Regime change is back.

I learned yesterday that my former refugee organization is going along with these new “policies” by supporting the resettlement of Afrikaners. Heartbreaking news from a group I deeply admired.

“white people who claim they’re being persecuted” is pretty much the entire GOP brand (gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...)

Trump Considers Overhaul of Refugee System That Would Favor White People
The proposals would transform a program aimed at helping the most vulnerable people in the world into one that gives preference to mostly white people who say they are being persecuted.

My last north to south California road trip as my sojourn in Oakland comes to a close. I had a fave place to stop southbound (Surf N Turf in King City) and northbound (Firestone Grill in San Luis Obispo).

Christopher Columbus himself was a monster, but Columbus Day was instituted in 1892 to combat rising anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic bigotry after the lynching of eleven Italian-Americans. The same revanchists defending Columbus Day as "part of our US heritage" in 2025 would have opposed it in 1892.
