If anyone is interested, I would recommend the podcast Revisionist History about our southern border and illegal immigration. He makes the argument, using research and sources, that the criminalization of our southern border has actually made the issue of undocumented peoples worse.
Fun fact: the Zyklon B gas chambers were originally built for delousing purposes. Guess who the Nazis got that from? Oh right, US immigration officers spraying it on Mexican immigrants.
When a disaster happens slowly, in installments, people have a tendency to accept each installment.
Most children under five when frightened and scared in a high-stress situation, like fleeing a war-torn hell country to a new place, probably won’t be able to clearly articulate mom and dad’s legal names.
It needs to be made crystal clear that each and every GOP congressmen completely and totally supports sending kids to concentration camps.
In the previous article about this I said this:
Not just celebs, just people period. My husband, whom I love and adore and also comes from an upper middle-class background, says he wants to get away and buy a farm when he gets tired of the city life and its stresses. I have to remind him that he doesn’t even like mowing our backyard and picking up after our dogs,…
We have got to think seriously about something like an underground railroad for these women.
There’s already a bill in California, SB562, that would cover all residents, including undocumented immigrants.

She decided to have all the kids (every 150 in all her classes combined) draw cards with matching numbers on them. I was the second to last to draw and got bestie as my partner,…
Amazon is most definitely teh bad guy here. But, WA state really should also have an income tax. That would definitely help with funding things like this. King county sort of has its hands tied a bit and feels it has to do what it can and what it can is this. I dont think this is ideal but given the circumstances i…
No, nothing would have happened if she had had a cocktail. Also, “two weeks pregnant” is an odd thing to say. You don’t count the start of the pregnancy at conception, you count from your last period which is usually about two weeks before conception, give or take a few days. And even the best pregnancy tests need at…
Jezebel just ran an article about a U.S. man who confessed to kidnapping, restraining, and vaginally and anally raped a 13-year-old girl and was sentenced to probation. The first comment on the article is a prolonged explanation from someone who claims to work in the legal system about how no one should have any…
Isnt that a thing to ponder. That you read it and think “huh. At least they get 9 years” (edit: which was my first reaction too)
It’s always this shit. Violence against women spikes during soccer games in Latin America too. Some days I can’t believe we are just expected to co exist with these huge creatures who haven’t developed a prefrontal cortex. We’re basically living with snakes.
