Well, right now, they’re teaching kids that the Transatlantic Slave Trade was actually a “guest worker” program, so nah. We’re not big on education here.

Not mentioned in this story is the mural of Trump erected in the Brownsville, TX, detention center. The Trump brand is getting more and more scary.

I think we’re long past that. A lot of these agents get some kind of sick pleasure out of doing shit like this.

Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. Has world history ever been comprehensively taught in USA public schools?

“Those who enter the country will be prosecuted in accordance with the Department of Justice zero-tolerance policy.”

People truly don’t understand how easy it is for civilization to fall down the slope to ‘just following orders.’

THIS x 1000. Punching down at the departed is a whole new level unnecessary blaming.

I loved the story because it really elucidated how someone like Trump is possible because of New York. It’s a place where if you’re white and you know what buttons to press, the world is your fucking oyster

Hot take: SATC was for white women and loved pretty much only by white women, am I right? I’m of the target age group that loved the show, but I’m not white. Even when the show started airing back in the late 90's, I never envied Carrie or wanted her life. I thought her ‘fashion’ was over the top silly, she was…

“ I’ve been seeing stuff criticizing people for posting suicide prevention numbers - including one friend of mine who said ‘suicidal people know the numbers.” Having taught 7-9 graders that had the opportunity to write the facillitators of the group anonymous questions I can assure you they do NOT know the numbers and…

At what point will someone finally consider the idea that not everything needs to be remade/rebooted/redone? I realize that coming up with “new” ideas involves actual work and creativity, but damn.

Boo-liani?

Are we sure some of them weren’t saying Boo-urns?

That’s right, boo.

Oh you know a guillotine is far too humane and enlightened for what these motheruckers want. They’d prob rather burn the slutty mcslut at the stake and, I don’t know, give the man a pat on the back and say, “It’s okay, buddy. It’s not your fault. We taught that bitch a lesson so it’s all okay now.”

Children are definitely property in his worldview. It match conservative theology to a T.

Hypothetical, because good women only sleep with one partner at a time:

Doesn’t the idea that the fetus is ‘property’ negate the argument for life beginning at conception? If it’s a person, and you can’t own a person, you can’t it’s not anyone’s property?

No wonder he’s so popular with Christian conservatives. He was also unusual among pro-life legislators for openly saying that he wanted women to be punished if they got abortions (for destroying some man’s property). He wasn’t content with threatening doctors.
