What explains why Haitians don’t need protective status and wealthy Afrikaner white South Africans do? Ethnonationalism. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...
Trump says Haiti no longer meets requirements for TPS. Haitians have to leave

Taj consistently shows up for the community. Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Maine.
If you spend too much time in a negative online culture, you might forget about how kind and giving many people are. Count the owners of Taj in South Portland amongst the ranks of the "kind and giving" @claricesnarling.bsky.social www.pressherald.com/2025/11/12/t...

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

156 years ago today, Rutgers beat Princeton 6–4 in the first American intercollegiate football game (though it looked a lot more like soccer).
Two 25-player teams tried to kick a round ball through the goal (running with the ball wasn't allowed)
1-0 Rutgers!
