#just saw someone online say they think angel wasn’t close with his mom & didn’t have a relationship with his mom at all #which is a totally valid interpretation/headcanon; absolutely #however my italian ass went ??????????????#knowing how much italian mothers—ESPECIALLY old country traditional italian mothers—not only love their sons #but love the absolute fuck out of their BABY sons #the youngest #the littlest #the baby of the family #is fucking sacred #especially if it is a boy #now obv angel has molly #but he is still by definition the youngest SON #so i’ll be super surprised if his relationship with her is nonexistent #then again who knows how much they’re going to lean into angel’s italian heritage #if they lean into it AT ALL past the mafia #and immigrating to new york #which also raises so many questions like was he born in italy and then moved as a kid to america like so many people did during the early 19 #early 1900s????? or did his parents immigrate even EARLIER than that and he was born on american soil???#the very earliest angel could’ve been born based on his age and when he died is 1903 #about half of those early immigrants arrived between 1900-1910 #so #many questions so many questions #i rly do hope they decide to lean into angels italian roots at LEAST a little #but that’s purely because i am italian #so i’d just love to see some italian-american stuff here #anyway this is just me rambling i have to go to bed #clari chatters

The parlor, or living room, of the Rogarshevsky family, who immigrated to New York from Russia in 1901

The kitchen of the Gumpertzes, a German-American family that came to New York in the 1870s

Harris and Jennie Levine ran a garment shop in their tenement apartment at the height of the Jewish Lower East Side.

The Levine family’s kitchen

A view of the 97 Orchard staircase

Founded in 1988 by historian Ruth Abram and social activist Anita Jacobson, the Lower East Side Tenement Museum explores the uniquely American story of immigration and the rich, diverse landscape it continues to create. The Museum took root when Abram and Jacobson discovered 97 Orchard Street — a dilapidated tenement building that had been shuttered for more than 50 years.

A woman who emigrated to the U.S. eats dinner at Ellis Island, November 16, 1920. It cost 25 cents and consisted of soup, bread, meat, potatoes, vegetables, pie, butter, pudding, and coffee. The same meal with a less expensive cut of meat could be bought for 17 cents.

It's not a migrant crisis. It's an orchestrated assault.

Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida took credit for sending planeloads of migrants to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, as part of an apparent bid to force authorities in another state to take responsibility for them.

State Sen. Julian Cyr of Massachusetts told The New York Times that around 50 migrants arrived in two planes about 3 p.m. local time, with no warning.

Fox News Digital, which first reported the story, published a video of migrants disembarking from planes on the island and getting into a van.

"Yes, Florida can confirm the two planes with illegal immigrants that arrived in Martha's Vineyard today were part of the state's relocation program to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations," Taryn Fenske, the communications director for DeSantis, told the outlet.

State Rep. Dylan Fernandes on Twitter said the community rallied to help the migrants, putting them up in a local church.

"Our island jumped into action putting together 50 beds, giving everyone a good meal, providing a play area for the children, making sure people have the healthcare and support they need. We are a community that comes together to support immigrants," he wrote on Twitter.

He also shared photos of the makeshift accommodation.

Cyr, speaking with the Martha's Vineyard Times, criticized the move as a cruel political stunt. On Twitter, he said the migrants had arrived on a charter flight from Texas and appeared to be mostly from Venezuela.

"This is deeply disgusting. This is a cruel ruse that manipulates families that are seeking a better life," he said, describing them as "fundamentally racist tactics."

In recent weeks, the Republican-led states of Texas and Arizona have sent thousands of migrants to Democratic-led areas, including New York, Chicago, and Washington, DC.

They say President Joe Biden's policies are behind a rise in unauthorized migration and that Democratic-led cities should bear the responsibility for them. Some of the areas migrants have been sent to voted to become "sanctuary cities," places where authorities deliberately do not cooperate with efforts to enforce migration laws.

DeSantis is burnishing his anti-migration credentials amid rumors he's positioning himself for a presidential bid in 2024.

Martha's Vineyard is an agricultural area and exclusive vacation destination where former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, as well as Hillary Clinton, frequently spend time. In the offseason, it has about 20,000 residents, and locals told The New York Times there were concerns about the town's long-term ability to host the migrants.

Christina Pushaw, a spokesperson for DeSantis, used the situation to troll liberals.

"Martha's Vineyard residents should be thrilled about this. They vote for sanctuary cities — they get a sanctuary city of their own," she tweeted. "And illegal aliens will increase the town's diversity, which is strength. Right?"

Some of you may have been wondering, "Hey, @dontmeantobepoliticalbut, did DeSantis just use Floridian's taxes to fly migrants in Texas to Massachusetts?"

You'd be half-right. Remember Blue States pay for Red States. Florida used California's reallocated surplus taxes to fly Texas's migrants to Massachusetts...

The $12 million money comes from interest earnings from Florida's $8.8 billion portion of the American Rescue Plan's Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund. It provided $350 billion to state and local governments, which the U.S. Treasury said is "to support their response to and recovery from the COVID-19 public health emergency."

Another interesting thought....
