#Family #detention is being resurrected by Trump.

Families have begun to arrive in recent days at a detention facility in South Texas,
and immigration lawyers are expecting more to be brought in the coming days.
A second detention center, also in South Texas, is being readied for families.
Each of the facilities is being set up to hold thousands of people.

At one site, lawyers say, multiple families are being detained in rooms with four to eight bunk beds and shared bathroom facilities.

With the border now quiet and illegal crossings notably low, immigration enforcement has shifted to the interior of the country.

That has led to arrests of people with established ties to communities,
who had been working or going to school before their families were taken into federal custody.

And some of them are bound for the newly reopened detention center in
#Karnes, Texas,
and the soon-to-be-reopened detention center in
#Dilley, Texas,
-- both south of San Antonio.

A facility in Dilley, Texas, shown in 2019, is one of two sites where U.S. immigration authorities will be detaining undocumented immigrant families.

Mark Wyner Won’t Comply :vm:

This is wildly surprising. And perhaps offers a tiny sliver of hope?

One of the bills opposed would have required “emergency” removal of transgender children from their parents.

On the floor, Representatives SJ Howell and Zooey Zephyr persuaded Republicans with their speeches. Bravo! 👏🏻

Thanks for the piece, @ErinInTheMorn.

A reflection on a cold late winter night.
When I look at my mother these days, I see the smile that once belonged to my grandmother, because my mother is now the same age my grandmother was when I was a child. I also see my grandfather's expressions and walk.
When I look at my father, I see my grandfather's chin and neck, but my grandmother's expression and posture.

When I look in the mirror, I see a bit of all of them, and although time passes, marking my face, graying my beard and hair, and aging my skin, I know it will make me look more and more like them. And this makes the inevitable passage of time feel a little sweeter.

nightdream

so my sister, who was raised by our alcoholic father – I was not – has climbed out of a long period of self-destructive behavior and gotten healthy. She is dealing with her trauma and actively pursuing a dream. Today she reached out to me asking to talk about some very difficult things in our past that have gotten the way of us ever developing the kind of relationship we both wanted. We ended up, over the course of a couple of hours of texting and talking, confessing and apologizing and understanding and forgiving. I feel so much lighter. I feel a surge of creative energy. The flow has already begun.

I don't know the origin of this, but it was helpful when looking after 6 and 8 year old grandchildren all weekend. "Grandma is tired so her patient voice is nearly gone," said I. "Grumpa's going to watch you while I take a nap."
Right as rain afterwards! 1/2

RationizedInsanity

I've thought long and hard about this.

I built a #socialmedia presence to protect myself.

To seek #justice and speak out about what my father did to our #family and #poverty.

He #abused a woman with #tourettes into insanity, abused me into insanity and we were never the same.

Kidnapped me. Drove me to #idaho after I busted my hip and was staying with him in #seattle and was delusional, couldn't consent.

MEN, IT’S WAY PAST TIME FOR US TO STEP & BE THE BETTER MEN WE CAN BE
“.. I think since many guys in past generations were not raised to be emotionally intelligent and respectful, when they have sons they just continue the toxic cycle, and it shows. However, I think the guys in my generation still have hope because the majority of them, outside of relationships, are actually pretty good people."”
