Unemployed do-gooder, helper of refugees. Colorado. Multipotentialite--or is that the ADHD? I'm in my third act, or maybe it's my fourth. Maybe it's the epilogue. Anyway, I couldn't find a job after getting laid off, so I guess I'm retired and broke now.

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.
Trump Admin planning a rule to re-decide whether *every* refugee who entered under Biden meets their criteria for a refugee. That’s 230,000 people! And no appeals!

It’s my husband’s birthday, so the traditional decorations have been put up and I’m baking a batch of his favorite pumpkin muffins (we had early cake with family on Saturday). He didn’t want any gifts, so lottery tickets it is.

A couple of years ago, I was trying to explain this to my nieces and nephews--all in their early 30s. They had no idea and thought I was making it up.
I’m just thinking of this because I’m watching football while not paying anybody a penny: Do Americans know that you can (still!) watch HD digital broadcasts of all the major networks over the air, for free, complete with programming guide data, just by hooking up an antenna to your TV?
