The concept of professionalism, appropriateness, and footwear is interesting. I grew up in a rural community where you would get laughed out of town for wearing high heels on the main street or at the very least identified as “not from here.”

Fuck. I’m vacationing in Europe this summer. I dread all the questions I’m going to get about this dumbfuck.

What even is this? His out-loud internal monologue/unedited train of thought where he thinks he’s explaining some intelligent point that shows how smart he is... This is insanity.

This is no more about Justin Bieber than the “Cry Me a River” video was about Britn—oh.

Is this real? If it is - holy shit we don’t learn from our past.

Dude she’s trying to get a woman out of prison! In what world is that a bad thing.

The believability should RAISE the level of fear, not reduce it.

Newsweek’s first paragraph:

How much time “on the inside” do you honestly think a United States senator will spend on a trespassing charge? Maybe two hours?

Shades of the Jim Jones cult in Guyana. These sane senators should take it in shifts to show up and demand to be taken into the facility. Now that they’ve turned away Merkeley, Feinstein at al should just get on a plane and show up in sequence, until they all get arrested, or somebody actually lets us look inside.

Counterpoint: he can fight better from the outside and trespassing is still trespassing.

Senator: It’s at this point that you’re supposed to refuse to leave until you have been allowed in or until the police forcibly removed you. This kind of demonstration only works if you (a) get in or (b) get arrested. There is no (c) leave willingly but perturbed.

I find myself both annoyed and relieved by the amount of attention family detention is getting now. Annoyed because we’ve been screaming about this for years now, because the conditions in ORR custody and at Dilley and Karnes are always bad, because hieleras have been an issue that advocates have been shouting about…

This is what happens when people don’t vote.

No, those children aren’t doing anything. They’re just in there.

I’m extremely disappointed in myself for not knowing this has been going on under previous administrations. This kind of Nazi bullshit is not OK under any circumstance.

Even lawyers can’t get in to these detention facilities.

yeah... blacked out windows and refusing people entry sure dont point to anything good

We are far, far past holy shit. There’s nothing holy about this.

Holy shit.
