Do you guys still support trans rights if the trans person is a Republican?
Jen: of course. What the fuck?

If the US' official position is that China committed genocide, how can we go to the olympics in China?
Jen: I promise you we are making very clear to China the myriad things they do that piss us off

WHY DID KAMALA GO TO A BAKERY IN CHICAGO INSTEAD OF EL SALVADOR Jen: uhhhhhh she visited a small business in Chicago while she was addressing vaccine hesitancy. People like snacks? MVP's office announced a USAID DART team deploying to the northern triangle to help address the humanitarian crisis there. She's definitely focused on immigration and you're being weird. Also nobody is traveling right now? HOW DARE SHE APPEAR TO...EAT?

Yamiche: how do you measure success in terms of your equity goals?
Jen: equity is central to what we do. We constantly monitor where doses are going so we can monitor equity. We monitor where outbreaks happen and how they impact different communities and work with governors to help bring more vaccine access to those communities. And we have changed our approach as appropriate to address challenges in access.

I get what Yamiche is getting at here but it would be really tough to say, "We're going to aim to have 20% of all vaccines go to x demographic group"

Yamiche: why haven't you been able to reunite any families?
Jen: yeah this is really rough. Since 45 didn't have any way to track these kids,cwe literally have to find them. The other guys also kept inaccurate records so we have to cross check literally everything. We're working really closely with the ACLU and there is a full report due from the task force on June 2.

Mitch is telling people to get vaccinated. Did POTUS ask "his friend Mitch Mcconnell" to do that?
Jen: idk man, we just want people to get vaccinated

I’ve been thinking a lot of this has to do with little to no records kept by the Trump admin. I hope they can get these families reunited ASAP, but I can’t imagine the difficulties.

And it may be even worse than previously thought. This is part of why it's pissing me off that people expect the Biden admin to have fixed all of this since 1/20. The 45 administration wasn't just cruel, they were purposely inept. Pro-life and family values my goddamn ass.

This is a relief bit shouldn't have been necessary. Good reminder to pay attention to prosecutor elections.

I hate to be a downer, but in addition to the children that have been separated and not reunited that we “know” of, I have grave concerns about adoptions that took place and are now finalized. Knowing that Bethany Christian Services, an organization that has known to have issues in regards to ethics in adoptions, was contracted with the federal government during this time to provide foster care services for unaccompanied minors makes me uneasy. I read stories early on about quick termination of parental rights in states that allow for that and finalized adoptions.
I think a full scale review of any child born in an impacted country and adopted in the US during that timeframe should be done. But it won’t be easy. Many states completely wipe out all prior records after an adoption so the birth certificate would read that they were born here to their adoptive parents.
There will be a reckoning on this I’m sure of it. My only question is what the scale is. Are we talking a small number (1 is too many in my eyes) or a big number of children.

With the record keeping they DIDN'T do added to the very young age of some of the kids they separated.
Its likely those kids will never be 'found'

I honestly can't think about it too much or too often. I won't look away because it can't be allowed to be swept under the rug but of all the inhuman and terrible things that have happened in recent years, this is one of the worst and most calculated. And the scale of it all is unthinkable.

Yamiche: why should business owners start a business here if they can do it more cheaply somewhere else? Raimondo: well you can't beat American ingenuity, American work ethic. Businesses want to be where their workers want to be, which is in strong communities with clean water, stable roads and bridges, good schools and reliable utilities. I wish " american work ethic" wasn't a selling point. It's not healthy or good. Like maybe we shouldn't always try to do the it the american way.

The American work ethic is for the poor and middle class to literally work themselves to death while the rich sit on their asses and get richer.
