Oh, the blocking thing is alarming, but that doesn’t make “looking for loads” a single fluid ounce less hilarious.

I think it’s the former.

Yes - this! The public health consequences are underexplored. There was a great article in the NYT years ago, that I wish I could find again bc I talk about it all the time, about an immigrant who had a communicable disease and died. The NYT tracked everywhere he went and his attempts at getting care to show how

I forgot about the lengths that undocumented parents go to to avoid much needed interactions with health care providers, educators, and social service workers. Terrible.

Aaaaand this is exactly why undocumented people don’t report crimes, whether they are the victim or a witness or have some other relevant information. The people who instigate these raids are idiots, making it a hundred times harder to fight real crime. Also, how fucking cruel!

Is anyone else disturbed by the elimination of the Election Assistance Commission? How can we stop gerrymandering and have real elections when no one is even tracking what is going on with the voting machines? I understand that the states are in charge of them, but good God, we at least need some oversight. How did

This is what I see when I look at that photo.

Yep. Follow the money. These people are all craven assholes.

I don’t know who’s going to win, but anyone with a name dissimilar to Worthington Smithery III, Esq. is absolutely going to lose.
