Oh this is my nightmare. Nonononononono I'm going to throw a fistful of melatonin into my mouth that day, chase it with straight vodka, and pass out. Only wake me if it's good news, please and thank you.

There was an article about this being a problem in my district. I know they don't have fully developed brains yet but stealing the soap during a pandemic is such complete assholery I would be humiliated and enraged if my kid did this The high school near me is having big issues with it. Every bathroom has been vandalized over the past few weeks. š DS just told me a bunch of bathrooms at his school are closed and he thinks itās because of trying to avoid this.

You guys, Iām kind of in a bad place over this Haiti asylum seeker stuff. Can someone help me understand more? Why are we sending them away? Why hasnāt POTUS or MVP made official remarks about this situation? I know POTUS is at the UN and I listened to part of his speech but I havenāt been able to listen to press briefings, etc.
I just feel like this plus the treatment at the border is a really big deal and it feels like this administration is not doing the humane and right things I expected from them. Especially after what we lived through last admin. This feels like kids in cages but where is the outrage? I donāt want to give a pass just because I voted for them.

Like CBP has been a problem for YEARS and I feel like a complete agency review and overhaul should have been, like, a day one issue. It's really despicable. I mean we are whipping people on horseback. Whipping. The fuck are we doing?

And they need to be delivered outrage. It's unconscionable and incredibly anti-Black. Haitians have been punished since their revolution and it keeps going. But I would say I have in fact seen outrage. Maybe not enough, but it's there.

And to note, people have been deported for years from the border. The first time anyone in the world sees whips the asylees in question are Black.
If it weren't for the Kevlar vest and plastic bag, if the photo had been in sepia tone we wouldn't know what era it was from and that's enraging.

Like we have room, freaking bring them in and face the backlash on the right. They are currently busy trying to destroy our country so I really donāt think they can be on a high ground about anything.
I know it doesnāt work as simply as that butā¦I mean, something in between what we are doing and that would be more humane.
I knew this administration wouldnāt be perfect but this is more awful than I could imagine.

Me either, but it is a high school, so I am less concerned about "bathroom emergencies" than I would be if it was a grade school.

This is, in fact, universal. š ā . I finally sat through one too many public meetings where the only testimony was from retirees with incredibly intense outlier opinions about how many buildings built after 1800 should exist (none) how much noise and fun is ok (also none) and how many working-class people could be permitted to try and eke out a life in this city (spoiler: itās none again). It remains fu**ing wild to me that nearly anyone who wants to run a business in this city has to first put up with some guy named Carl who last worked for OMB in 1987 say that heād really rather they only be open from 1-3pm on alternate Tuesdays because the shadows cast by business patrons might damage the rare book collection he keeps near the front windows of his home.ā

Iād say I generally follow the teachings and live the values that right-wing Christians pretend to believe in: you know, loving your neighbor and taking care of the poor and seeing the worth and potential in every person and whatnot. To the extent that you can map me onto the political spectrum, Iād fairly describe myself as progressive; but I also think the left/right dichotomy is often reductive, and both mainstream political parties can be pretty lame and show excessive deference to the status quo at the expense of pursuing transformative change."

I knew this administration wouldnāt be perfect but this is more awful than I could imagine. There's definitely some outrage, and apparently MVP ripped Alex Mayorkas a brand new asshole the other day. I have no idea why they are repatriating people to Haiti right now. I don't know enough about immigration law to know what they can do instead but there has to be a better solution than this.

I read an article this morning on MPR/NPR about Afghan refugees at a military camp in Wisconsin who haven't been given a change of underwear or clothes yet, and they wait for 5+ hours in line for food and the food runs out. HOW IN THE LITERAL FUCK IS THIS HAPPENING.

I can't tell if this is a good development or not after reading the article? Like I agree with this part: On Monday, an Arkansas man said he decided to file a lawsuit to test the constitutionality of the Texas measure after reading a news report about Braidās declaration. Oscar Stilley, a former lawyer convicted of tax fraud in 2010, said he is not personally opposed to abortion, but believes that the measure should be subject to judicial review. āIf the law is no good, why should we have to go through a long, drawn-out process to find out if itās garbage?ā Stilley said in an interview after filing the complaint in state court in Bexar County, Tex., which includes San Antonio. Buuuuut, then I read this: āIf the state of Texas decided itās going to give a $10,000 bounty, why shouldnāt I get that 10,000 bounty?ā said Stilley, who is currently serving his 15-year federal sentence on home confinement. Sounds like it's a good development:
