We mash up all the leftovers and make these little Thanksgiving fritters called yougots.
So named because years ago, one child (can’t remember which) asked for what ‘yougots’ as we were making leftovers plates, and it stuck.

There's like a dozen House Republican sponsors on the Afghan Adjustment Act. Maybe someone could go ask them how they feel about collective punishment.

What is infuriating about this and so many other immigration policy changes was how preventable they were.
If Congress hadn’t been using immigrants as a political bargaining chip for decades and actually passed something these folks wouldn’t be vulnerable to this admin.

Some DACA recipients are being arrested in the new immigration crackdown, despite having clean records and years of background checks. The policy reality is shifting fast.

a thing about immigrants is that every single one of them is a person, a full human being, no exceptions, whether deemed by this vicious state to be "peaceful" or not smh
This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

This litigation is probably the biggest ongoing immigration policy story that you probably don't know about
New: A federal judge in California ruled that Trump's administration cannot impose mandatory detention on thousands of migrants held by U.S. immigration authorities nationally without first giving them an opportunity to seek release on bond. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Immigration lawyers remember the gov't going down a similar road in Niz-Chavez. Didn't end great for them there.
Do these federal prosecutors understand that an "indictment" is a charging *document*? Like, the actual pages that formally charge someone with a crime?

We invented borders and invented immigration and then invented ways of making immigration illegal and we invented the relationship between crime and immigration. Immigration “enforcement” is literally an hysterical exercise in the pursuit of a fantasy, it is a mental disorder.

Getting annoyed listening to charter school activists lie again and again that charter schools are public schools.
They are not.
They are publicly funded private schools that siphon money away from public schools and produce no better results.
