Trump's Disgusting Zero Tolerance Policy

tldr:

US home grown stages of fascism and population abuses implemented mainly by Jeff Sessions, Steven Miller, Gene Hamilton, and Tom Homan.

- These cunts ignored their colleague's concern for ethics and process in order to justify kidnapping asylum seeking children from their parents, including taking infants from their breast feeding mothers, immediately.

- They ignored the pre-emptive warnings given by Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona Marshals and district attorneys at the borders telling them border patrol didn't have the facilities or staff capacity to handle the increased prosecutions.

- They didn't even bother to consider what they would do with the kids once they stole them. They barely notified DHS of the plan and didn't tell HHS at all. Therefore the was no way to track or document the stolen children.

- All of these assholes knew Trump was too stupid to comprehend the reality of the policy, knew all he was was a dipshit reactionary, and colluded to take advantage of this fact

- The rest of the rank and files had their heads so far up their asses it took thousands of displaced children, stories of parents suffering from grief, and actual leaked audio before they accepted what they were doing was wrong and/or what the news was reporting wasn't liberal bias

The full story:

"Trump-administration officials insisted for a whole year that family separations weren’t happening. Finally, in the spring of 2018, they announced the implementation of a separation policy with great fanfare—as if one had not already been under way for months. Then they declared that separating families was not the goal of the policy, but an unfortunate result of prosecuting parents who crossed the border illegally with their children. Yet a mountain of evidence shows that this is explicitly false: Separating children was not just a side effect, but the intent. Instead of working to reunify families after parents were prosecuted, officials worked to keep them apart for longer."

------------------------

"Elizabeth Neumann, Nielsen’s deputy chief of staff, told me she was shaken by the nonchalance with which McAleenan and Homan had proposed taking vast numbers of children away from their parents. “They were not grasping the humanity of the situation; they were just all about ‘I need Stephen [Miller] off my back. I need the president off my back,’ ” she said. (McAleenan denies this account.) Nielsen’s deputy chief of staff, told me she was shaken by the nonchalance with which McAleenan and Homan had proposed taking vast numbers of children away from their parents. “They were not grasping the humanity of the situation; they were just all about ‘I need Stephen [Miller] off my back. I need the president off my back,’ ” she said. (McAleenan denies this account.)"

----------------------------------------------

"In February 2018, Gelernt met a woman from the Democratic Republic of Congo who had been separated from her 6-year-old daughter. The girl had spent several months in an HHS shelter in Chicago; her mother was being held in an immigration detention center in the desert on the outskirts of San Diego. When she walked into a cinder-block room to meet Gelernt, she appeared gaunt and confused—“almost catatonic from what had happened to her,” Gelernt told me. "

------------------------

"The brutality of Zero Tolerance was immediately evident. The father of a 3-year-old “lost his s—,” one Border Patrol agent told The Washington Post. “They had to use physical force to take the child out of his hands.” The man was so upset that he was taken to a local jail; he “yelled and kicked at the windows on the ride,” the agent said. The next morning, the father was found dead in his cell; he’d strangled himself with his own clothing."

-------------------------

"González said that at the height of Zero Tolerance, about 300 children were separated each day at her facility and crammed into caged enclosures. She spent most of her time inside the enclosures, helping children call their relatives. Sometimes the younger children didn’t seem to fully understand what was going on."

--------------------------

"Recently disclosed internal emails from that time help explain what Bash, Patrick, and the other U.S. attorneys couldn’t figure out—why the plan for reunifying families was faulty to the point of negligence. Inside DHS, officials were working to prevent reunifications from happening. Within days of the start of Zero Tolerance, Matt Albence, one of Tom Homan’s deputies at ICE, expressed concern that if the parents’ prosecutions happened too swiftly, their children would still be waiting to be picked up by HHS in Border Patrol stations, making family reunification possible. He saw this as a bad thing."

-------------------------

"as the trump administration sought to defuse the anger over Zero Tolerance, White House officials proposed blaming separated families for what had happened to them. A damage-control working group developed fact sheets suggesting, without evidence, that most of the separated children were trafficking victims, according to two people who were present. At one meeting, one of these officials told me, “they were like, ‘Why don’t we just show these women throwing their children over the wall, and then people will think, How could they do this? ’ ”"

(Two things I would to see after reading this all center around witnessing Steven Miller and his cunt wife, Kate Waldman getting their asses physically beat on public access. Absolute fascists.)

