All sickening and true. I finally received my accurate birth certificate 50 years into my life with big ugly cartoon characters across it saying: This is not a legal document. So the truth is a lie and a lie is the truth. Not new, never necessary nor forgivable.
They push back with "it's a real birth certificate because it's issued by the state" but if it has info on it that's not factual, how can it be real? That's the way they need to start viewing their own citizenship. From the lens of the "state decides what's real" and what isn't. 🥚

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz
Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

I didn’t know about this day. It also happens to be my first mother’s birthday. She passed before I ever met her. It’s also the day we remember the children who died. No wonder I awoke with a heavy heart. Hugs to all who celebrate.
October 30 = Adoptee Remembrance Day
Tomorrow we bear witness to the unbearable losses that co-occur with adoption.
No sugar coating.
We all do this in the ways in which we can.
Some years I am able to do more, less, nothing…

So, the only “Latino” character doesn’t even warrant actor identification? Glad I’m not seeing that one. Come on, Hollywood. Do better. Especially now. Argh.
