It was 9-year-old Maria Antonia’s dream to visit Disneyland
It turned into a nightmare-4 months of being detained by ICE at Dilley
She’d “wake up in the middle of the night crying, fearful she would never leave [or] would be separated from her mom”
Nobody should hire Tricia McLaughlin ever again

IDK what repercussions need to come from this (aside from the one you already suggested) but they need to be drastic.

If you are confiscating writing materials from imprisoned children because they smuggled out a letter that described the conditions they're living under, you are a literal monster and should be treated accordingly.

The Canopy Collapse That Changed Serbia: A Movement Against Privatization and Corruption
A train station’s canopy collapsed in Novi Sad, Serbia in Oct. 2024, killing 16 people. For protesters who participated in a mass movement, the collapse illustrated how corruption has become life-threatening.

I sure do wish I could buy cheap solar panels and an in-town EV from China. The ridiculous fossil fuel industry ghouls are making Trump more powerful while polluting the air and water. Living in the US right now feels like being forced to smoke cigarettes to make evil people richer.
No one does renewable energy better than China.
Canada’s landscape and access to oceans makes us a perfect candidate for cooperation.
Added bonus:
No one fights wars over solar panels and rechargeable batteries.

I think it could be a slur referring to people from Scotland recruited by English lords to oppress and control their Irish tenants. Then imported to America and put to work abusing and controlling other oppressed people.
serious q: was the invocation of "scotch-irish" heritage a thing invented by racists to be a dogwhistle to racists, or does it have a real historical basis re US immigrants?

For some reason appearing to work is uncool among that set.
While not all, many of the privately educated men who have gone through one of the top six schools and top three universities. Then onto the city before going into politics, are probably the most laziest, work-shy demographic in Britain.
I think I read he holds the second lowest attendance of any MEP and turned up to 2 meetings of the fisheries committee.
Unfortunately, as long as he promises to deport some brown people, his supporters don't care.

a lot of us got to attend college when tuition was still affordable for someone with no family money
yeah, we had it easier than we knew but we complained CONSTANTLY because our parents were all getting divorced and it messed us up a lot I guess !

(2) we’re pretty well off financially, we got houses while mortgage rates were crazy low and have been in the market run up, so we can be preoccupied with culture war bullshit

Yup. She's a professional communicator and expert in world affairs. She knows exactly what she's doing. That guy is a goofy miguided naïf. Even I can see that.
I’d argue her face’s expressions were intentional and meant to spread online. She’s not playing poker. She’s trying to signal alarm and call attention to his lies and it’s working.
Politico published symbolic awards following the Munich Security Conference, naming EU foreign policy chief Kallas for Worst Poker Face. She was seen pressing her lips and puffing her cheeks as US UN ambassador Mike Waltz praised Washington for ending several wars. The reaction spread quickly online

Even Americans are reducing exposure to U.S. technology and services. The key is to try to end your dependence on platforms controlled by oligarchs and wealthy tech bros. Any company that exists to extract as much wealth as possible to benefit a few gross dudes is a bad bet. Uber, Tesla, Amazon.

I've hated patriarchy with a deep passion since I was a little girl. Not because I was ever treated like this. Maybe it was because I could see how much this horror could hurt me if I ever allowed myself to be "taken care of" by a male in exchange for being pretty and servile.

Essentially, white Southern patriarchs viewed their wives & white kids as socially elevated from the people they enslaved, but still entirely subservient to him. (And, of course, they viewed their Black kids & the Black women they assaulted as slaves.)