Once the strike is over, Michael Sheen should hold a paid live stream Good Omens discussion to benefit the charity of his choice.

It would combine two of his favorite things: helping people and talking about/embarrassing David Tennant

#good omens #good omens 2 #crowley #david tennant #aziraphale #crowley x aziraphale #ineffable husbands #michael sheen #aziracrow #aziraphale x crowley #feed the feral good omens children #he's as normal about all this as we are #welsh seduction machine #saddle up sheenie #just let Michael out of his cage

i really wish it was possible to see any of the actually good things biden has done being discussed without the omnipresent circlejerking of you STUPID LEFITSTS are SO PICKY AND WANT POLITICIANS TO BE PERFECT and just IGNORE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST PROGRESSIVE PRESIDENTS WEVE EVER HAD. like id love it for light to be shined on actually positive things coming out of this administration (yay paid sick leave for rail workers) but i sure as hell am not going to spread anything that implies people are being unrealistic greedy children for not showing up with pom poms for a president whos administration is [check notes] pretty much exactly as bad on the treatment of immigrants as trump was.

#maybe if the 'most progressive president ever' is still locking children in cages during a plague thats actually a point to the leftists pov #erally makes you think huh

hello, I was curious about something and wanted to test it out. I would call this a light read and maybe a bit crack-ish? I’m not sure, but I had fun making this. I hope you enjoy it! (I want to say, english is hard, but writing is harder...)

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

You have trained alongside Raiden, Kung Lao, Johnny Cage and Kenshi Takahashi, as Lord Liu Kang’s chosen champions.

After the battle with Titan Shang Tsung, all of you separated, walking on different paths.

Then Lord Liu Kang summoned you and the others to Wu Shi Academy for a mission. There, you were given the choice to choose your team members.

[link to the actual fic]

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

(the part below has nothing to do with the fic. you can ignore it. it's just issues I had while making this.)

I've tested this on both mobile and pc and somehow the links don't work on mobile, but it's fine on pc? I can't even open the keep reading part of the fic on my app. I'm devastated... I probably can't even see this part myself.

So I had to change things up. A little bit. I'm scared of screwing it up further.

I am very sorry for the inconvenience...

#thank you for putting up with this mess #you can tell me if there are any tech issues with my posts #mortal kombat x reader #raiden x reader #kung lao x reader #johnny cage x reader #kenshi takahashi x reader #liu kang #liu kang being the tired father of the naughty children #by children I meant you and lao and johnny #foolie tries writing #and fails...#why is tumblr so hard to use???#any grammar and/or spelling mistakes are solely mine.

The Caesar comment got my brain buzzing, mostly because Caesar took over modern civilization at the time by marching his troops on his own city. He wanted drastic change. History views him as the hero only because he was a “successful” dictator. (Lots of military poweress = land, gold, slaves, plus he followed after two morally AWFUL dictators while having some semblance of morality himself. Plus a tragic untimely death.). Caesar could have so easily have been a villain, had he not been followed by a very very successful adoptive son who ADORED him and venerated his name. I think Homie understands the parallels between himself and Caesar, considering what a history buff he is.

Anyways I am now pondering if he’s gonna try to take over the world ala the comics. An army of Supes led by him. What a silly lil guy!

honestly, I could write an essay on the show directly comparing him to Caesar. the man was fully aware of the conspiracy to kill him, but outright refused to take ANY precautions. even rejected body guard/escorts. when you think about Homelander's birthday speech, the attitude really falls in line. if they're planning to continue the show without Homelander (boooooo), his death would absolutely martyr him to the supe army he's apparently raising. death is a flattering color on public figures. while I don't think the show is headed for full on apocalyptic war (they don't seem to have the budget for that lol) i do think the divide is going to grow more intense than just Starlighters vs Hometeamers. the crazy thing being that most humans don't even realize the supe revolution is afoot.

it's not a matter of politics anymore. hundreds ( if not thousands ) of children (who're adults now) have been abused, experimented on and exploited. we're headed for a major upheaval, and Homelander is the king at the center of it.

