On this first hot day in the PNW I would like to remind everyone here that if we do not prepare to stop it, there will be a climate genocide. Everyone who cannot afford to escape the parts of Earth that are becoming uninhabitable is at risk, and we in this relatively stable zone have a lot more in common with the climate refugees of the future than we do with those who would build walls and keep them out. #ImmigrantsWelcome

Lucian K. Truscott reminds us that immigrants, who are typically spoken of in maintream media reports as numbers and in right-wing attacks "illegals" or "aliens" but never as people, "are human beings and they are us."
Period.

if you've ever thought, 'i'd like to live in [place that isn't currently where you were born]', you should stfu about immigrants being the root of all the problems in [where you currently live].

Another key finding of the PRRI report: Majorities of Republicans (55%) and white evangelical Protestants (51%) believe that immigrants are invading the United States; a majority of Americans who most trust conservative media outlets (70%) also believe in this replacement theory.

Additionally, three in ten Americans (30%) completely or mostly agree with the statement “immigrants are invading our country and replacing our cultural and ethnic background,” while nearly two-thirds (64%) completely or mostly disagree.

PRRI has just published research findings on whether Americans think immigrants are a threat — and which specific groups hold that view. Some key findings:
"Most Republicans (69%) and at least half of white Christian groups, including 65% of white evangelical Protestants, 53% of white mainline Protestants, and 50% of white Catholics think immigrants threaten traditional American customs and values."

Steven Matthew Driscoll made it his business to pull a gun and harass migrants gathered at Sacred Heart Catholic church on New Year's eve in El Paso.
Law enforcement officials then made it their business to see that Driscoll ended up in jail on multiple charges including a federal one.
She and her mother fled Czarist Russia in fear of their lives. Lash concludes,
"All those women at the southern border, babies in tow, are our grandmothers, always. Yesterday or a century past, it makes no difference. Open our eyes, never turn our backs."

Teresa Hanafin invited her Boston Globe readers to submit short essays about immigration. All are wonderful, but I recommend David Lash's essay, which says he met a young woman at the US/Mexico border fleeing death at the hands of the military who kidnapped her son, and knows of another woman whose sister was raped by soldiers, brother kidnapped, her village burned to the ground.
The second woman was his grandmother.

"That single flight cost the state a whopping $615,000, or around $12,500 per person. Vertol received a second payment of $950,000 just two weeks later."
Then when DeSantis was forced by a lawsuit to release information about its Vertol wheelings and dealings, and did so right at Chrstmas time, this emerged:
"It turned out, probably to no one’s surprise, that Vertol Systems has connections to the DeSantis administration."

Jay Kuo writes,
"Something about the migrant 'relocation' flight to Martha’s Vineyard, orchestrated by the DeSantis administration this past summer, has always bothered me, even beyond the inhumanity of it all: the price tag.
The charter flight company that actually flew the migrants, Vertol Systems, received a contract worth over $1.5 million from the state of Florida."

It's the job of Bishop Seitz in El Paso to make those statements on behalf of the #USCCB. Here's a link to Bishop Seitz's statement for Our Lady of Guadalupe

Jay Kuo puts his finger on what Title 42 is all about:
"The labeling of migrants as carriers of diseases, and the use of Title 42 to expel them, was a continuation of Trump’s generally hostile immigration policies, which included performative nonsense like his border wall and his frequent anti-immigrant rhetoric about murderers, drug dealers, and rapists. It used the pretext of the pandemic to effectively close the border to asylum seekers."

"And none of this will cost Abbott a single vote. A good number of our fellow citizens, in their politics, have become monsters."

Charles Pierce writes,
"Abbott needs the ruination of the climate for its production value when he stages a pageant like the one he presented to D.C. on Christmas Eve. And were I a Texas resident, I'd wonder whether or not Abbott might not find better uses of his time—like, say, not depending as much on luck as far as his state's antiquated power grid goes."
