    You know what's worse than being tokenized, and a source for navel-gazing feel-good stories? Being objects of fleeting PR? Not even being worth that anymore. They've been featured all over Western media last for years. They met prime minister Trudeau. There's only 20 of them.https://twitter.com/anyazoledz/status/1427369747784486918 …

    A girls robotics team from Afghanistan is trying to escape the country and make it to Canada. "We are literally begging the Canadian government," a prominent human rights lawyer first told CBC News. https://www.vice.com/en/article/5dbab5/afghanistan-girls-robotics-begging-justin-trudeau-canada …

        Canada is often *really bad* on the issue of immigration, so… they should maybe change how they handle this. From 2018: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/07/canada-immigration-success/564944/ …pic.twitter.com/FMoTSLizdl

        I get the problem with tokenization, especially as a woman from the Middle East myself, but for so many from around the world, tokenization is a step *up* from the profound indifference to their lives.

        These are exactly the kinds of groups of individuals (and their families) we had a moral obligation to extract from Afghanistan before we abandoned it.

        I am in the midst of trying to get media attention for a Cad-Afghan man to get approved to get his wife&daughter to Canada. They are trapped in Kabul right now. The bureaucracy is a struggle.
