I keep remembering how the first thing an abuser does is cut you off from friends and family. This feels like the global political version of that on an unimaginable scale.

If they are criminals, prove it.
If they are dangerous, prove it.
If they are sentenced, do so humanely and within the law.
None of that changes if they're immigrants.
None of that justifies sending them to a country that isn't their homeland, into conditions our own laws forbid.
There is no trap.

Okay, is this continuing resolution (CR) to keep the US govt open “clean”? I thought it was — based on what gov websites and CNN were saying. But it’s Not Clean. It’s a coward’s path for Congress to cede the White House more of their own power. Dems must vote NO. www.epi.org/policywatch/...

JD Vance best watch this vid ‘cuz yesterday he bitched that his 3-yr-old was scared by a group of protesters shouting “Slava Ukraini.”
The hypocrisy is staggering: This girl lost her leg in a Russian attack & is a symbol of the unyielding strength of the Ukrainian people who are fighting pure evil.

In case you're wondering where "it's not fair for trans women to be in sports" leads, I have been told multiple times (mostly by cis men, ironically) that me practicing law is unfair to "real women".
It's not about sports and never has been.
