Francisco. The city already has a gross receipts tax , which is calculated by multiplying a company’s global revenue with an “apportionment percentage,” which is based on their business category . Because of this, businesses could pay an additional tax of between 0.175 percent to 0.69 percent. This … [Read more...] about San Francisco’s Biggest Companies To Pay ‘Homeless Tax,’ A Measure That Had Tech Leaders Butting Heads

Referring to the continuous and repeated interrogation of Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi, party’s national leaders Rahul Gandhi and M. Mallikarjun Kharge by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the National Herald case, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) Vice-president Sharan Prakash Patil said that the BJP-led government at the Centre was murdering the democracy by capturing constitutional bodies and misusing them to suppress the Opposition. “The very act of bringing the National Herald case under the er Prevention of Money Laundering Act is ill-intentioned. The National Herald was a newspaper started by Jawaharlal Nehru and other freedom fighters and it played a crucial role in the freedom movement. When the paper of historical significance was facing serious financial problems, the Congress established an entity with a non-profit motive and bought the paper to save and preserve it.

In an exclusive interview, the deputy chairwoman of Germany’s populist, Eurosceptic party, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), spoke with Breitbart News about immigration, Islam, and America. Germany’s young populist party, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), made enormous gains in last Sunday’s federal elections, moving from holding no seats in the national parliament to as many as 94 seats in the new Bundestag. A growing disillusion with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s handling of Germany’s migrant crisis as well as with the liberal Social Democratic Party (SPD) helped fuel a significant shift toward the AfD. Beatrix von Storch became a member of the European Parliament for AfD in 2014 and is one of the public faces of the party. After leaving the European Conservatives and Reformists, she joined the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy group led by Nigel Farage, the former leader of UKIP.
