A story repeated throughout American history. A DOL agent called French Canadian immigration to New England an “invasion” in 1893. 50 years later, Rene Gagnon, a GI from NH of French Canadian descent, raised the flag over Iwo Jima.

The 14th amendment makes all our stories possible.

A massive national security breach by the administration came to light yesterday but you wouldn’t know it from the @nytimes.com. Top three headlines on nytimes.com are essentially administration talking point about “woke” colleges.

As @mtsw.bsky.social says, they like Trump and want to help him.

I mean, this shit helps too, but stick to the jazz if you want a constructive outlet…
