I am not a UK citizen, but my opinion is that leaving is a mistake. This is, however, not a topic I'll really dive into here.
Meanwhile, today I leave you with Seamus Heaney:
So if you want to skip over this, read it on the 5th or later (or never), I would certainly understand why. I do want you to enjoy your celebrations. But I'm posting anyway.
Two current world events I am interested in are:
1) Trump meeting in private with Putin. GOP senators just finished their meeting with Russian officials. I find this more than a little suspect, let's say. So yes, interesting to see how this shakes out.
Also ...
2) The ongoing actions of this administration to separate children from family members when they arrive in the U.S. Our Constitution states that all people coming into our country, either legally or illegally, are to be afforded due process.
I believe there are laws laid out for all people to be taken care of in a humane way. The vast majority of actions taken seem to be anything but humane.
This particular issue is far from resolved, even if a few families hae been reunited. Much of this is quite disheartening to read about - and frankly some of it sounds like torture - but I don't want this to be swept under the rug. It is still happeing. We have coming up many other real and serious things we need to deal with, yes. But this continues to be urgent and terribly important.
So .. I am posting this partifcular thread because you can read, as you scroll down, brief exerpts at the top. There are 900 pages of declarations recently released. The quotes from the refugees and the people trying to help them, are searing. I think if you want to read all of the document, that's great. But at least in this particular twitter thread, you can get a feel for much of the content by scrolling through.
3 excerpts from with this thread:
That police chief is a total conservative moron:
" The stabbing victims were from Ethiopia, Iraq and Syria, the police said. Chief Bones said there was no evidence that the attack was a hate crime."
Had it been American born kids it would have been called terrorism. Hypocritical as always, but that is not surprising considering the current state of affairs in the US.
That's basically all I can say, as anything else would be a cynical remark on the state of affairs. Is today a good day to show how karma works? After decades of meddling in elections all over the world to enhance freedom oil trade you are now confronted with the same from one of your biggest rivals?
Or should I refer to the immigration-build country that upheld 'human rights' so often now taking babies from mothers who seek refuge from (drug)war torn countries (situations not in the least aided by US meddling)?
You're not even capable of protecting your own kids in schools, like any third-world country. Should I mention that?
The swamp wasn't 'drained', it overflowed.
I do wish you the best of luck, and all the wisdom in the world, as you'll need it. Stop beeing complacent but go on the Streets and fight for human rights. Not only those of immigrants, but your own. Because before you know it, you ARE a war-torn third world country.
This new area of possible development may be happening only to induce fear and continue to distract, to tear our country apart rather than unite (the ongoing motives of the Trump administration). Or it may actually have the intention of removing naturalized U.S. citizens. We'll have to see how this plays out. But if this continues to evolve, please contact your govt representatives (local and federal). This is the sort of quiet thing, done on the side, that would fit the agenda of this administration.
A Trump protester is sitting near the feet and won't come down.
Can't wait to see what amazing progress the coming Trump/Putin lovefest yields based on THIS success.
Then I caught the end of the White Sox Reds at Great American Ballpark Cincinnati, and then I watched the entire Cardinals Diamondbacks game at Chase Field Phoenix.
Stadiums were packed in both Cincy and Phoenix.
What a great show of patriotism. Fans decked out everywhere in red white and blue. Flags everywhere.Made for great spectacle. Major League Baseball even outfitted all players with USA stars and stripes knee socks. Announcers even got into it.
Baseball really is the Great American past-time.
America is greatest nation on earth
Very proud to be honorary American on this day
I may yet find a way to legally live stateside for
half the year.
Another example of a not-so-great look from Trump detractors. Never okay for anyone to stoop to these low levels - I don't care what the situation is. Initiating stuff like this is unacceptable.
Agreed. Speaking your mind in a respectful manner is one thing, but I can't get behind a member of either side who resorts to violence and physical assault.
Yes, that was sinking to a low. I understand the anger, but never the initiation of physical confrontation. And I bet he'd not have done it to a big muscular guy, which makes him sort of a coward as well.
A member of Identity Europe was recently beaten unconcious by a group who call themseves HopeNotHate.
Or is he...?
It is confirmed as same poison, the newest incident in England, but the way the couple came into contact with it is not yet clear.
So that is way overdue and good news.
Here's a look at who is replacing him, though.
And just saw this. Nice.
