Punishingly Intricate

I've not seen her but deVos shows up regularly at the salon in the bottom of our building in Georgetown. My one coworker has seen her 2x and struggles with the best response. Imo, the ol' double flipper's meaning is pretty effective at getting your point across.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

According to NYT and the Guardian Trump is signing an executive order today to keep families detained together.

No word about reuniting the children already stolen and warehoused.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

um ... I really hope it's not true, but I've read some reports that they aren't tracking which kids came with which parent(s), making reuniting them difficult if not impossible

And a number of people have raised questions about where the girls and very young children are - the photos that were released by DHS are all of boys and adults. I fear the worst.

Our wings are not tired.

Or entrails. IJS.

It may come to that.

No doubt with the vile bogus potus spouting on about how he just had to stop this horrible situation Obama created the moment he heard about it.

I do not even know how they can make this right. Sen Nelson here is Florida tried to get access to a facility at Homestead with a thousand occupants, after being told he could, and was denied entry. Told to come back in two weeks. His job is oversight. This is in his state. It is just insane.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's still the same system where little kids have been supposedly representing themselves in immigration court, right? What a fucking cluster, regardless of what happens next.

I had read some reports of the young girls basically being babysitters for the toddlers and infants. Who knows. I can guarantee there won't be congressional committees investigating.

Today's irony (well, possibly MOST ironic) - today is World Refugee Day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's so terrible and I can't even imagine how a fix could happen, but clearly something needs to!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I took the afternoon off with a stomachache, but maybe my stomach hurts because everything is awful. Who knows.

Just for a change, something NICE.

And a very brief video of a cute costume and the right way to take a picture.
