[A] DHS official also confirmed to NBC that, from July 2017 to October 2017, the Trump administration ran what the official called a “pilot program” for zero tolerance in El Paso.
Court records and interviews with migrants show that during that period federal prosecutors began to criminally charge any adult who crossed the border unlawfully in the El Paso sector, which spans from New Mexico to West Texas. Parents arriving with young children were not exempt.
“This was happening in El Paso before it was news,” said Linda Rivas, executive director of Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center. “People didn’t believe it…”
Even those families who crossed the border hoping for asylum were caught up in the El Paso experiment. A mother named Jocelyn, whom Rivas represents, was apprehended crossing with her son last August near El Paso. Although Jocelyn said she sought asylum, she was prosecuted for illegal entry, court documents show. Her son was taken from her
“An Indianapolis church protested President Donald Trump’s child separation policy by “detaining” statues of baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph in a chain-linked, enclosed cage on their lawn.
“The statement with the Holy Family says as much about our policy as any statement would say,” the Rev. Canon Lee Curtis of Christ Church Cathedral, who came up with the idea, told NBC News. “We want an end for family detention. Families, all families, every family, is holy, and we hope and pray that families who are seeking out a better life for their kids are afforded that opportunity.”
“I know what the Bible said,” Carlsen told the Indy Star. “We’re supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves.”
“In retrospect, there were some unhealthy things that drove me to have sex, often violent and risky, with several dozen people and post all about it on the public Internet.
Also in retrospect, this turned out to be a really good plan that vastly improved my life.“
So I stumbled onto the Etsy shop of this academic who–in real life–is an expert on cuneiform–and on the side, makes little trinkets with Sumerian on them and OH MAN THIS SHOP HAS MADE MY ENTIRE WEEK
Sumerian erotic poetry? Got it. Sumerian drinking songs? Yep. A little something for everyone on your Akitu gift list.
Guys, if you’re interested in acquiring your own cuneiform tablets, I highly recommend that you check out this shop. It’s a great way of getting accurate replicas while both supporting an academic’s work, and, most importantly, avoiding the trade of real, often illegally acquired artefacts. You get your tablet that says “beer is good, travel is bad”, and the real tablets stay in museums where they belong – it’s a win-win situation.
(Little reminder that if you’re near Geneva, Switzerland on 27-28th April, you can make your very own cuneiform tablets, hieroglyphic papyri and much more at our ancient festival!)
y’all keep doing this and idk why, journalists not allowed to put names in headlines unless it’s a well-known person hence why they use the age cuz it draws ppl in but y’all would know that if y’all googled anything
thank you. it’s literally a rule they have to follow.
Note also how OP did not put a link to the article, which PROBABLY says the kid’s name fairly early on. Just not in the *headline* because journalistic guidelines say don’t name people in headlines unless the name is recognizable. The point being, if it said “Steven Udotong builds nuclear fusor” everyone would be like “who did what now”, but if they say he’s 16 in the headline everyone’s like “holy shit a teenage kid built a nuclear fusor that’s badass” and then they read the article to find out more details. Including the person’s name.
Headlines say shit like “Local Woman” or “Florida Man” or “16-year-old” because they’re trying to give information that an average person will find relevant at a glance, and the average person doesn’t find unfamiliar names relevant at a glance.
Wasn’t OP one of the russian psyop blogs? THAT name does look familiar…
