Court upholds ruling that children held at border must have adequate food, bedding, sanitation

Children detained at border must have adequate food, bedding, soap and toothbrushes, court rules

“The government appealed, arguing that the order changed the settlement agreement. The original settlement said nothing about allowing children to sleep or wash themselves with soap, the federal government said....

“During the hearing, 9th Circuit Judge A. Wallace Tashima, a Clinton appointee, appeared incredulous that a lawyer for the federal government would not quickly concede that having soap and toothbrushes was a necessary requirement for sanitary conditions.“ [emphasis added]

First they came for the children. Now they’re talking about incarcerating anyone with mental illness.

Like, if you don’t believe in abortion, don’t get an abortion.

Also, don’t pay for your mistresses to get one, either, hypocrites.

Also, stop fighting access to free birth control.

Also, stop stripping money from funds for poor single mothers who chose not to get an abortion (since you didn’t want her to), OR, ya know, stop knocking up women and leaving your child behind.

Also, believe women and do something about sexual assault rates (and stop yelling at Gillette who actually IS attempting to do something).

Also, open the discussion about gun control if you’re so concerned about life, you weirdos.

Also, just get the fuck over yourselves.

MEANWHILE, ON TWITTER: Imagine being a) this pissy about wheelchair users (and other blue badge holders) getting parking spaces and b) actually stopping to take a fucking picture and c) tweeting it, without immediately giving yourself a good fucking shake.

The only way I will stop being depressed and anxious at this point is if the world stop swinging rightwing and bigoted. Y'all need to go back to kindergarten and learn to share with everyone, to recognize that other people are allowed to do their own things if they aren't hurting you, to keep your hands to yourself if the other person doesn't like it, to leave stuff and places nicer than you found them, and to say please and thank you.
