The Trump admin’s whole case regarding Haitians in Ohio is racism, xenophobia, and lies. There’s literally nothing else to it.
Legal status, proper papers. No criminal record. Employers, neighbors, local leaders say they’re a benefit to the community.
It’s showy, bigoted cruelty, nothing more.

Five years ago tomorrow, thousands of the president's supporters stormed the Capitol.
Trump has since dubbed Jan. 6 a "day of love."

I read The Odyssey for the first time this year. One of the unanticipated delights was finding details in O Brother that I hadn't realized harkened back (e.g. "He's a suitor!"). Highly recommended.
Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.
