The “warrior cop” who demands special deference for risking his life because he got within ten yards of a fentanyl bag now seems like a precursor of the U.S. Navy “warrior” who claims that some guys that might’ve had cocaine on a speedboat were such a military threat that he had to use deadly force.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

I'm sorry it's embarrassing for your national mythos that the people who settled the islands came from thousands of miles away but it's true.

the Falklanders are, indeed, the indigenous people of the Falklands. It doesn't matter whether your ancestors arrived in the 18th century, like them, the 13th century, like the Maori, or about 10,000 years ago like people reaching the Americas for the first time.
I think the disconnect is that people learn about colonialism (even if it's just "babby's first colonialism) quite soon these days, and for a few decades even! So the idea that Earth genuinely had actual bona-fide Terra Nullius as late as the 18th century seems like bullshit!

The thing about immigration is that xenophobia and racism are the elite centrist position. Here's a senior fellow at Brookings, spouse of CRFP head Maya MacGuineas, explaining the mere presence of foreigners in Germany is a "problem" that someone must solve with "speed and determination."

I love French 75's, until I don't. I suspect there's a difference depending on the gin, but that's a liquor I'm ignorant of the flavor range and types.
And I’ll chug a French 75 happily
(I understand this this is always A Mistake, doesn’t stop me from reveling in it)
A shot is a much smaller quantity to chug, mind.

The Trump admin has paused all immigration and naturalization processes for people from one of the 19 travel ban countries; including Cuba and Venezuela.
Even people who fully passed the citizenship exam are having their cases put on hold, just inches from the finish line.

Scoop: The Trump administration has paused all immigration applications filed by people from 19 countries banned from travel to the United States earlier this year, halting green card and U.S. citizenship processing for broad swaths of people.
More coming soon.

I'd take their beliefs in good faith if there wasn't this naked, deliberate ignorance of basic international law. This conflict zone concept has no basis in said law. At best it was a polite warning to stay away. At worst it was British BS. And it's self-serving to hide behind it.

"Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Was I on the wall? No, not technically. But we had a pretty high-res video of the wall, and I kept shouting the word 'kill' at it for a few minutes. That's called the fog of war."

You notice what they do right? They insist on a flimsy claim of sovereignty, pretend proximity decides it, then ignore all the people that actually live on the island. Because why let a pesky thing like uninterrupted governance and self-determination get in the way of jingoistic nonsense.
It is not. The british invasions began in the 1800s and continue to this day. They were kicked out of the mainland but it remains to kick them out of the Malvinas, placed in the middle of the Mar Argentino, 12.700 kilometers away from England.

It's going to involve reigning in the American cardinals, bishops, and priests that are complicit in its growth
The struggle against Christian nationalism will not be won by policy papers or social media rebuttals but by re-anchoring moral imagination, writes Alejandro Reyes.
Will Pope Leo Stand Up to Christian Nationalism?
A clash of visions on human dignity and divine purpose.
