One way you can help fight this is to join ACLU’s People Power campaign. We are currently engaged in the Freedom Cities campaign, which is a grassroots campaign to get local and state officials to stop aiding and abetting ICE (reminder: unauthorized stays are a civil and not criminal matter, and local officials are no…

Fuck any government body that would discourage someone from speaking up against their abusers. ICE is actively targetting people who are VICTIMS of crime.

“operational circumstances” means because it’s easy. They aren’t going after the worst offenders, just the ones they can find standing outside. Meanwhile, this will hurt efforts to reduce crime and well as that gang problem over in Long Island because people can definitely get deported for reporting anything.

I think so, but technically the queen would have been queen consort, not queen regent? I think Diana would have become Queen Diana, and the whole thing with Camilla not getting the title was bowing to public pressure b/c they don’t like her as much as Diana? Maybe? I’m fuzzy on how this stuff works.

“ICE plans to continue arresting individuals in courthouse environments as necessary, based on operational circumstances.”

Yes.

Made a comment and then had to edit so as to not add to the pile. Who knew this topic would blow up like this? 

William and Mary were co-regnants. As far as I know, this was unusual. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_and_Mary

Wordsonawire is wrong. This is only a problem that occurs when a woman is supposed to be the top title. Almost universally, the king’s wife becomes the queen. The only thing is she won’t reign alone if the king dies. She can only be regent to the next king or queen-her child with the king- until they can rule. If…

William and Mary were co-regnants. Camilla will definitely be Queen but as a consort, will not be a reigning Queen. When her husband dies, William takes over.

Lord Darnley, the second husband of Mary Queen of Scots was epically butthurt that she wouldn’t grant him the Crown Matrimonial. This would have given him equal power with her and meant he got to keep the throne if he outlived her. As she also had a strong claim to the English throne, this was a big deal. …

...... Did you mean to say “Help! Help! I’m being repressed!”

His family isn’t even supposed to use that title.

So, in British history, there has never been a simultaneous king and queen?

He did, a long time ago, I think. Liz put her foot down firmly (as she does).

They will be Queen Consorts, not Queen Reagent, like Elizabeth II is.

It’s the same thing. He just thinks that since he has a really minor French title he should have reigned over Denmark and his wife.

It seems weird to me that someone who is a member of the monarchy would not understand how monarchies work.
