    Why are we treating asylum seekers like criminals?

    They only arrested the fathers. Were the mother and child not criminals for doing the exact same thing?

    This is cruelty for its own sake. Texas isn’t supposed to be enforcing immigration law.

    Your made up narrative is very entertaining, but you have no idea what their intentions are and the asylum law makes no distinction.

    And again, it’s not up to Texas to enforce immigration law.

    And again, why only arrest the father?

    Blamemeta ,

    Its two seperate actions, applying for asylum and illegally immigrating. If they were honest people, they would have gone to an embassy or official border crossing, and applied. Instead they illegally immigrated and only after they got caught did they apply for asylum.

    Also crimes can be handled at multiple levels.

    Your assumptions are irrelevant.

    The law makes no distinction.

    Also, why would they only arrest the father if they all broke the law?

    Also, why is Texas enforcing immigration law when it’s outside of their pervue? They handed the mothers and children over to CBP, so they know the proper procedure; why should they be selectively enforcing the law here?

    Barr is complicit in Trumps crimes. We should not be giving a voice to anything he has to say. He needs to be in jail, along with every single Trump appointee.

    The way to prosecute someone in a criminal conspiracy is to get their cronies to flip on them.

    Barr is right that Trump lost.

    I_am_10_squirrels , to Politics in News: Barr obliterates Trump's defense: 'He knew well that he had lost the election'

    But will he testify to that? Saying it on CNN is fine, but I need people to say it under oath and cross examination.

    What they said ^^^

    azimir , to Politics in Live updates: The latest news on Trump and the Fulton County, Georgia, election case

    Odds are the accelerated schedule is due to the likely target of the charges aggressively threatening the witness list. Only so many people involved in the prosecution, the judge & jury, and every known witness can have elevated security measures.

    As the threats broaden, eventually it’s not economical to put security on everyone. Instead, maybe (hear me out) we should put the threat itself into some kind of secure facility so the public writ large is protected? I know it’s a crazy idea, but maybe the courts will actually do something about it at some point or another.

    The "suburban dream" looks to be dying out for capitalism reasons (not to mention the exaustion of land a commutable distance by car from cities) and the yard is becoming inceasingly vestigial. Soon they'll reinvent townhomes

    So glad I got 2.5% on my 30 year fixed a couple of years ago when I refi'd.

    I NEVER thought I would see a rate that low. I am still amazed at it.

    init ,

    Purchased a house at about the same interest rate weeks before the rates went up. I am also still amazed at the timing and where we are.

    sugar_in_your_tea ,

    I unfortunately wasn’t able to refinance, but I’m still significantly below 4%. I don’t think I could afford to buy my own house today with current rates and house values because my mortgage would more than double.

    0110010001100010 ,

    2.75 on a 20 year when I refinanced in...2020 I think. You can bet your ass I have zero plans to sell. I would like some more land but not right now.

    some_guy , to Men's Liberation in Where barbershops are a community hub, he's filling them with books to help young boys find excitement in reading

    At a time when books are being removed from libraries, this man is trying to encourage literacy. Give him accolades.

    And a grant.

    Phoenixbouncing , to Men's Liberation in Where barbershops are a community hub, he's filling them with books to help young boys find excitement in reading

    I feel this touches on two really important points. Firstly the need for a community hub where men and boys can meet and grow, and where we can help men who are feeling lost find places where they can exchange and realise they aren’t alone.

    Secondly, brining books allows a broadening of experiences beyond just the people present and a nice counter balance to social media.

    It's okay, the GOP hates you and anyone not-GOP and any Republican not absolutely loyal to the insurrectionists and stop-the-steal liars.

    HandsHurtLoL , to Politics in [News] House Judiciary Committee expected to launch inquiry into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis

    I bet they're going to subpoena her for a hearing the day-of or after the start of the Fulton trial just to delay the trial for Trump and then maybe he can cry unfair that his constitutional right to a speedy trial was violated.

    Why do they still carry water for this goon?

    Nougat , to Politics in [News] House Judiciary Committee expected to launch inquiry into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis

    The committee is expected to ask Willis whether she was coordinating with the Justice Department, ...

    And they're going to try and color a totally normal thing to do as somehow nefarious.
