Fascinating history lesson about the pilgrims and the contacts between Europeans and indigenous North Americans before they arrived. I don’t know why I thought that only the Canadian bits of the coast hosted European fishermen during that time.

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

A very important job for policy intellectuals right now, I think, is making the positive case for immigration - not just the economic case, tho that is helpful, but the idea that a world where people can more freely cross national borders is a better world.

Stephen Miller’s ancestors were Jewish refugees from the pogroms in czarist Russia. They came to the U.S. in the early twentieth century, even as racists said this same stuff about them.

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.

I am so sad to hear that National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom has died from her wounds.
And while Trump is now singing her praises, his words ring hollow given his administration’s war against women in the military. The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.
In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

This is a point that needs repeating. It’s fiscally conservative to house the homeless, it’s also the right thing to do.

Looking at this again this morning, Stan the Man on switchback was kind of a prototypical YouTuber
Maybe you're too young but Switchback comes to mind on the cbc. There was also a late night show in the early 90s or late 80s called, I think, TV Zero or Channel Zero, maybe on the CBC but I can never find anything about it but have a memory of it being cool and weird (but I was young)
