  Heads of state generally keep their cultural garb at meetings regardless of county. It’s why it was double stupid to insult Zelenskyy the way they did. But this faux pas is a distraction. There’s no use wasting energy on Trump’s outfit when he’s deporting infants who are us citizens.

    I would’ve stopped at infants.

      Honestly. It’s horrible that he’s sending people who are legally allowed to be here to his concentration camp, but it is also equally horrible that he’s sending people who aren’t legally allowed to be here to his concentration camp.

      Immigrants are good. Immigration is good. Everything about this is fucked up and goes against the soul of America.

      Yeah prob, I was trying to highlight more absurdity but once you reach 100% It doesn’t really go any higher

      I was just reading an article saying it’s terrible we’re deporting a ton of kids who never speak to a lawyer. Then it said the proportion had gone up, and cited the old pre-fascism figure. The smaller number was also appalling!

      So, clearly sickening all around.

      Anybody know what the proper path forward would be? Say the proper interim path. If giving the best representation to all kids means thankfully more get to stay, might it change the calculus of parents put in impossible situations and lead them to strategically abandon their children here hoping they’ll get a better life? And maybe it’s an entirely rational decision at least at first—but eventually even more kids might slip through the cracks. And as costs for anything balloon, negative attention does too. Negative attention sucks oxygen even when you’re willing to fight.

      And public defendants already have like negative time to spend with their clients, we desperately need more.

      Fucking sucks

    He wore a blue suit and was an asshole is a much bigger problem than his arresting judges and ensuring the torture and death of fellow humans. The society as a whole is fucked.
