@TheJFreakinC They want the parents to show up to claim their child so they can detain the parents. The kid likely was born here and is a citizen but not Mom and Dad. This is a horrible situation to be in as a parent.
A truth from my father: “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” This is what we’re witnessing as people pretend like they don’t know or are determined to be sincerely ignorant about the historical and current devastating impact of chattel slavery. It is offensive, horrific, cruel, and anti-Black racism to downplay and try to erase the evil intent, treatment, and outcomes, then and now.

@LauraRbnsn Who is responsible for the medical costs and copays this family will be burdened with for not only the mother but possibly for the baby for the rest of the baby’s life!
@GeauxSeeTheLady Is the State going to pay her medical bills too? I know the mother would not want her husband and child to go into forced medical debt.
This is anti-D.E.I. rhetoric is getting ridiculous. The military is now going to stop attending and recruiting at minority engineering events of qualified engineers just because they are black! https://t.co/KNBSxqU5M5
Wow! So now we a resorting to handing out thank you contracts to everyone that bought the Trump election. Unbelievable. https://t.co/h5pxkhZOIf via @NYTimes
@RpsAgainstTrump I beg Fox News viewers to really research what DEI actually is and not get their information from Fox. What the heck does it have to do with Air Traffic Controllers? Is he going to retract his statement if it just turns out to be human pilot error that was and tragic accident?
@Dolphins_Pain@reesetheone1 If you are talking about his most recent comments during this election cycle, he was just a regular citizen, not the President. He can say what he wants then.
It’s a long answer but the saying is “if you’ve always had privilege then equality feels like oppression”
It goes deeper than that though; there’s been a systematic drive by the Republican Party in bed with large corporations and the wealthy to consolidate wealth at the top and degrade the middle class that was created post WW2 by the new deal. Trickle down economics, tax cuts for the wealthy, union busting, deregulation, etc
But they can’t just do that and expect people to be okay with it, so an entire misinformation ecosystem has been created to convince (mostly uneducated) white men that the reason for their economic angst isn’t because of the wealthy picking their pocket, it’s because they’re being disadvantaged by having to compete against brown people, women, immigrants, gay people, transgender, etc. That there’s a war on men, that democrats are coming to take their guns and bibles. Racist “white replacement theory” antisemitic “globalist” theory etc
Any culture war they can create to make white men angry and fearful of “others” to cover for the fact that their preferred oligarchs and their bought and paid for Republican politicians who are supposed to be “protecting them” are the very ones who created the conditions that fucked up their lives
