Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps.

I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.

For more on how conditions at Dilley are affecting children, read my latest for @nbcnews.com
I interviewed a family of Russian asylum seekers who’ve been held more than four months at the Dilley detention center in Texas.

As we spoke over Zoom this week, their daughter Kamilla was one day shy of turning 12. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday.

She replied: “To get out of here.”
'Even in Russia, they don't treat children like this': A family's nightmare in ICE detention
A Russian couple and their children sought asylum in the U.S. In a Texas detention center, they say they endured worms in the food and hourslong waits for medicine.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.
European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

#YEG / Edmonton peeps!
See my previous posts. I am again looking for a temporary place for Kilee, a lovable dog. He doesn't bark, doesn't chew, and is house-trained. He reacts aggressively towards other dogs and isn't ideal for cats. The owner is homeless after the two fled an abusive house. Anybody? #yeg

Heraskevych’s choice to forfeit the medal chance instead of give up the memorial helmet is the biggest story in Ukraine today. Everyone is heartbroken but there is a unanimous consensus that this was what had to happen rather than to give up.

Dinner companion of President Trump* says what?

*Giving him his official title and name, as irritating as that may be, is important when noting his willingness to mis with pigs like this.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

This needs to be read, and attention needs to be paid. We can't let ourselves get numb to this.

I should also note that while they may not admit it publicly, this is the world Alberta separatists want.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Damn, what a photo.
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

A reminder that this is not actually an apology.
Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe said that he’s sorry if some have been offended by anti-immigrant comments. Ratcliffe faced criticism by both political leaders and fans after he said the U.K. had been “colonized’’ by immigrants.

Edmonton: Lower taxes!
Infill (lowers costs), 🚲 lanes (reduce expensive 🚗 dependency).

Also Edmonton: No, not like that.

Edmonton: Make this city more vibrant!
Infill brings people in to shrinking nhbds, including renters, just like vibrant cities like Montreal.
