The corollary, in the negative/positive liberty sense, is states should not infringe on our freedom of movement, but that we (including states, as they currently exist) have a moral duty to create a world in which all humans can exercise their autonomy and agency, which includes freedom of movement

I am for articulating the numerous pragmatic, economic and instrumental reasons that immigration benefits everyone, both the émigré and host country; but we should not forget that the state curtailing immigration is an affront to the fundamental freedom, autonomy and agency of all people
the measure of a country doing well is if it's people are happy, free, prosperous, & healthy, not if an arbitrary number of people cross a border
in chasing that latter goal, countries like the UK have undermined the former ones - we a poorer, more divided, & literally sicker

I'm thinking about the usher last night who came to where I was seated in the front row to give me a programme and said, "Please enjoy the concert, ma'am."
I bet he felt silly when I stood up with my baton and started conducting because I didn't see him after that.
I did enjoy the show!

It won't stop there with these people. Eventually, these people are going to try to get rid of the Welsh Language Acts and say it's to keep Britain "culturally coherent".

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

The other day my students told me that professors were saying "6-7" now (I still don't know what that is meant to mean), and I said, "Well, I don't."
They answered, "Thank goodness. Please, never do that."
