Most think of proposed mass deportation as the removal of foreigners.
No: The plan explicitly includes the mass deportation of *US citizens*.
It is not about who should get US citizenship. It is about some US citizens illegitimizing other US citizens.

The Southern African nation of Namibia is planning to kill over 700 wild animals to feed some of the 1.4 million people — nearly half the country — who are in a hunger crisis amid the worst drought in a century. The drought has dried out staple crops and killed livestock in the region.

Fun fact. North America lice evolved for hair type 1 to 3s. 4s have the wrong structure and North American lice struggle to get a grip so it's rare for Black people in North America to get lice.
Not in Africa though. That lice evolved for our hair types.

Seeing Gus Walz allowed to be himself on a national platform - not hidden from view, not told to stifle the expression of disability- was beautiful. He was allowed to be his full disabled self. Saying “don’t mention the disability part” erases this huge step forward in disability visibility.

A reminder to my colleagues in the humanities: a twenty year old was likely born in 2004, which means their cultural memory begins in roughly 2014 when they were 10. Pixar’s Inside Out came out in 2015, 45 was elected in 2016, Adele and Rihanna were the top singers.
