Heck, maybe I'll write it anyway.09 Sep 2026 19:55 +0000at://did:plc:uddmlrgob6fl7mma3a4jttmt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv4cxtivss26https://bsky.app/profile/bobstevenson.bsky.social/post/3muzsw76xdc23We are inundated with so much scandal, noise, and just stupidity from this administration, that many of its injustices get lost in the chaos. Don't miss this one. The administration appears to be deliberately deporting people to countries they have no connection to.

I suspect the culture and values and America Bovino has in mind is whiteness. There aren’t 105M foreign-born people here. But 2021 census data shows there were ~105M non-white ppl in the US that year.
