thankful daycares are closed this week because if they weren't you'd have these assholes showing the people who care for kids refusing to let them see the kids for obvious reasons, so you'd still get the WHAT ARE THEY HIDING while making caretakers targets for the worst people.
Now random douchebags are showing up to daycares thinking they’re going to break a big story.
Many daycares are closed this week due to the New Year.
Good lord.

“Self-deport” is a whitewashed way to describe “fleeing the country under the threat of state violence.” I agree with Maria here — it’s important to call that exactly what it is.
What. No.
Don't use their language, @newyorker.com that is not even a real word. What the hell is wrong with "flee" or like. "Flee this godforsaken country"

I’m appreciative of any post that uses the phrase “buckle up” at the start. It lets me know it can be safely discarded.
I regret to inform you there’s a new post telling us we’re rubes who’ve missed the obvious & clear meaning of the Const’n for a century.
This is the type of post you make when your goal is to juice engagement from those who want nothing more than to be told their policy goals are const’l commands.
