Don’t want to be a downer or anything, but the Doomsday Clock has moved four seconds closer to midnight.

Alexandra Bell, President and CEO of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists which maintains the clock, said it was due to a “global failure in leadership” and an “Orwellian approach to governance.”

While the mainstream discussions are depressingly about *how* best to remove and stop immigrants, it’s a revolutionary act nowadays to say that immigration is actually a positive thing and an essential component of a thriving country, so please join me in doing so!
