That news article of racist folks in the UK thinking immigration has gone up even when it’s dramatically down reminds me of those surveys in the US showing some white folks thinking the country is 50 percent Black. White supremacy isn’t logical. It’s built on imagination and violence.

The most openly racist, eugenicist monsters are running the U.S. They will use every opportunity to advance their agenda.
And as the wheels come off their regime they will only grow more brutal and obscene. These are dangerous days for us all.

New WP: “University as a Melting Pot: Long-term Effects of Internationalization”
Debates on international students often focus on capacity constraints, funding, or competition.
In the paper, I show that the main effects of internationalization on natives are not academic or economic, but social.

America take note. This is how you deal with former heads of state who try to overthrow the government.

#MapleMAGA has the benefit of hindsight. A live-action example south of the border showing exactly where their ideas lead. This makes them even less excusable than the Americans who supported Trump and now regret it.

Never forget who did this, who supported it, and what motivated them: racism.
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Trump said the U.S. doesn’t have “certain talents and people have to learn,” adding that the skilled worker visa was needed to “bring in talent.”

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

"Go woke, go broke", they used to chant. Turns out the reality is: "Kneel to the Fasch, lose all your cash".
“People who aren’t invested in the stock market are seeing their grocery prices go up, inflation.”
TRUMP: “No, they went up under Biden. Now they’re going down.” 🤥
REALITY: No, they’re going up.

They can be debilitating, life-limiting, deadly.
They can severely impact someone’s ability to live independently, work, and function.
