Seriously, at this point, I'm so fed-up with the "but Denmark!" argument to immigration policy. Is there anyone here who can speak with authority about the Danish Social Democrats and their policies?

That’s why “blue Labour” is doomed and was doomed from the start: you cannot make water run uphill. A party whose core electorate for over a decade has been socially liberal university graduates and ethnic minorities cannot sell itself as a party hostile to socially liberal values.

Quick: when are Republicans going to commission multimillion dollar studies on winning Gen Z women? When will Republicans search for the “Taylor Swift of the right?”

This isn't the easiest time to be Jewish in America. But now—and for a long time—it's been significantly harder to be Muslim.
Barring Jews from government was one of the Nazis' signature moves. Every American Jew has an obligation to speak out against the new Nazis trying to do the same to Muslims.

Officials in Taiwan were quietly optimistic when Donald Trump was re-elected. Less than a year later, the island is confronting one of its deepest fears: what happens if America abandons it?

This is a Pixar movie. The little moon (Sabrina Carpenter) comes in to work-shadow the veteran actual moon (Meryl Streep). Streep is grumpy about it for the film’s first thirty mins. But by the end they’re inseparable and when 2083 comes we cry. While also learning about the need to let someone go.

Such a characteristic dynamic, righties saying the protests were "funded by Soros" and lefties responding with fact checks & empirical observations. Ships passing in the night.
What the righties want to say is: the left is fundamentally illegitimate. That, to them, is the core truth.

What I find so funny is that it's not like the Australians are all running around deeply satisfied with their immigration system and therefore content with the migration situation.
All very amusing, but especially this:
"The most popular was an “Australian-style points-based immigration system,” with a net 46 percent support. The least popular was “Britain’s current immigration policy,” with -39 percent support."

Brits are pining for the pre-Brexit migration system
The idea was that leaving the bloc would give the U.K. back “control” of its borders and create a fairer system. But the widespread perception is it didn’t turn out that way.
