I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
only been on substack for a day and it already feels like this.

Why Mill Valley murder suspect will not face the death penalty. Will Amazon pull back on data centers like Microsoft? And Scotts CEO hit the national airwaves last week
Mexico has officially banned the Trump propaganda from airing on Mexican TV and social media. No racist ads, and no lies disguised as messages to the world.
This looks fascinating - thanks Richard. One amateur suggestion - something explicit on the "who matters?" question? All too often that critical question of moral patiency scope tends to get neglected. That can lead readers to agree with a particular moral system while brutally (and often unthinkingly) excluding most valid moral patients (human and non-human alike) from consideration under that system. The classical menu of moral scope choices include anthropocentrism, sentiocentrism (my favourite given the Sentientism worldview), biocentrism and ecocentrism. Of course, sadly, many humans apply something much more messy and arbitrary which includes a few lucky non-human sentients while excluding very many human sentients.
