The first storm of the much-anticipated pattern shift brought widespread rain to CA, with some modest mountain snowfall in Sierra Nevada and points east. After a couple of quieter days, a sequence of much colder storms will follow (with much larger mountain snowfalls).

“Remigration” started in neo-Nazi networks. Now it’s echoed by Martin Sellner, embraced by Germany’s AfD, and invoked by Donald Trump. What was once extremist fantasy is being reframed as public policy—turning white nationalist ideology into enforcement, detention, and mass deportation.
