Stephen Miller @StephenM σ The Biden judge is effectively kidnapping these migrant children and refusing to let them return home to their parents in their home country. Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney . Aug 31 BREAKING: A federal judge has "blocked the Trump administration from abruptly deporting 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children-perhaps within a matter of hours-granting an emergency restraining order after advocates called the plan illegal + dangerous.

recent report from the Guatemalan Attorney General came to light that undermines Defendants’ claims about parental reunification. According to that report—the contents of which Defendants do not contest, see Hearing Tr. at 22—the “National Attorney General’s Office” received a “legal memorandum” from ORR in July “containing a database of 609 adolescents between the ages of 14 and 17.” ECF No. 40-2 at 2. The office then tried to “identify and locate family resources” for these children. Id. at 3. But of “the 609 adolescents listed,” the Attorney General’s office had “phone numbers” for “only 204” of the families, and it “could only confirm the information of 115.” Id. Before “conducting home visits” with those families, the office called them and “discovered that the families were surprised”—and “some even annoyed”—by the outreach because “many” did “not expect” their children “to be returned to Guatemala.” Id. Some “calls went unanswered” or to “disconnected” phone lines. Id. And when the office tried to visit the homes, parents for 59 of the children “reject[ed] the request” and refused to “subject themselves to an assessment to determine if they were a suitable family resource.” Id. at 4. In the end, only parents for about 50 to 57 of the 609 children that ORR identified to Guatemala “were willing to welcome back their children.” Id. at 3–4. Even within that small group, though, “none of them was requesting their [child’s] return.” Id. at 4. The parents of one child explained why: their daughter “had received death threats and therefore could not live in” Guatemala, so they would “do everything possible to get her out of the country again” if the United States sent her back.

When Judge Sooknan stopped the midnight flights, Stephen Miller lied and said a "Biden judge" was "kidnapping" kids and blocking them from reuniting with parents.

As "Trump judge" Kelly writes in his opinion, that entire premise was invented. Not ONE parent in Guatemala requested reunification.

FOMO everywheeeeere

if you start something with guess what, and you're being serious, my answer is always no

It's the same n*zis tactics

The things is, the left creates words that unite people because they care about community; the right waits for us to do that, and then co-opts it so it's meaningless

he is one of the worst human beings alive

I don’t know, I just don’t think we should be making decisions with geopolitical implications that could result in millions of deaths and catastrophic damage based on a passage in Genesis.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Absolute fucking 🔥.

"Over eight hours...people throwing back tear gas...throwing anything that they could to defend themselves...Border Patrol retreated. “And the hundreds of workers in the factories were able to escape. If any community was going to fight back without apology, it was this one."

This is the spirit of Los Angeles.

This is California.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

it also means I have felt a deep hurt in my chest, but instead of shying away from it, I welcome it and am grateful for it

it is only my second week of classes and so much has come up for me already, I am learning and practicing the true art of listening, and I am reconnecting with parts of myself that were lost

I have so much to be grateful for, despite my current struggles, and I want to ensure I remember that daily instead of allowing myself to be consumed by anxiety for the future, or for decisions I may or may not have to make

it's a truly transformative process that I am grateful to be part of this term, alongside my classmates, who I have really connected with since September

to be clear, my professor is a white woman who learned circle pedagogy and facilitation from an Anishinaabe woman and she understands her limits as a settler engaging in this practice

two of my classes are done in circle and I never could have imagined how powerful and emotional it would be

also I never understood how people would end up with like, so many emails in their inbox, I always file away or delete things where necessary but now I understand

you know what I love? me, I am cool as hell

for the nummie nummies

I have an idea of how I want to structure each day but it relies on me being a person I Am Not

I think the suggestion that any kind of human-to-human interaction should be replaced with human-to-chatbot interaction should be scrutinized as a kind of moral rot. It’s antisocial ideology and should be treated as such

chatgpt may now access the internet at large to generate natural language answers to queries but it definitely also still offers to find you exact quotes from texts and then fully makes shit up without saying thats what its doing, so, like, its still trash garbage at a foundational level

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists.

But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

obviously, do you see those pupils??
