Separating those children from their parents sure put an end to..... what? Not a goddamn thing. Cruelty has never solved a problem.

Inflicting additional pain and suffering on defenseless people is just too much fun to pass up!!

Well, it makes the cruel people feel big and strong, and isn't that the most important thing?

I suppose it was intended to send a message to other asylum seekers but who knows? It was probably something Stephen Miller farted out one night.

Snort. I literally refused to buy pants, skirts or dresses without pockets. On any work day I have two phones, two sets of car keys, clients files.... a billion fucking things. I carry a huge bag, but I need to be able to find the keys and phones.

Fucks clothes without pockets.

But if we are to deter illegal immigration, we have to make America at least as horrifying as the country they are fleeing. That policy, separating terrified children from their helpless parents, was possibly the cruelest of the Trump regime’s evil policies. On top of that, they didn’t build care centers to provide basic childcare needs. We all saw the photos and video of chain link pens with scared children often sitting alone, without clean clothing, diapers, blankets, beds, toys or comforting stuffed animals. The people who created and implemented that policy have no souls. The overwhelming number of immigrants seeking asylum or legal pathways to citizenship is a well-known crisis, and the answers aren’t simple. But intentionally tapping into the unimaginable fear of children and parents being separated, by bureaucrats in a foreign land, to deter illegal migration is Nazi-level evil.

Those people are fleeing their countries in large part because of what our country does down there. America has an insatiable drug habit, and those who supply the drugs create a hellscape in South America.

Prince Albert is working his way through the King Arthur Flour Baking School book and today he revisited one of Chapter One’s family favourites, simits, which are these bagel adjacent not-bagels covered in sesame seeds and dipped in molasses water before baking. Turkish. Holy crap, so freaking good! He did make bagels later that chapter and we were like β€œEh, simits were better.”

I have their "Baker's Companion" book, and have been thinking of getting the Baking School book.

I have that one too, it’s why Prince Albert didn’t hesitate on buying this one. Go for it! The worst we’ve had is recipes that might have a flavour we don’t like. They’ve all WORKED, which is massive to me. Like sometimes I buy a cookbook and it’s like β€œ I know enough baking that this won’t work” but this one, they all work.

From the Companion book - the Vermont Oatmeal Maple-Honey Bread is my weekly standard. I juggle the flours a bit (this week’s version has Irish whole meal flour, rye flour, and chickpea flour in addition to the white and whole wheat flours).

.@POTUS stopped by Norman Lear’s L.A. home to sit shiva with his family.

After a Jew dies, it is customary for their family & friends to sit together during the mourning period, tell stories & reflect.

Usually, guests bring food. I wonder what @JoeBiden brought?

I just watched the TV special on him. I didn't know that he founded People for the American Way. Also that he bought one of the original copies of the Declaration of Independence to share with everyone.

I always loved the guy, now even more.

I could get snarky, something about Hunter and a part of his body that Republicans seem to be too interested in, but I would say that if Joe brought food, it would be something like potato pancakes.

This is not my usual fair but what the hell expand my choices. They show it either dubbed or with subtitles. We're going with the subtitles to get the better screen.

Fuck. I need to feed myself. I've been asleep for more than twelve hours. Nothing is appetizing. Reading news after getting up is fraught. I'll have Li'l Feller claw my ass and improve my attitude.

I felt wretched in the night. It turns out that eating broccoli and then going right to bed was not the most clever of choices. Then up at 8 for the class. Took care of cats and fire, back to bed, slept away the sunshine, which I regret.

I'm thinking it's a good night for chicken soup. I have bird, carrots, celery, onion, red pepper, broccoli (in moderation), and stock makings. What did you decide on?
