This is SO GOOD. If you're Canadian and the issue of residential schools, unmarked graves on their grounds, and erasure of indigenous peoples is still an abstraction for you, you probably should order this book. I certainly will.

Sadly, William Hendrix, communications assistant for Kansas AG Kris Kobach, decided to return to his job as a 1950s car salesman before the story went to press.

Wait a minute. Are you from the West Coast or from Massachusetts? Or do you just lift your Bluesky posts from reddit?

Vance uses Union soldiers as examples here, but otherwise his nativist argument is based on ancestral PARTICIPATION in the Civil War, not on having been on the Union side. Conveniently, this argument implies the inclusion of mostly white people, as enslaved blacks were definitely not "fighting".

I never tire of mocking these lazy and hypocritical fake internet leftists. They'll happily accuse you of abject cruelty for having supported Biden in 2024, while doing their best to minimize Trump's cruelty in 2025. You can't make this up. Comedy gold.

Lessons learned. W got a boost in political power from 9/11. Empowering Hamas and sleeping at the wheel before Oct 7 has kept Netanyahoo and his genocidal agenda in power. Trump delights in lighting fires everywhere. In time, he'll have a smorgasbord of Reichstag fires to choose from.

Sounds like you skipped your meds and need a life (or a girlfriend). Thoughts and prayers from Canada.
Look at us: in spite of the threats, we thank Orange Jesus every day for saving us from what looked like a certain Conservative landslide in the upcoming elections.

You're hilariously clueless. Who said Canada was inviting MAGAts? As for the rest of the world, just know that Americans felt compelled to travel with Canadian flag patches in Europe during the Reagan years. So you'll have to go to Russia to fly your Trump flag. But first you need a passport. 🤡

Duh! They can't travel abroad either.
If 1/6th of the US rate of incarceration (and a lower crime rate) is what you consider "full of felons", then the US must be a literal a criminal hellscape. Canada sends thoughts and prayers.
