You said you want the judge, who has way more information than you, to determine the father is unfit for the child. That’s fucked up.

He is probably worried about this leading to a loss of custody down the line.

In the case of dudes in general, probably.

We’re asking them to take that responsibility on without much of our guidance and advice, and if they stumble in that pursuit, we hope you notice.

Let me get this straight; her new show got cancelled after two episodes and her remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show was a doozy and got panned by the critics, “so it was only a matter of time before she got snapped up by another project”? What’s next - another cancellation followed by the inevitable lifetime…

Wellllll two recent governors are still in jail for corruption, so maybe not the worst EVER, but I feel you.

You’re correct. It’s an ethically dubious position that I would choose to put my own child above other children regarding her education - and yet, I’m only human. Both of my sisters-in-law are teachers in the public school system who work in underserved schools and who put in tons of personal resources to help their…

I think it depends on where in GA. Closer to Rome is more like Chapel Hill, NC. Closer to Atlanta is like any big city area. In the sticks . . . well, bless your heart.

With such a lovely father no wonder the kid wouldn’t leave the playhouse.

Yeah, my husband is coming home from a long work trip tonight. I miss him even more right now. He’s such a good person. And I don’t want to ever leave him and I know one day one of us will have to leave the other and that is crushing me now.

I can’t do anything about that so instead I will shovel the driveway so he…

Furthermore, ICE’s leeway in whom they go after and when is the very thing that makes DACA possible. DACA asks for low-priority enforcement. It’s much like low-priority laws surrounding small quantities of weed, relying on law enforcement judgment and discretion to make sure we arrest bad people, but not a kid with a…

From the article above: “Among DACA recipients—which is a path to citizenship for people whose parents brought them to the US as children—Vargas is not the first to be targeted....”

Teens who are undocumented can still get part time jobs, particularly if they’re dreamers. They get a 2 year work permit per renewal.

I’m using an analogy to illustrate a point; I’m not saying that letting your DACA status expire is just like letting your insurance policy lapse. I’m not saying Vargas did anything wrong, I’m saying that there’s a legal technicality that’s being exploited by the people who want to deport her. If we want to fix this,…

She’s 22. How the hell does she have clothes, glasses, a house, a gun (her family had one in the house when they caught them), a car? They had a source of income. You’re telling me that they didn’t have the forethought to save up money for something as important as her DACA application? That just means there’s a lot…

I man, if you have house insurance, and then let it lapse because you can’t pay the bill for a little while, and your house burns down, but then you pay your bill and re-activate your policy, you’re not gonna have an easy time convincing the insurance company to pay for your burned-down house despite the fact that you…

It’s actually super important. DACA doesn’t make people who immigrated as children safe. It just temporarily postpones deportation as long as the order remains in place and people renew their DACA status. (It’s “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals,” not “Citizenship for Childhood Arrivals” or “Permanent Green Card…

While they likely are being punitive to teach her a lesson, they are correct in their legal analysis. She entered on the Visa Waiver Program, and if you enter that way you sign away your right to a hearing in immigration court if you overstay the period of authorized stay. It’s a really awful provision for people in…

She paid but she didn’t pay it on time. They’ve got her on a technicality.
