Zoning shenanigans never end.

"Some in the #Jewish community feel the revised zoning laws were #discriminatory as more and growing Jewish families move into the city, Rabbi Yosef Katz told NJ Advance Media.

“These proposals follow a troubling pattern of zoning changes in recent years that have disproportionately impacted the Jewish community,” Katz said.

“In recent months, the city has introduced new zoning regulations that many believe are designed to restrict the ability of larger families—particularly in the #Orthodox Jewish community—to live and grow in Linden."

@HarriettMB I do expect @antidiskriminierung and @AuswaertigesAmt to affirm #AntiDiscrimination #laws and either force the #US embassy & consulates to comply with #Germany's laws or close and cease operations.

If the #USA refuses to acknowledge that, they there is no basis for #diplomacy and I urge #contractors to press charges for #blackmail and #coercion if they get approached to fulfill for such #racist, #sexist, #ableist and otherwise #discriminatory demands because doing so violates national and #EU #laws!

My disgust & anger towards my own country know no bounds…

“A majority of those cases between Oct & Dec resulted in those people being evacuated & I am sure that these #lawsuits had a role to play in that, because it puts pressure on the #government to have to defend its position — & it’s much easier to #evacuate them than to defend this #discriminatory position.”

According to the #SouthernPovertyLawCenter (#SPLC), which tracks #HateGroups and files class action lawsuits against #discriminatory organizations and entities, "on the case of #WhiteSupremacists, the accelerationist set sees modern society as irredeemable and believe it should be pushed to collapse so a #fascist society built on #ethnonationalism can take its place. What defines white supremacist accelerationists is their belief that violence is the only way to pursue their political goals."

Bonsitu Kitaba, deputy #legal dir for the #ACLU of #Michigan, argued MI's ban on #Medicaid coverage for #abortion creates a "two-tiered system" between those who can afford #private #HealthInsurance for terminating a pregnancy & those who cannot. The deprivation, Kitaba said, infringes on the fundamental right to #ReproductiveFreedom & is #discriminatory since Medicaid covers #childbirth but not abortion.
