At a really fundamental level Leo XIV is just a person with sound, well-reasoned, moral stances on the world and how life should be lived who isn't afraid to say those things in public. That kind of person simply does not make sense to business leaders and politicians for whom speech is convenience.

Just watched The Odyssey and John Leguizamo elevates every movie he’s in. It’s time to give him an award for his charisma. If for no other reason than his deadpan quip at the end. Making me laugh and cry deserves an Oscar.

In the UK, US, and Canada the demonization of international students has been going on for a while: Liberals in Canada, Labour in the UK nor the Democrats seem to care or want to pretend to care. I mean, they can't be arsed to protect higher education in general, let alone international students.
