This year ~50K Afghans applied for humanitarian parole at $575 per application—fewer than 300 Afghans have been approved.
And ~50K Ukrainians applied for humanitarian parole at $0 per application—nearly every single one was approved.
Pres Biden must fix this horrific injustice.
@rgay Immediately thought of you when that was revealed last night, and of course you are nothing but gracious. I heard your well-crafted snark in my head, though, so you get credit.
@ErinHBarker@RISKshow I have to know...have you reached out to Steven Page to let him know that early interaction planted the seed of your revised understanding of faith? And that BNL has never been the same since he left?
@ChuckWendig The trifecta order of a spicy goat birria taco, a baja-riff fried fish taco with squid ink aoli (don't hate the hipster!) and a housemade chorizo and egg breakfast taco from @TacoBamba.
@jameelajamil @megsmith_1 In some jurisdictions, discrimination based on weight is, in fact, illegal by local statute...San Francisco is one, off the top of my head. But yeah, weight is not universally a protected class.
@peqs @ejskukak @tommyjo32697714@baffledBITS@jonnysun At least 50% of the appeal of asparagus is the heavy duty elastic band. I try to east enough asparagus in the spring to meet my rubber band needs for the year.
@thredUP_support Hey, the boots I just received are clearly marked as Size 7.5, rather than the size 12 stated in the listing. Can I return them without paying a restocking fee?
@daydreamer3@tisharowemd@AmericanAir My friend has two teenager daughters of different builds but the same size in clothing. The curvy one received a dress code violation one day. My friend asked lanky daughter wear to the same outfit later. She interacted with the same guy who coded her sister, but no violation.
@maria_delrusso@AkilahObviously We share key values. This. (This morning was fennel green bean salad with goat cheese and walnuts and a few slices of cold grilled lamb)
@pompeysam123 @ThatEricAlper I was watch the MTV awards sometime in the mid 90s and the Fugees were performing and Roberta Flack came out for the final verse and it was like “Oh. Oh yeah. That’s the song.” All love to the Fugees but this one goes to Ms. Flack.
