Jesus, man, he's already dead!

Thank you for doing this, it's pretty amazing! Don't you wish you could be a fly on the wall when they see all the gifts and new supplies?

This is the maddening, overwhelming truth of it all. Wars involving white people are problems to be discussed and solved; wars involving black Africans are just things that happen, oh well. All the shouts of "never again" are just a bit of noise when this happens over and over again. Sick.

This is true! My hometown has one of the highest populations of Ukrainians (both ancestral and new immigrants) in the US and the stories they tell are hard to hear. And they say it all like it's normal which is the saddest part. I'm afraid that Americans generally would just prefer to ignore it.

I did some very brief non-profit immigration work with a few women from the Congo and sometimes had to excuse myself for a few minutes to leave the room and cry. We cannot even begin to imagine the horrors people from some of these countries have (repeatedly) faced.

Beautiful! And perfect for her feast day tomorrow, 12/12!

Dumb question, sorry, but how similar is this to Biden putting the SIJ kids into the EB-4 category which caused the backlog for certain religious workers? Is this comparable in that it's obviously funneling people via loophole into a pre-existing category that's not really appropriate?

But would Nawrocki criticize Trump and/or Trump's policy, Sir? Tusk, certainly, would do so, but I feel uneasy about Nawrocki.

I LOVE Edward Gorey illustrations! Was particularly obsessed with them when I was a kid since they're uniquely beautiful, if slightly unsettling.

I haven't seen any, but I'm also very curious! The administration said they would prioritize ticket holders who needed consulate appointments for B visas, but I have no numbers on that.

And not just personal email addresses from the last 10 years, but BUSINESS email addresses! From the last decade! What are we even doing?

Word today is that the ESTA process will also be revamped to include (amongst other things) a new social media review component - seems ominous for anyone who wanted to take a simple vacation to the US for a week or two!

These guys can't/won't do 30 minutes on the treadmill at the gym, but they're all going to fight and win an actual civil war? Sir, be serious, please.

Relitigating every stable aspect (vaccines, birthright citizenship, the 2020 election, etc.) of American life has been exhausting. Every day feels like a colossal waste of time that just consumes so much energy that would be better spent on literally anything else. Exhausting!

You literally can't leave - if you do, you'll receive a denial on the I-485 due to abandonment of the application!

Since this is the guy who celebrated signing the Laken Riley Act (when Gisele was once a Dreamer herself!), perhaps I should be excited and grateful that he doesn't show up to work to sign more dumb shit while "representing" me.

Fetterman can't be bothered to show up to do his job and attend a committee meeting, but he has time for this shit? Man, what a huge mistake to put this guy in office.
