Lawyers and family members report that they have been unable to locate the inmates at the infamous Florida prison after they disappeared fro
Hundreds of people detained at the Alligator Alcatraz immigration processing center west of Miami, Florida, appear to have vanished. They have disappeared from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) online database, and their lawyers and families have been unable to locate them, according to immigrant advocacy groups.
“When searching for people detained there, the ICE locator now says, ‘Call the Florida Department of Corrections for details,’” says Luis Sorto of Sanctuary of the South, a network that offers legal services and participated in a lawsuit against the government over restrictions on access to lawyers for detainees at the infamous immigration jail.
All of the plaintiffs who were being held at the center were transferred to another location after a new lawsuit was filed in August challenging Florida’s authority to detain people there, Sorto added. That lawsuit also noted that the detainees did not appear in ICE’s tracking system.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which filed the lawsuit, described Alligator Alcatraz as a “black hole,” noting that some people were “missing,” effectively “off the radar” of the immigration system, and “their lawyers and families often don’t know where they are or how to contact them.”
all my advice about using real athletes to learn drawing bodies beyond hard abs, and my particular pref being wrestlers, also applies to women btw. you can draw women who r strong and not an hourglass shape. fucking do it.
kris statlander, rhea ripley (look at her SHAPE), willow nightingale, ruby soho, these r just four off the top of my head that have obvious musculature and different body types. skye blue and julia hart have more slim cheerleader style bodies as well, i REALLY wanted to put emi sakura who is fucking STOUT (adoring) in this post but i couldn't find a good demonstrative pic, the list goes on
This adorable 1926 Alice in Wonderland-themed cottage in Indianapolis, IN is an Airbnb for sale, fully furnished. I would live in it myself, I love it so much. 1bd, 1ba, 950sqft, $235k.
The living room is so pretty.
Very creative.
Next is the wonderful dining room. Look at the tea things hanging from the ceiling, and the white rabbit's watches on the walls.
This is magical.
The galley style kitchen is adorable. Roses on the ceiling and playing cards make a wall border.
Clouds and keys dangling from the ceiling. This cute little nook looks like it may have been a hall closet.
In the hall leading to the bedroom and bath, the walls are covered in greenery.
It represents the hedge maze in the story. The sign on the bedroom door says "Tugly Wood," the surreal forest.
Open door and enter the woods.
The bath is nicely redone.
They've got white silk flower petals on the walls.
Delightful path to the backyard alongside the house. How do these things stay in such good condition in Indy winters?
They did a great job on the garden.
It's beautiful.
I love the ceiling of the pavilion looking like Alice coming down the rabbit hole. And, this gold footbridge is lovely.
UK: Women’s Institute groups close down after the organization barred transgender women
The Guardian reports that several Women’s Institute (WI) groups across the UK are shutting down following the national organisation’s decision to ban transgender women.
The policy change, introduced by the National Federation of Women’s Institutes (NFWI), has triggered what local leaders describe as “carnage,” with resignations, community backlash, and the loss of meeting venues.
Some halls and churches have refused to host WI groups that enforce the exclusionary rule, leaving branches unable to operate.
Many volunteers have stepped down in protest, arguing that the policy was imposed without meaningful consultation and has fractured previously harmonious local groups.
From the article:
Emma Hawley, chair of Social Lites WI in Urmston, Greater Manchester – a group with nearly 140 members that has run for 13 years – said her entire committee has decided to step down.
“None of the other members want to take our places – many immediately said they weren’t even going to renew their membership,” she said.
“We’re all heartbroken. I’ve put 13 years into running this amazing group but I can’t, ethically or morally, be a member of something that excludes transgender women,” she said.
This proves what many have said: The transphobic "gender critical" TERFs are not representative of British women.
