These people thinking Trump’s dystopian plan can be stopped - so sorry friend, that moment has passed.

“There must have been a moment, at the beginning, where we could have said ‘no’.

“Somehow we missed it.”

"If you’re thinking that the president just likes to say the word 'trillion' without any meaningful connection to reality, you’re not alone..."

When Trump talks about ‘trillions,’ does he understand what the word means?
The president keeps using the word “trillions,” but I don’t think it means what he thinks it means.

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.

Here's the thing, removing permanent settlement is utterly counterproductive, as well as cruel. As @t0nyyates.bsky.social points out, most people seeking asylum don't know the asylum policies of countries they seek it in, so it isn't in any way a "deterrent". 1/3
It will reduce the effort refugees make to integrate, something that the racists in Labour and elsewhere claim to worry about. As asylum experts point out, grasp of local policies is often not great so it probably won't reduce the flow of asylum seekers, which is presumably the hope.
