ending the TPS for Myanmar is an unmitigated humanitarian disaster which will end up sending people to torture and probable death.
This is really concerning. The Junta in Myanmar will arrest, conscript or kill many of those the US may return.
We honestly cannot understand how the US admin can say the situation in Myanmar is improving when ALL EVIDENCE IS TO THE CONTRARY.

Emmanuel walked away from his mom’s fruit stand to find a bathroom. She looked for him all over Houston, and after several hours, she filed a missing person’s report with Houston PD. Houston firefighters found him within 24 hours. But police turned him over to ICE, who held him captive for 48 days.

On any given day, thousands of adults are detained in remote facilities in Arizona solely because of their immigration status. The vast majority don’t have an attorney and are forced to represent themselves in immigration court, severely impacting their chances to win their case.

These people were forced into remote desert ‘camps’—promised they’d be arrested and deported if they left—but given no food, shelter, water, or medical treatment except what the local community of a few hundred folks gave out of charity.

Two years ago tonight we were setting up dumpster dived pink tents for migrants in the freezing cold and wind in the desert, they were held there for days without food water or shelter other than what we could share with them. That was the Biden admin, in case anyone thinks it was all good before.

This is absolutely the case. The act of becoming a refugee or seeking asylum can, in and of itself, make return to one's home country dangerous.
Fundamental issue here is that countries are neither safe or unsafe. It is people who are safe or unsafe in countries. Simply declaring a country safe is not logical, at least until we know all people in it will be safe.

And to be clear, the six reported injuries were nosebleeds, which is what happens when you have barotrauma.
I’ve been asking since June, if a passenger is handcuffed and the handcuffs are attached to a chain around their waists, can they even reach up to grab their masks? Seems like no.

Im glad its raining, we need it. But also just over an inch of rain totally shuts down our city and causes flooding because we spent all our money on real estate grift and lampposts that are spies
A lot of daily rainfall records fell Saturday, inlcuding in San Diego. The monthly total for the city is up to 1.42 inches, making this the wettest November since 2019, when 2.72 was recorded. Normal for all of November is 0.79. More rain is expected this week. #sandiegoweather #CAwx
