It was just a primary, yes, but the district is incredibly Democratic so it’s one of those primaries where a victory in the primary is essentially the same thing as a victory in the general election. In 2016, Crowley beat the Republican by 82.9%-17.1%.

Incredible that she won. What an amazing woman to be going on to Congress!

Totally understand! I definitely understand your feelings; I know someone who managed to immigrate from El Salvador just at the same time as thousands of other refugees were fleeing. Since she came on a normal visa and not a refugee visa she does feel some kind of guilt about privilege to come here so differently to…

Hey! Responded to your other post. Hope things go well!

Hey! As much as I wish that things will go well for your mother, I genuinely don’t know whether they will. The situation you described is super common, unfortunately, as many people don’t understand that you need to answer “yes” even if the charges were dismissed. This is why you should always see an immigration…

I finally caved and went through the 200+ Steam games I have and categorized them into “Completed, won’t play again,” “Will still play,” and “Definitely will never actually play.” Had to face some hard truths.

Because they’re not a priority to most of us; out of sight and mind. The hieleras and perreras have been around for years now, but most Americans think that forcing “illegal immigrants” to suffer for a day or two is just fine.

Ehhh, honestly, no offense, but the refugee camps on run by the Australian government on Manus Island to detain the refugees who arrived by boats are arguably as bad or worse.

Substantially worse, because they’re not designed for overnight stays but since the border surge in 2014 they’ve been holding people for 2-3 days on average. Think police holding cell (benches, toilet, no kitchen facilities) vs. county jail (beds, kitchen facilities, designed for long term detention).

McAllen is often called a “perrera” by people who’ve been through it. That’s “Doghouse,” because the people inside it feel like they’ve been caged like dogs.

That is such incredibly good news on a day like today. Thank you. Hutto was legendarily bad. So many horror stories about detention in Hutto, dating back to the Bush years when in 2006 it was opened as a family detention center.

Terry crushes toxic masculinity!

I’ve found that the length of games really means that I can easily wait until a game goes on sale; if it takes me 200 hours to “finish” a few games, that’s a huge chunk of time and I can bet that by the time I finish those games, another few games with similar play time will have gone on sale.

Ugh that was supposed to say “not charismatic,” hence the “but” in there. Fingers quicker than brain today.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again; Mitch McConnell is genuinely a worse person than Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, or any of the fucking nazis making waves across the country right now. Because he has deliberately run this country into the fucking arms of people like Trump in an exercise of naked power, smug in…

They are similar in nature but different enough and no the democratic party most certainly cares.

You’re full of it. A restaurant refused service to Joe Biden in 2012 and Paul Ryan invited him onto the fucking campaign trail and honored him.

Oh, he’s joygasming at this very moment because the Supreme Court upheld the fucking travel ban.

looked like a million bucks

Yep, I stopped by and gave a response; short version is that the FOIA idea is completely possible but you wouldn’t get an answer probably for months (backlogged FOIA offices). Easiest way to find out frankly is to do more googling and find news articles identifying the sites, as the government will more quickly talk…