#the issue is so much more complicated than i feel like even the show is really acknowledging #like gen v did a pretty terrible job of convincing anyone that cate was wrong #all they did was say 'ooo she's bad bc violence!! violence is never the answer!!!!'#THEY HAD CHILDREN IN CAGES FORMULATING DEADLY ILLNESSES ON THEM #homelander #ask and you shall receive

what powers do you think a child of arke would have? would they be similar to iris kids?

OH BOY i have thought a LOT about this. Holding my dear beloved Arke kid oc Rain. Now is her time to shine.

For Arke kids, i imagine the most common power would be having wings of some kind, or something relating to wings - just given that based on the little written stuff we have on Arke, the most notable stuff about her (besides being Iris' twin) is her wings being taken. Also I think it's fun that her wings are specifically iridescent, versus Iris' more often being described as golden specifically. With my oc, she specifically has wing-shaped markings on her back from which she can summon real wings at-will (plus general other feathers just for the aesthetic).

Besides that, definitely just general stuff related to being a messenger goddess and rainbow goddess - I imagine Arke kids would probably have similar powers to Iris kids, but maybe more subdued in some areas or specifically focusing more on double rainbows and reflection/refraction, iridescence, etc - Since Arke's thing as Iris' twin is that she's specifically goddess of the second faded rainbow when there is a double rainbow. I just really love the idea though of like, you have your Iris kids with general color/rainbow stuff, but then Arke kids are more aligned with like the rainbow sheen of oil in puddles and stuff. Rainbows in places you don't really think about. Iridescence of bird wings and beetles type stuff. Re: colors, one trait I gave to my oc for that theme is that her hair changes color like a mood ring based on her emotions. By default it's just a rainbow gradient at the ends of her hair, but it'll color-shift to match how she's feeling/what she's thinking.

I also think there's a lot of potential for stuff along the lines of like. So Iris is specifically associated with the sky/clouds and water. Arke in turn you could associate more with the earth and underground, since she was cast into Tartarus (and you could totally play with how her wings were given to Thetis, who gave them to Achilles. Maybe Arke kids have beef with Thetis/Thetis kids as a result, or just generally don't do as well around water because of her.) or due to her siding with the Titans during the original Titanomachy. Maybe Kronos as Titan of the Harvest gave her some ground-based speed buffs idk. Fun to play with. Speed as a power is a definite possibility, since Achilles wearing Arke's wings on his feet were supposed to be why he was extra fast.

Also maybe not a power, per se, but they could definitely make a joke about Romans misunderstanding who their mother is - cause both Iris and Arke are twin messenger goddesses of the rainbow, but only Iris has a Roman equivalent, and her Roman equivalent is Arcus. "Who's your mom?" "Messenger goddess of rainbows, Arke." "Arcus?" "Arke" "Arcus?" "Arke-"

In general though: Messenger/speed, colors/rainbows, and wings are definitely the big themes. In part because she has so little text about her, it actually kind of makes for a lot of room to play with stuff and work out further themes for her which is super fun.

I also have a lot of general thoughts and headcanons about Arke/Arke Kids and the Second Titanomachy/Titan Army if you wanna hear about that 👀

#pjo #riordanverse #godly parents #pjo ocs #ask #Anonymous #arke pjo #PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT MY ARKE HEADCANONS I LOVE TALKING ABOUT THEM #Arke is such a fascinating mythological figure to me and she works so well in the riordanverse #me gnawing at the bars of my cage begging the fandom to make more children of Arke ocs

Sometimes I think about how if the children outside Halsin's cell weren't goblins — if they were human or elven or half-elven — the scene where you free him would be very different. It would make some list of the most messed up moments in the game. Just slaughter a small group of children with no option to relocate or protect them instead. But because they're goblins, who cares if they choke on their own blood, right?

#OOC / HOLLY.#holly plays games #honestly Serot is intent on protecting them during that fight #does he think it was right for them to throw rocks at a caged bear? no #does he think that means you should kill children who were exhibiting the behaviors their caretaker told them to perform? even bigger no #he doesn't think you should kill children at all but I hope that's a given #anyway he 1000% does all in his power to keep them from getting hurt in that fight #and 1000% lets them escape #if someone points out they'll probably rat them out and raise an alarm #he's like we better work quickly then #[which goes surprisingly well until he beefs with Ragzlin and they have to wipe the place but sdfhj]
