This could be an assumption on my part, but I feel like there’s a lot of confusion around what is actually happening at detention centers, where they come from, what they’re for, etc. I was unclear, so I assume a lot of people are unclear, but we all have the same basic opinion — it’s wrong to keep people (esp. children) in cages. So, I wanted to make a quick breakdown so we all know what happens to kids who come to the border alone, kids who come with their parents, and the differences between those situations under Obama and now under Trump.

I’m moving into your neighborhood.
The only difference between the illegal immigration that founded the United States and the illegal immigration those descendants are fighting so hard against is intent. White people illegally immigrated here to claim, displace, and take over. Immigrants, illegal or otherwise, are not coming over in massive numbers to displace Americans and take over the country, regardless of how many times Republican talking heads want us to believe that.

Donald Trump wouldn’t qualify to be an immigrant.
Let’s see. Trump has about five bankruptcies under his belt, can barely form a coherent sentence, and has no marketable skills that I can see other than being white and promising White America that he will whitely allow them to white even more effectively in the white future. Add to that the fact that he could never pass a citizenship test because he has no idea of how the government works or the history of this country, and I’m pretty sure Donald Trump’s Administration would stop Donald Trump at the door if he was trying to come from another country.

My life as a volunteer.
All around the city you see people every day who don’t have that, so I wanted to put it all back into perspective for my own sense of wholeness and to remind myself that I did have a lot to be thankful for regardless of my struggle. So I went to volunteer at a homeless shelter.

Happy Mother’s Day y’all.
My momma was gossip queen first and foremost and I was her favorite Chatty Cathy so she knew I would spill if I had any tea. Unfortunately I didn’t, but now y'all know where I get that from. My momma.

My back hurts because I thought I was a porn star.
So we’re going on about day 9 of this pain in my lower back because last weekend I decided to go out and feel every oat I do not possess and I am too old for that type of foolishness.

The angriest white man I know went all Softer Side of Sears and BAKED BANANA BREAD today and it is delicious and moist and I’m super impressed with its tastiness considering this is the kind of gym bro that doesn’t even season chicken breasts, bless his heart.

President Velveeta’s only political position is Bully.
So we’re a week into Trump’s reign of terror and the common theme to me isn’t Republican or Conservative so much as it’s Piss Off As Many People As Possible. I think the running theme throughout Trump’s life has made itself the de facto position of his Presidency: Be A Dick.

White descendant of immigrants is concerned about unvetted Puerto Ricans “immigrating” here.
Donald Trump never had a problem with immigration. His wife was an immigrant who worked here illegally. His modeling company was full of Eastern European waifs who were here illegally. He hires Polish immigrants to build his properties. Donald Trump has a problem with brown people and so do the rest of his supporters, like this asshat calling in to CSPAN to voice his concern about immigration from Puerto Rico…which is part of the United States.

Humming Whitney while I ramble about my sister.
I didn’t write a blog about it because I was in too much shock, but my older sister (and only sibling) passed away a little over a week ago.
