I spoke with other immigration professionals today about the fascist attack on migrant rights in the US, escalating this week with Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest.

And as I wrote from Argentina, I realized how many Americans may not imagine what a fascist government will do to disappear its own citizens.

Just did it myself.
Just because.
A quick resistance task:
1. Google Gulf of Mexico
2. “Gulf of America" is the top
3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it
4. Select "Send Feedback"
5. Click on "Gulf Of America"
6. Select "Inaccurate content"
7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

Appropriate mix of headlines. Climate change accelerates, while the business world, under pressure from US conservatives, abandons any attempt to stop it

In recent days it seems like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg are trying to see who can be the most repulsive person.

Boys, boys, boys, it’s not a competition — we hate you all equally.

The Canadian government says it wants international students to stay, live, and work in Canada after graduation, but the nation's immigration services apparently did not get this memo.

Like many international students, I built a life in Canada. With the latest permanent residency cuts, I’m not sure where I’ll go next

Apple TV+ is free this weekend. My utterly biased suggestion: Little America. Every ep is a short film based on true stories of immigrants to America. Some are funny, some are moving, some are thrilling. We wanted to make a show about immigrants that was, before all else, entertaining.
