  6. The Ghost Who Keeps Signing by Lawson Akhigbe

    The Land Use Act of 1978 vested radical title to land in the state governor. Customary authorities were meant to operate within that framework, not around it. Yet when the formal system becomes a source of frustration rather than facilitation, human ingenuity finds other routes. Enter the late Oba. His name carries historical weight. The palace, however, maintains no functional modern archive capable of systematic verification. Oral history is the dominant method, and most of the original participants are no longer available for cross-examination. The result is a paper trail that is difficult to audit and easy to exploit.

  7. Reform UK’s Brexit immigration impact

    Reform UK’s perspective on Brexit and immigration is central to its identity: Brexit was meant to deliver control over borders and lower overall migration, but post-2016 (especially post-2021) governments primarily Conservative, failed to use that control effectively, leading to a non-EU migration surge that the party labels the “Boriswave.” Reform argues this undermined the Brexit promise, strained public services, housing, wages, and cultural cohesion, and necessitates far tougher policies.

  11. A quotation from John Adams

    Your “ἄρiςτοi” [aristocrats] are the most difficult Animals to manage, of any thing in the whole Theory and practice of Government. They will not Suffer themselves to be governed. They not only exert all their own Subtilty Industry and courage, but they employ the Commonalty, to knock to pieces every Plan and Model that the most honest Architects in Legislation can invent to keep them within bounds.

    John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)
    Letter (1813-07-09) to Thomas Jefferson

  14. A quotation from Mark Twain

    Ah! what could our Family do without the moralist? He has always been our stay, our support, our friend; today he is our only friend. Whenever there has been dark talk of assassination, he has come forward and saved us with his impressive maxim, “Forbear: nothing politically valuable was ever yet achieved by violence.” He probably believes it. It is because he has by him no child’s book of world-history to teach him that his maxim lacks the backing of statistics. All thrones have been established by violence; no regal tyranny has ever been overthrown except by violence; by violence my fathers set up our throne; by murder, treachery, perjury, torture, banishment and prison they have held it for four centuries, and by these same arts I hold it today. There is no Romanoff of learning and experience but would reverse the maxim and say: “Nothing politically valuable was ever yet achieved except by violence.”

  15. USCIS Makes Major Change Compelling Aliens To Return Home For Proper Processing Of The Adjustment Of Statuses

    The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) formally announced a major change that will compel aliens seeking the adjustment of status to return to their respective countries and go through the consular processing via the Department of State. The change marks the USCIS’ return to the law’s original intent to ensure that aliens navigate America’s immigration system properly.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the USCIS’ official announcement. Some parts in boldface…

    U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today announced a new policy memo reiterating the fact that, consistent with long-standing immigration law and immigration court decisions, aliens seeking adjustment of status must do so through consular processing via the Department of State outside of the country.

    Officers are directed to consider all relevant factors and information on a case-by-case basis when determining whether an alien warrants this extraordinary form of relief.

    “We’re returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly. From now on, an alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. When aliens apply from their home country, it reduces the need to find and remove those who decide to slip into the shadows and remain in the U.S. illegally after being denied residency,” said USCIS Spokesman Zach Kahler.

    Nonimmigrants, like students, temporary workers, or people on tourist visas, come to the U.S. for a short time and for a specific purpose. Our system is designed for them to leave when their visit is over. Their visit should not function as the first step in the Green Card process. Following the law allows the majority of these cases to be handled by the State Department at U.S. consular offices abroad and frees up limited USCIS resources to focus on processing other cases that fall under its purview, including visas for victims of violent crime and human trafficking, naturalization applications, and other priorities. The law was written this way for a reason, and despite the fact that it has been ignored for years, following it will help make our system fairer and more efficient.

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? If you are an American citizen, do you agree with the USCIS’ change of policy and processes with regards to aliens who are already present in the United States while seeking to adjust their respective statuses? Do you think this latest change will somehow bring down the number of illegal immigrants/aliens present in America? Do you think it makes sense for aliens in America to go back home to their respective countries to apply for change of status at the U.S. consular?

  16. A quotation from Twain

    A strange thing, when one considers it: to wit, the world applies to Czar and System the same moral axioms that have vogue and acceptance in civilized countries! Because, in civilized countries, it is wrong to remove oppressors otherwise than by process of law, it is held that the same rule applies in Russia, where there is no such thing as law — except for our Family. Laws are merely restraints — they have no other function. In civilized countries they restrain all persons, and restrain them all alike, which is fair and righteous; but in Russia such laws as exist make an exception — our Family. We do as we please; we have done as we pleased for centuries. Our common trade has been crime, our common pastime murder, our common beverage blood — the blood of the nation. Upon our heads lie millions of murders. Yet the pious moralist says it is a crime to assassinate us. We and our uncles are a family of cobras set over a hundred and forty million rabbits, whom we torture and murder and feed upon all our days; yet the moralist urges that to kill us is a crime, not a duty.

    With ~54% of the vote, Tisza is set to take 138 seats. This isn't just a win; it’s a mandate for total reform. Magyar has pledged to mend ties with the EU, unlock frozen funds, and tackle corruption head-on. 🇪🇺🤝

  18. With a strong parliamentary mandate, the new leadership may now have the power to push deep reforms in key areas of governance, law, and Hungary’s role in Europe. #TiszaParty #TiszaPárt #RuleOfLaw #Jogállamiság #EU #EurópaiUnió

  19. 🚨 HUNGARY: THE IMPOSSIBLE IS HAPPENING. 🇭🇺
    For 16 years, Viktor Orbán has been the "Strongman of Europe." But in 5 days, his regime might actually collapse.
    The polls are in, the ground is shaking in Budapest, and the Fediverse needs to look at this. 🧵👇

  20. When loyalty replaces honesty and outrage replaces debate, democracy weakens. Truth matters. Character matters. Power must answer to law. We can disagree without destroying each other. Let’s rebuild trust before it’s too late. 🇺🇸 #CharacterCounts #Democracy #TruthMatters #CivicDuty #RuleOfLaw

  21. The fact that Canada is even modeling responses to a hypothetical U.S. invasion says everything. This is what reckless threats and imperial rhetoric do: they destabilize allies and poison trust. #Canada #UnitedStates #RuleOfLaw #Democracy #Geopolitics #NATO #Allies #GlobalStability

  22. #Borama crisis shows what happens when #favoritism overrides #integrity. Only fair leadership, #RuleOfLaw, & #EthicalGovernance can restore trust, unity, & stability in #Somaliland. This is a warning: Fair rules & ethical leadership are SL’s path forward.

  23. Again good #Eurobarometer results today from @EUCommission: According to the latest survey published today, respect for #democracy, #humanrights, and the #ruleoflaw remain the EU's main strength. My take: people are not that bad, its (center-right) politics killing exactly those values! ec.europa.eu/commission/pressc

  29. @wendinoakland We may remember, that Trump is a defendant in four lawsuits so far, charged with 91 counts so far.
    He is the incorporation of what the Founders understood by unacceptable extreme misdemeanor, unworthy to hold any government or other public office & disqualifyingly refusing to take care, that the laws be faithfully executed.

    Besides simple math telling that their infamous abuse of congressional power will be going to crash-land in the Senate, where they're also lacking a two-thirds majority.

  32. @marcelias Replacements should have to undergo security clearance procedures & tests scrutinizing loyalty & adherence to the U.S. Constitution.

    And neutralization of/accountability of terrorists attacking election officials verbally or physically, to disrupt the electoral process as fair & free as it should be.
