UPenn faculty condemn Trump administration’s demand for ‘lists of Jews’

Groups say EEOC demand for names and personal details echoes dark history and threatens safety and civil rights

The Guardian

What the actual fuck? ICE has been holding three members of the Oglala Sioux tribe in detention since Friday. Tribal members are US citizens by statute.

Homeland Security is refusing to release any information on these tribal members, other than first names, until the tribe enters into an "immigration agreement" with ICE. Again, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

I re-watched Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" last night, and there's a scene that plays out in the parking lot of a large shopping mall, where a woman (Bridget Fonda) is needling a man (Robert de Niro), mocking him because he can't find his car, so he turns around, shoots her twice point blank, and as he is walking away says "Fucking bitch".
The film is from 1997, nearly 30 years ago.

  
Bonjour madame 🐭 @Neko0001 et 👸 A.

aucune route
ni le moindre chemin
pas de courant d'air ni marin
pas de vent dominant
ni de souffle divin

juste un battement d’ailes
l'effort de nos cœurs lourds
pour s'élever dans la nuit
