- Reposted by Alejandro Manevich 🧉This battle over Abrego Garcia is simple. It doesn't matter that he was here illegally. It doesn't matter if he's a gang member or if he's a wife beater (both of which are disputed). It doesn't matter if you think he deserves to be deported or to be in prison. / thread

- Bravo to @doubleaspect.blog for this eloquent, intelligent, morally serious post about the incoherent, puerile, and deeply unserious petition to Parliament to revoke Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship. Read it.
- New post: the petition demanding that Elon Musk be deprived of his Canadian citizenship is a disgrace. The tendency it represents, if unchecked, would lead Canada to become just what Canadians abhor in the United States. doubleaspect.blog/2025/02/25/a...
- Reposted by Alejandro Manevich 🧉I was curious if there is a case to revoke citizenship beyond "we don't lie this person" (probably not a good basis tbh). It looks like no? In 2017 the Act was changed so that even "high treason" is not a method of revoking citizenship (link: www.canada.ca/en/immigrati...) www.cbc.ca/news/world/e...

- Reposted by Alejandro Manevich 🧉In the fight against aspiring fascists engaged in retribution against actual or perceived political opposition, including denials of citizenship, our best weapon is... apparently politically motivated retribution by means of a denial of citizenship.
- Reposted by Alejandro Manevich 🧉Beyond Despair We are so fucking awful In the past day or so, a Jewish man in Miami saw two Palestinians on the street and opened fire. Seventeen shots. No words exchanged. No threat. Just stops his truck in the middle of the road, gets out, and starts shooting. In fucking Miami.

- Just splendid work from @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social ripping off the mask from Douglas Murray. The next time someone asks me why I object to Murray being lionized by so many in our community—and I've had that conversation more than once since Oct 7!—this is the article I will point them to.
- “Looking back at Douglas Murray’s public career, what is striking is how little the core of his thinking has evolved. Instead, it has calcified, expressing itself in an ever-belligerent posture of ethnic and cultural chauvinism”— @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social. www.prospectmagazine...
- Much respect to @radiofreetom.bsky.social for calling it as he sees it. I'd agree with the replies saying "this isn't the time or place" if he'd made such comments at the funeral. But this is a public forum, Carter was a public figure, and you can always choose not to read criticism of the deceased!
