If you watched season 2 of “Mo” you will have learnt that the US cannot deport Palestinians because to do that it would have to acknowledge that Palestine exists. So effectively what they’ve done is made this young man stateless.

I get the impulse but let’s keep a sober eye on facts and history. The US is the villain in many, many, MANY stories in African history. That doesn’t mean don’t resist - it just means keeping clear eyed so that you’re not just swapping out one oppressor for another.

One of the biggest memory holes in the US electoral cycle was that millions of people died because DJT didn’t believe in COVID, then used racist tropes to try and explain it away, and then withheld medicines from much of the world. (Biden was no saint in this last act either).
A California resident has been infected with the more severe type of mpox virus, the first U.S. case of a virus that has sickened thousands and killed hundreds in an outbreak in central and eastern Africa, health officials said Saturday.
