We now get Home Office press releases about immigration nearly every day. Interesting to note the language. They obviously want to be seen to be taking action, but “illegal migrants” are not the same as “asylum seekers”

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

As a historian, I have been torturing myself by watching some of the series that the White House in cooperation with Hillsdale College produced about American Independence (tellingly, they avoid the word "revolution").

Men will log on and say they are physically superior to all women and that if they could find a way to harm us they would, but blame trans people for that. It's simply acceptable misogyny and it's not even particularly clever or well hidden.

The "loophole" is that once somebody who was recognised as a refugee had a child born here then, ten years later, once that child was a citizen, we would not deport the parent (after their legal status had been renewed 3-4 times over say 12 years here)

The ICC judges just amended the Court’s Regulations: from now on, arrest warrants will be issued under seal by default (Reg. 23 ter).
A small procedural tweak — but a major institutional shift.

I take this as a quite harsh rebuke by the ICC judges of how past and present ICC prosecutors have handled applications for arrest warrants (I.e. timing of making the applications public).

So I know the Edmund Fitzgerald has become a bit of a meme in recent years, people love the song (correctly) and it's a huge deal in the Great Lakes.
But as someone who grew up in northern Michigan in the 80s, I thought you all might find it interesting to hear about how it affected us.
