Let’s make an actual point on immigration, since Vance thinks of the Immigrant Act of 1924 so highly.

It did make it much harder for immigrants to come here, especially from Southern and Eastern Europe, which were the main points of emigre at that time.

But it also had unintended effects 🧵/

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

I received a notification from the bird banding lab that a northern saw-whet owl we banded in Bondurant WY in Oct 2024 was recaptured at Redberry Lake, Sask. in Sept 2025. A straightline distance of more than 1,000 km (600 miles). The picture is of a saw-whet, but not the bird in question. #birds

Beavers are impressive engineers. They dammed our local river and now have a nice pond until spring flooding washes it away some time in April. #beavers #beaverdam

From @hmns.bsky.social:
This fossil of a giant crinoid colony (Seirocrinus subangularis) attached to a piece of driftwood was found in Germany.

Crinoid means "lily-like", but they're not flowers, they're animals, the ancestral line leading to modern sea stars & sea urchins.

The Dollar Lake fire started yesterday. It grew to 700 acres by the end of the day and is now blowing up. Seems to be creating lenticular clouds in the air the flowing past it . #pyrocumulus.
