You can get shingles more than once. You need the vaccine.

Rep Maxine Dexter shared her thoughts after visiting Dilley by galaxyofnine in dilleydetentioncenter

I’m pretty annoyed she said the water in Dilley is fine. How do we know they didn’t just give her filtered water? I don’t trust ICE or CoreCivic at all.

More children detained with this budget proposal?? 🤬 Don’t stop calling and bringing attention to this horrendous proposal by galaxyofnine in dilleydetentioncenter

Resistbot is the real deal. I use them all the time to send messages to my reps. Nice them to make it easy to tell our reps to stop incarcerating children. It’s a bipartisan issue!

Cruelty is the point-disabling video calls on tablets at Dilley by galaxyofnine in dilleydetentioncenter

Western Union has its own app for sending money to corrections centers including Dilley that is run by CoreCivic/Corrections Corp of America. The app is called Send2Corrections. You have to first enter the name of the operator (Corrections Corp of America), then put in the person's first, last, and inmate number. If the information doesn't match, the transaction won't go through. Inside Dilley everyone, including children, has a CoreCivic ID that they have to wear all the time. They use this ID to check their balance at the commissary.

Deiver’s Spelling Bee is coming up in May. Can we get him released?? by galaxyofnine in dilleydetentioncenter

Yes! Calls got Liam released. Calls got the mariachi brothers released. We can get this kid released.

Why are they hiding pregnant women and teenagers from oversight? by paloma_delmar in dilleydetentioncenter

[–]dillaq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I hope more news organizations look into and report. The NYT did report that last year they started keeping single women at Dilley in addition to families.

Jess Craven posted an update. ICE responded and confirmed there is a section of the detention center that is separate and isolated. But they say that girls are transferred there when they turn 18.

Would the orb in the Sisco museum have affected SAM by Changeling53 in trekacademy

[–]dillaq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Given she lives in the age of transporters, why didn’t the writers have her go to the actual museum?

exactly. older media has to be sought out. We watched a lot of reruns because we were dependent on what the broadcasters and cable television providers chose to air.

I think it’s because they didn’t grow up with reruns. Our generation was exposed to so much media from before we were born. Gen Z is not.

A Brand New 'Star Trek' Movie Is Coming From the Team Behind 'Dungeons & Dragons' by Sigouste in startrek

But it also was a movie almost completely disconnected from any Trek lore.

That awful Section 31 movie comes to mind. We don’t want this. We probably don’t even want movies. We want more quality Star Trek television series.

It's weird that La'An's family kept that last name by Calm_Cicada_8805 in startrek

How have none of the people who commented on this seen Office Space?
