so anyway I met a guy when I was walking out of the metro today
“I’m Polish, I just haven’t been here for thirty years,” he said, and even under the stubble and the fucking haggard look that had me make eye contact before he walked up to me because damn bitch, you okay bro? and I know what kind of desperation puts that kind of look on your face, I pegged him at some mid-thirties, so he’d be like, what, four fucking years old when he left the country, “I’ve just been deported from Chicago, I have no family here, I have no home, I have nowhere to go. So I’m trying to get on a train to Berlin, but all I have,” and he shows me a handful of silver and yellow pennies and a crumpled banknote that is very distinctly not Polish currency, “is these and one dollar, I haven’t slept in two days, I haven’t showered in a week, I haven’t had water,” and he really fucking looks the part too and his voice breaks when he says the train from Warsaw to Berlin is so-and-so fucking expensive, BUT it’s cheaper from Poznan even counting the Warsaw-Poznan course and I’m just glad this man had the sense to beg near an ATM and to ask if I speak English before he said all that
and he was dead certain I’m not serious when I handed him enough for that train ticket and as much over as I could spare so he can remind himself he’s a human being
and I guess why I’m making this post is
@America, kindly get your SHIT TOGETHER
STAT.
Please reblog this. Please keep reblogging this. Please make Americans see this and see it again and over again. Their government is doing this to their own people, and it doesn’t result in anything being made great.
That judge who asked young children if they even knew what a lawyer was and then continued to proceed on their cases is a piece of shit and I hope he rots slowly while alive, he should have refused, what a pathetic evil motherfucker who actually spoke to these children face to face and still proceeded to treat them like criminals and send them off to god knows what kinda awful shit, I hope that sick fuck gets a very slow painful disease
William C Snoufer die bitch
So what this post is talking about is the short film: Unaccompanied: Alone in America, which is a dramatic representation of the plight of unaccompanied minors seeking refuge through America’s immigration courts.
As the Department of Justice does not allow recording devices in immigration courts the film maker used actors to recreate the process as best she could.
William C Snoufer is a retired Judge who agreed to return to the seat to help make the film, he is not someone actually judging these children and I think it was really commendable of him to be a part of this project.
Also I think it’s prudent to note, this project began work in 2014. Unaccompanied children have not had access to US immigration lawyers or translators since at least then, and probably longer. This is not a new problem for the US, just one that has been recently brought to light in the most horrific way possible.
It’s also a level of elitism and classism and ethnic purification and a whole lot of jazz because not everyone will be able to pay these fees and those who can’t will just have to suffer and then America would only be gaining the more affluent of the bunch
Does anyone know if there’s any kind of fund to donate to these families?????
There is! They’ve been collecting since they’ve started, help donate!
If Maxine Waters ends up dead follow this back because it’s a fucking trail that man is crazy
The Left white silence on this is not astounding. They were all for reclaiming my time, but as soon as she says some real shit it’s “you’re too aggressive. You’re so angry”
hey there buddy!! hope ur day is going nice!! this turned into more of a general thing on how the boys got their names, really, so i hope that’s fine w/ you!!
james sirius: tamil families (or at least mine) tend to name firstborn boys after their grandfathers/great-grandfathers (but only if they’re dead– white families don’t seem to have that requirement), so it actually makes sense that harry named the first boy james sirius. it’s a big name for a little boy, though, so harry and ginny decide he needs a nickname. ginny calls him jay once, and that sticks. jay means victory, in sanskrit– an appropriate choice, considering whose son he is.
remus rubeus: remus rubeus got his name because harry wanted to round out his dad collection with two more of his soul dads. harry tends to call remus ram, though, because it’s a tie back to harry’s culture and also ram is a god known for his devotion to his family, especially his brother!! that’d be a big thing for harry, especially considering he’d be worried about the boys being too close together in age!!
(fun fact, if you put my name together with rr’s and jsp’s, you get the phrase sri rama jayam, which means victory to sri ram!! pretty clever work on my part yeah?? ;D)
