      I have to say, I feel less safe as a journalist in America these days than I ever did in Russia. A lot less safe.

      I don’t doubt journalists feel unsafe. I don’t doubt that, especially in the current climate, they actually *are* in greater danger. But these sorts of reality-bending hyperboles are not helpful.

          But it's not necessarily hyperbolic to suggest that a foreign journalist in Russia faces less imminent threats than a US-based journalist in the US.

          1) She made a rather general statement, so deserves a response to what she actually said, 2) I think that depends on where the foreign journalist is from.

          Replying to @SarahTheHaider

          Yeah, I suppose. It was clearly a statement about her personal experience (which looks complicated), but was worded to seem more all-encompassing. Either way, if journalists perceive a heightened domestic threat, that should be cause for compassion rather than eye-rolling, no?

          I am compassionate towards those feeling threated, particularly journalists. I am not compassionate towards downplaying the tragedies of other lands to add rhetorical weight to the direness of one's own situation. Julia made the same move re: ISIS today.

          I'm unsure it's downplaying here? Unless I'm mistaken, she never said being a journalist in Russia isn't dangerous. But I do agree that a lot of public figures spend too much time reframing issues (often to be US-centric). And yes, her ISIS comment was stupid

          Except, objectively, being a journalist in Russia is far more dangerous. Comparing her situation to theirs - as if hers was worse -is kinda disgusting.

          As far as I could tell, she only compared her own situation (in the US) to her own situation (in Russia). Her message is counter-intuitive yes, but not entirely outlandish

          I think it's b/c the hostility is more in-your-face (jeering crowds, social media threats, etc) now than it was then, for her.

          That sounds likely. Also the social media exposure probably does make her less safe, regardless of feelings.

          Given you started this conversation by yanking a gigantic stereotype out your head and shoving it in my direction, your complaint is rather ironic. Better work opportunities, hunh? Such as?

          Not in my head: I was reading your tweet as a gigantic stereotype, the Trump scary movie, devouring the world, come on. He monkey-wrenched whqt seemed the inevitable serene police state of hillary, and we are all better off for that.

          t---- intentionally stokes division and hatred by the hour to cling to power. He's sending 5200 troops to the southern border right now to stop a non-threat that happens every year--and the caravan won't even reach the border for weeks. But there's an election next week.

          He will do anything to cling to power. He's incredibly corrupt, which I'm sure you claimed was true of Hillary and made her unfit. Every person of color and sex/gender minority's life is in greater danger now. He puts the word of foreign leaders ahead of US intelligence agencies.
