@georgetakei The tie to immigration “replacement” is BS. They want child labor whether or not immigrants stay. The same kids working & being armed & being tried as adults can’t read a Nobel Laureate’s banned books or have sex ed because they need “protection”. Plus, immigrant children are already working instead of being in school. This gives them even fewer protections. It is all bullshit. #crueltyisthepoint

@fluffykittycat @markigra Exactly! Women are good for breeding & household services in their world. But like w/ children, they don't want to spend a dime to support women. As someone who chose to forfeit the continuation of a career to raise children, handle our finances, maintain a household, and start a small home-based business, my SS is minimal. It will hurt if they change the rules to disallow me from getting hubby's SS shld he die. I'm bracing for the worst. #crueltyisthepoint

This is such horrific sadistic bigotry. Trump is doing all he can to eradicate “the other.” #CrueltyIsThePoint

Got the message below in email today from the International Writing Program (IWP) at the University of Iowa, where I've previously enjoyed some fun MOOC courses, including a great one about writing poetry. But they obviously do a lot of good work beyond that, and so this is just very sad to see. But we should not avert our eyes to the specific effects of the ongoing savaging of the US government and its effects not only on domestic education but international relations. No good can come of this.

«Dear Friends,

We write today with a difficult update. On Wednesday, Feb. 26, the International Writing Program (IWP) learned that its grants with the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, were being terminated. This notification explained that the IWP’s awards “no longer effectuate agency priorities,” nor align “with agency priorities and national interest.” The immediate result was the cancellation of Between the Lines (the IWP’s summer youth program), and the dissolution of Lines and Spaces Exchanges, Distance Learning courses, and Emerging Voices programs. The overall Fall Residency cohort will be reduced by around half due to the loss of federally funded participants; the IWP’s other long-time funding partners, including a combination of donors, grants, foreign ministries of culture, and NGOs, will continue to support writers.»

That’s some “promise” #CrueltyIsThePoint #Trump

Reporter: Migrants who were in Guantanamo Bay say they were shackled and placed in cages and say they were not treated as human beings. Any response to those conditions?

Leavitt: It’s a promise the President campaigned on
