IF it had to be remade (it didn’t), and you wanted to change the time period, WHY would you think a contemporary white family is the way to do it? Make them a Black family in WWII: Meg works at a factory instead of as a governess; instead of pinching her nose, Amy attempts to lighten her skin to fit in at school.

Louisa May Alcott is spinning in her grave.

Last post of this kind, today, I promise.

““Border Patrol confiscates all personal items from everyone. They take hairbands, they take shoelaces, they take belts, they take money, they take wedding rings, they take all personal items. They took the shoelaces from the children.”

It doesn’t get any better if you change the order within the stanza.

Trump’s popularity has only been going up lately because the economy is doing well, and because most Americans are too stupid or too ignorant to realize that he (like most Presidents, but even more so in his case) has had little to no practical impact on those numbers. The tax bill that he signed—but had no hand in…

HOW YOU CAN HELP.

I have just written a post about this.

This is so fucked up, and it’s just a bargaining chip for the administration. Torture children to force Dems to make cuts to legal immigration (and make Donald feel like a big man). Abusing children doesn’t make you “tough on immigration”, it makes you a vile person.

I can’t believe I forgot about the new SCOTUS ruling. :( I’m coming from a unionist point of view. When we enforce the shit out of the contract, they stop fucking with us. I’ve done it and I’ve seen it work. The Janus Vs. AFSCME ruling is going to come down any day, and we’re going to have to fight like hell to keep…

Today I graduated with a B.A. in Sociology. It only took me 15 years to finally get a college degree, but I did it. I finally did...something with my life.

I just need to write that I fucking hate men that are fucking abusive and I hope they burn in hell.

Men get to ‘have it all’ (education/career/money/family/property) because they traditionally rely on others to do the actual work (wives, secretaries/assistants, junior staff, maids/cooks/gardeners/nannies etc). Women tend to be doing all that and trying to work at the same level as men, without the same support…

“The children can be taken care of quickly, beautifully, and immediately,” he told reporters on the White House lawn. “The Democrats forced that law upon our nation. I hate it, I hate to see the separation between parents and children.”

These tent camps are unlicensed. They don’t have to give appropriate care with caregivers who have background checks and are trained to be with children. They have contracted ARMED Guards to work there. In 105 degrees these children are going to die.

You know how we saw the pictures from that boy’s facility? Where is the girl equivalent of that? I’m horrified for what that must be like.

Remember all the people screaming about how Obama was going to round up people and put them in FEMA camps? Well now it’s really happening, and it happening to children. Where are all the conspiracy theorists now? Out buying new MAGA hats and assault rifles is my guess.

Exactly. Why are people being put in federal prison for complying with the law? The entire situation is abhorrent but asylum seekers have the best claims right now. Fucking human rights violations.

Like asylum seekers have been doing?

“The Trump administration is looking into erecting tent cities in El Paso, Texas to house up to 5,000 unaccompanied minor children separated from their parents as a result of the Trump administration’s horrifying policies.”
