I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

it was never about removing criminals or any other threat to society
it was always about abusing and torturing those who, through their race, success, and presence
threaten white supremacy

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

It's much simpler than that. The Boy Scouts aren't maximally cruel to trans kids and so Republicans believe it should be destroyed.

It all began in Italy in the early 1900s, when inventor Luigi Bezzera sought a faster way to make coffee during busy mornings. His creation - a machine that used steam pressure to extract coffee quickly. This gave birth to “espresso,” meaning pressed out in Italian

I wish so deeply that there were a way to get people to stop asking “Are you going home for Thanksgiving / Christmas?”
I am a middle aged adult. The home that I have is the one live in, and calling anything aside from that “home” makes a whole lot of presumptions.

8/ So why are children being left to languish in federal shelters?
Advocates for immigrant kids believe it's to pressure them to self-deport. Last week, lawyers obtained a document the government provides to kids in the shelter system:

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.
