  • Oh goodness JB… that is awful, people close to you succumbing to the expertly-crafted lies of powerful, malicious goons.

    Really sorry to hear that. Neither this country nor our people were educated or prepared for this, broadly speaking.

    Our defenses were so low, I had no idea. I knew we were sucking eggs in education and healthcare and all kinds of things, but I didn’t know we would be susceptible to this kind of Heritage Foundation attack in a post-decorum world.


    I branched out there but anyway, really sorry to know bad people exploited us and left you unable to live a key part of your life in the way you deserve 🖤





  • I was just reading an article saying it’s terrible we’re deporting a ton of kids who never speak to a lawyer. Then it said the proportion had gone up, and cited the old pre-fascism figure. The smaller number was also appalling!

    So, clearly sickening all around.

    Anybody know what the proper path forward would be? Say the proper interim path. If giving the best representation to all kids means thankfully more get to stay, might it change the calculus of parents put in impossible situations and lead them to strategically abandon their children here hoping they’ll get a better life? And maybe it’s an entirely rational decision at least at first—but eventually even more kids might slip through the cracks. And as costs for anything balloon, negative attention does too. Negative attention sucks oxygen even when you’re willing to fight.

    And public defendants already have like negative time to spend with their clients, we desperately need more.

    Fucking sucks
