I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness, and the willingness to remain vulnerable.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

"I wasn't aware of what the President said"

BASH: The president said very clearly this week he doesn't want Somali immigrants in America. He called them 'garbage.' Is that the real reason this operation is happening?

it's particularly sickening that the US is committing atrocities against immigrants given that it has historically invited and recruited immigrants as a desired labor source. Irvin Ibarguen wrote about this for Made by History. time.com/7334455/immi...
Immigrant Workers Didn't Invade the U.S. They Were Recruited
As aggressively as the U.S. pursues immigrant enforcement, it has also invited and recruited immigrant workers.

The foreign-born fraction of the US population was 15% in 1890, and in 1910. America thrived.

That fraction is 16% now.

The difference is that in 1890/1910, >96% of immigrants were from Europe or Canada. Today that's less than 10%.

It's best to be honest about one one is actually afraid of.
Rep. Kat Cammarck: "Today, one in six people in the US is foreign born. That quite frankly is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for here in the United States."

Spotify uses AI to create audiobooks of authors' work without their permission. This is wild to me. It's worse because it can cannibalize book and ebook sales. Blatant theft, on top of messing over musicians.

One of the reasons I think it’s also essential to not call the boat strikes “war crimes” but “crimes against humanity,” is that it emphasizes that Trump and Hegseth are acting extra-constitutionally and are not entitled to any shield from the courts. This systematic murder of civilians is illegal.
