Green Card Interviews End in Handcuffs for Spouses of U.S. Citizens

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Everything is Trump to these media people. You're either for or against Trump. No other political distinction means anything to them at all. They're gossip columnists, not journalists.

The President Is Losing Control of Himself Donald Trump’s outbursts on social media this week were different than usual.

This is a new and dire development in the ongoing American constitutional crisis. The voters, Congress, and, yes, the U.S. military must all now be more vigilant than at any time in our modern history.

My favorite movie genres:

-- A motley group of people interact on a train
-- A motley group of people interact in NYC
-- Movies where time passing is shown by a newspaper headline montage
-- Movies where a couple goes to Coney Island in the 1920s/30s/40s
-- Movies where Kay Francis wears gowns

It was great seeing this masterpiece again, and the comments here made me appreciate it even more! #NoirAlley #HighAndLow #TCMParty

A literal dead end #NoirAlley #HighAndLow #TCMParty

I love that Detective Tor Johnson is such a Man of the People. #NoirAlley #HighAndLow #TCMParty

If this happened today, Gondo could just organize a GoFundMe and get the money back. #NoirAlley #HighAndLow #TCMParty

Train scene! They make any movie better! #HighAndLow #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Kurasawa found the man with the saddest face in all of Japan to play Aoki the chaffeur. #NoirAlley #HighAndLow #TCMParty

Here for #HighandLow on #NoirAlley. I just saw this a few weeks ago but Toshiro Mifune is worth another watch! #TCMParty

there are a lot of Dems out there who are finally drafting their own dog to play basketball after being dunked on over and over again instead of just complaining to the refs

they're just in the states instead of DC

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

#BlindSpot was better than it should have been. Good dialogue, and for a mystery with so few characters, it did have a little suspense over who did it.

So looking forward to High and Low next week, one of my favorites! #NoirAlley #TCMParty

For sleepovers, of course. Just look at his jammies. #BlindSpot #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Yeah, if she's not the murderer, she should be. #BlindSpot #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Loving that stair bannister. Apparently the perfect place to store hats. #BlindSpot #NoirAlley #TCMParty

There are states where you aren't allowed to plead guilty? Or is that a movie scriptwriters' invention? #BlindSpot #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Love Steven Geray, ever since I saw him in Mask of Dimitrios #BlindSpot #NoirAlley #TCMParty

I don't know -- he's just as annoying to be around as most drunks are. #BlindSpot #NoirAlley #TCMParty
