Yup.

You are devastatingly correct on this.  

Religion is the scapegoat. This wasnt such an issue - Rohingya were elected to the government positions in the 40s and 50s. It wasn’t perfect, far from it, but my god babies weren’t being thrown alive into fires. The 1982 Citizenship law is the foundation for this horrific behavior. That was the beginning of the end…

Myanmar is not a theocracy.

The rest of the world has such a peaceful view of Buddhism, goes to show that any religion taken to an extreme is dangerous.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

I work in immigration. Some days I have to almost physically remind myself that there are areas that are outside of my control, and that I can’t do good work by ignoring what I can do to obsess over what I can’t.

College: that special time when we all experiment with bad toupees.

And after thousands of people are dead and the killing tapers off, we’ll all read long-form pieces in The New Yorker about this, Netflix will produce a documentary on it, and a movie about it will win an oscar and everyone will say “Never again...”

I work with refugees and this makes me so damn depressed

I want to be surprised by Aung San Suu Kyi, who was once viewed as this true hero of democracy and justice against the military regime, being so deathly silent on (and even worse at times supporting) what’s happening in the country but the woman refused to even let the Rohingya (or Muslims in general) stand as part…

Please report responsibly on this. This is not just about the UN being refused access, this is also about the limits and shortcomings and failures of the institution. The senior UN official has been criticized over her questionable priorities while on post.

That is standard Capitol Hill clothes: Blue Suit, White Shirt, and Red Tie. Even when my dad worked for the fed govt many years ago that was the SOP for photos and public events.

As opposed to Pence, who circles around Trump always with his mouth forming a perfect “O” (that suck up).

Huh. The way I saw it, he was worried Trump would purposely avoid him and he was right. The exhale seemed to me a “Boy, am I screwed next election with my dumbass constituents...” exhale.

Why the fuck are all these assholes wearing red ties? Is this in tribute to Dear Leader or was there a sale at Men’s Warehouse?

Lol. It looked like he really didn’t want to have to shake Trump’s hand, down to that little exhale when it seemed he avoided it.

“Don’t look at me, don’t talk to me, don’t even think for a second that I might exist. Please please please plea- oh, fuck, he’s right behind me.”

You looked like an evil, heartless old man in college?
