I’d like people to notice is how the reviewer and the introduction uses a multi-century movement of peoples to support today’s anti-immigrant argument in Britain.
However you characterize movement from 200-600, it ain’t anything like anything modern. Because FOUR HUNDRED YEARS

Tax exiles stuck in London desperately trying to get *back* to Dubai to avoid becoming tax resident in the UK? Just great stuff. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
They did it again twice today. It’s clearly deliberate and no surprise given they are likely being fed targets from Israel.

Where are you now, you asshole?

Why are these centrist parties in the us and Uk and Canada so intent on pandering ONLY to the White racist contingent of the electorate
Then why are you voting for all the people they send to be confirmed, Mark?
He’s such an evil man.
The thought of murdering brown people (bonus that many are Muslim) makes him so very happy.
People talk about the Middle East as a place of "ancient hatreds", but the diplomatic intrigues there seem to cycle through with dizzying speed while Europeans can't help but fall in line behind the guy who wants to invade them as soon as there's a chance to bomb Muslims...

I took my eight year old daughter to a protest on Saturday and my heart could hardly take it.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.
It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever
Congressman Brandon Gill @RepBrandonGill How many Americans have to get Allahu Akbar’ed before we realize Islam is a problem?
The way sitting politicians can say this stuff about Muslims while facing zero consequences is an indication of just how entrenched Islamophobia still is in our institutions and culture.

Very glad to see my union and others taking a stand here.
