  • I was just reading an article saying it’s terrible we’re deporting a ton of kids who never speak to a lawyer. Then it said the proportion had gone up, and cited the old pre-fascism figure. The smaller number was also appalling!

    So, clearly sickening all around.

    Anybody know what the proper path forward would be? Say the proper interim path. If giving the best representation to all kids means thankfully more get to stay, might it change the calculus of parents put in impossible situations and lead them to strategically abandon their children here hoping they’ll get a better life? And maybe it’s an entirely rational decision at least at first—but eventually even more kids might slip through the cracks. And as costs for anything balloon, negative attention does too. Negative attention sucks oxygen even when you’re willing to fight.

    And public defendants already have like negative time to spend with their clients, we desperately need more.

    Fucking sucks

    This is an unusual comment I’m gonna make, unusual for me b/c I get phased by violent content and not dark humor

    Comic made me a little uncomfortable maybe because it’s actually showing implied child abuse. If it’s just alluded to then it’s just your imagination and you don’t imagine it well enough way it’s painful, but they show it & it’s like “bro that guy’s a child rapist holy shit wtf”

    Plus the lowest possible defense, 4chan-esque “akshually ephebophilia” “but in Japan…”, don’t even fly for Sherlock

    Edit: also there’s no greater point as you’ve mentioned, like if he wore a Jared Subway mask… potential big change in vibe
