The US Administration is not engaged in a 'crackdown', which means strict punishment of people who break laws.

It is engaged in a vast and universal program of immigrant exclusion, regardless of legal status, skill, and economic contribution.

No-Empathy was at it again on Thursday

With the Epstein distractions, the story missed the coverage it was due

The AP didn’t run it until Yesterday (Friday)

It may have been posted, but blocking a State Rep from attending an event where he represents constituents, is worthy of resurfacing

The Senate Intelligence Committee

Led by Chairman Marco Rubio

Found that Russia was working to get Trump elected in 2016

And that there were numerous links between Russia and Donald Trump’s campaign

As Democrats on the committee correctly noted at the time

“This is what collusion looks like”

Seriously, holy hell.

Virtually every mainstream outlet has flubbed this limited hangout.

Take Off the Mask, ICE The federal government should prohibit the wearing of masks by ICE agents and require them to properly identify themselves.

But maybe it would be good if he could get a lot of people bc it hurts the right far more than the left…doesn’t it?

Same!

Just looked and I guess a second transport ministry guy also died very recently 😳

Bc I am basing this on my highly unreliable memory, I’m not certain but I think this makes 3 in a very short period of time. But not sure the window guy was in govt. May have been an oligarch of some kind

I think this guy was shot….shot him self but there was another guy who very recently “committed suicide” by jumping from a high window, which is to say defenestration 😳

🤣

Our state attorney general (in CA) filed a suit to do something about how ICE is acting.I doubt it will be in time to help this man 😞

I HATE this!!! We are not treating people with the dignity that they deserve.

Gestapo is right ! &the US right now is eerily similar to Germany in 1933 🥺

🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

That you have nothing whatsoever to apologize for.

I’m very glad you have a saintly sister. I have one of those too. It sure makes life easier 🤭🤫

Still sucks that your Dad is struggling 🥺

emotional. You weren’t. You were just being authentic in a way that I think relates to emotion, which is to say in a way that has more to do with who we really are & what our experiences are really all about.

But I could be wrong. I sometimes am 😂

What I’m not wrong about, however, is the fact 🧵

about being too open or sharing too much bc we are so culturally committed to the absurd idea that we shouldn’t share anything emotional or burden anybody with anything involving genuine feeling.

I just disagree w/ that.

Not suggesting you were being particularly 🧵

Don’t be absurd, Joel!!! If we can’t be authentic, what’s the point? I’m serious. One of my areas of research is philosophy if emotion & I’m pretty convinced that emotion drives almost all of our thoughts & behaviors (to some extent or another). I mention that bc I think we usually worry 🧵

Indeed!!!!

Oh wow—Goose!!! I love how Goose loves watermelon!

Yes, yes, yes!!!!

end up feeling pretty miserable. I have no direct experience of this but have been an observer of close family members who have.

Do you have siblings? I so hope you have siblings &are not dealing with this alone.

Also,your Dad sounds simultaneously extremely frustrating & kind of awesome 🤭

Yikes!!! 😬

This story is funny but also incredibly sad. Dementia is bullshit. I do not approve of its existence!!!!

And I may be wrong but it also seems to be something that our culture gives us very little guidance on so that those of us who end up having to care for someone w/ dementia are 🧵
