    Deportation is used like a sledgehammer these days, swung so wildly the very concept has been stained. But sometimes things are pretty clear. If someone was an active part of propagating a genocide, they shouldn’t be welcome anywhere. And yes, those standards should be applied to our politicians too.

    Only somewhat related to the story at hand, but I’m glad you’ve been Africa posting — it’s definitely a blind spot for me, and I appreciate you taking the time to curate a feed.
