The paradox with Carney's thinking on the rules based order is that while he says it's dead, he also aligns himself - most recently, with the war in Iran - with the very states who are destroying it, one war crime and violation of the UN Charter at a time.
It is horrific that Palestinian students from Gaza, admitted to Canadian universities, are not being granted student visas to Canada.
Amidst an ongoing genocide and occupation, denying Palestinian students is continuation of same violence and anti-Palestinian racism.

and folks wonder why i won’t shut up about what happened to autoimmune people like me who were unable to access our essential hydroxychloroquine— while some journalists (like julia!) ensured our stories were captured in print, some writing about it just a few years later erase our pain from record.
Data on the phenomenon most of us definitely notice. And "Atlantic Canada faces the greatest retention challenge, with more immigrants leaving from the region than anywhere else in the country."
Wow!! Migration and the Origins of American Citizenship by Anna O. Law @unlawfulentries.bsky.social is out!! As timely as it is important.
Methotrexate is an essential drug used to treat lupus and cancers.
…the Torah portion we'd read the next morning in shul: parashat Bo, from Exodus. In it, the darkness of the 9th plague is described as something that the oppressors—the mitzrim,”the ones of narrowed sight”—could actually touch. It was so thick it kept them isolated from each other, unable to move.
As a libertarian, I think it’s important that Americans understand that if they just do what the government says, they won’t get shot.
"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport
Minnesota nice, but in solidarity.
I'm really looking forward to this! Seems like there might be some productive parallels to the later strategies and situations of Icelandic settlers that I've been looking at.

I'm presenting a paper on royal investigative commissions operating across the Atlantic World and Asia in the #c17th and #c18th at #AHA26 on Sunday. Part of the session "What Makes an Empire? Integrating Denmark’s Overseas Expansion into Global History." If you're attending, do join us!
He could also just read his own book. There is no way he's doing it out of ignorance rather than for what he sees as short-term gain.
Greenland has not been part of the EU since 1985, so more accurately an attack on NATO and Denmark.
Perhaps it's finally time for mainstream media and government officials to take the Greenland story seriously, along with Greenland's complicated position entangled in colonial and imperial ties with Denmark and the US.
Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela.
It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

“Structurallly indifferent to truth.” Sit with that, friends, as you consider whether to allow or integrate LLMs into learning.
Yeah, this is absolutely not happening! It's clear that there is no actual requirement for staff to follow the guidelines in practice.
I'm pleasantly shocked this happened (and remain shocked it's not year round). Every time I have to go into a healthcare facility, the staff are unmasked and don't seem to think anything of it. Even often suggest that I take off my mask—and I'm there because of a chronic autoimmune disease 🫠
i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.
Also, Clay lasted a long time in the bureaucracy!
In 1934, a group of undocumented Russian refugees gained legal status in the U.S.—during the Great Depression. How did that happen?
