Canada is cancelling thousands of asylum claims, leaving a 33-year-old Haitian man who crossed from the U.S., and many other migrants, stuck in limbo.

Trump has cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration, as I predicted. While illegal entries have fallen, they continued a prior trend, falling more before he came back. Meanwhile, Trump has drastically cut legal entries, reversing the prior upward trend. www.cato.org/blog/trump-h...
"The Camp of the Saints worldview simply assumes that immigrants can't contribute to society, to civilization. They can only destroy it...It's entered the GOP mainstream, and reshaped conservative ideology."

There has been a total collapse of trust in anything that comes out of this Pentagon. They have lied freely, frequently and without shame. It means that on serious matters - like civilian casualty disputes or US casualty figures - no-one can trust what they say.
Canada's most syndicated newspaper, the National Post, published an overwhelmingly positive review of the infamously racist novel Camp of the Saints today. The book is a standard in white nationalist book lists and is nearly only sold by white supremacist publishers. nationalpost.com/opinion/jami...

fucking hell, man

Every university needs a @msroth.bsky.social as president. Wesleyan's head grades Yale's shameful retreat: "That’s not a mission; it’s a defense strategy. And the retreat from public purpose will not enhance trust; it will further erode it."

A snitch law passed by provincial governments twenty years ago has been retooled by the Alberta government for use against nonprofit agencies it seeks to defund. 1/

The sugar baby angle is getting headlines; the scarier story is that the inexperienced MAGA 20-something hired straight from her grad program to a senior DHS role is probably one of the MORE qualified people staffing the upper-ranks of the agency right now.
I suspect, however, that Republicans have not had this realization, and that they simply believe that disenfranchising Democrats is good but disenfranchising Republicans is bad. If that’s the case, then this race to the bottom will continue indefinitely. On Monday, Trump called the new maps a “shameful effort” to “silence the voices of Virginia conservatives.” He either didn’t remember or didn’t care that he had set off this whole process by demanding that liberals in Texas and other Republican-controlled states be similarly silenced. In fact, the president complained in a post today that the election had been “rigged” by virtue of the fact that all the votes—including mail-in ballots—had been counted.
If Republicans have had a belated realization that gerrymandering is bad, they should work with Dems to ban it entirely. I suspect though that they think it’s just bad when it happens to them. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
It's going to be really hard to avoid saying, "I told you so" as often as it will need to be said from now on. Historian Joanne B. Freeman Trump Resistance Movement
So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.
Also, even if that were true, that’s fucking monstrous? Are we not supposed to care when people who have other health problems die?
the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.
Gosh. Who could have predicted this state of affairs? www.techdirt.com/2024/12/10/f...
“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.
It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

Yup.
A color action photo shows Guy Lafleur skating on the ice during a hockey game. He is wearing a red Montreal Canadiens uniform with blue and white striping and the number 10 on his sleeve. He leans forward while controlling the puck with his stick, his skates angled as he moves across the ice. The boards and glass are visible behind him, with a blurred crowd in the background.
On this day in 2022, Guy Lafleur died.
Born in 1951, in his Hall of Fame career he won five Stanley Cups, three Art Ross, two Harts, three Lester B. Pearsons and a Conn Smythe. He remains the Montreal Canadiens leading scorer with 1,246 points.

My book Military Revolution and the Thirty Years War (2023) looks at four military institutions - feudal cavalry services, militias, regular armies, and war commissariats - and investigates how they evolved, mutated, stagnated, or withered in 1618-1648. Open access at hup.fi/books/m/10.3...

Sabourin played 6:49 in regulation, while he was on the ice the Lightning controlled 1.68% of the expected goals.
That's not a typo, 1.68%. He's not out there to play hockey.
“The former official said he doesn't think Trump is playing ‘the sort of three-dimensional chess people ascribe to decisions like this. More often than not he's just eating the pieces.’"
