According to NCES, there are 1.5m post-secondary instructors in the United States. Let's suppose 10% want to relocate b/c of Trump. That's 150,000 faculty. For comparison, that's: More than half of the faculty in the UK. The ENTIRE faculty in Australia. THREE TIMES the number of Canadian faculty.

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms. The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

1/ Trump claims that he's not surprised by the ruling against him on birthright citizenship because "they put it in front of a certain judge." That Judge happens to be a Reagan appointee who has been on the bench for four decades. He didn't think it was even close. joycevance.substack.com/p/go-judge
