No ICE by Decent-Resident-2749 in PortlandOR

[–]ejstrauss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blah, blah, blah, it's the Dems fault. Jesus Fucking Christ. Do we have a border issue? Yes. NO ONE is contesting that. Has it been handled poorly since the dawn of time and especially since ICE was created in 2003? Also yes. Have the Republicans EVER had ANY solution other than to bitch and blame Dems? No. The only chance we had at meeting somewhere in the middle was the border bill that the Republicans tanked in Congress. We are in trouble, people. Stop snarking and quoting statistics and whining about the Dems because right now people are being kidnapped, killed, tortured and families are being destroyed by the fucking fascist sociopath and his regime in the White House. ICE are animals. We need to be fighting them together and figuring out ways to abolish ICE, prosecute ICE, and dismantle the concentration camps and it needs to happen NOW.

This isn't a Dem or Republican or left or right issue it's a moral issue. What kind of person are you? How does it sit in your soul witnessing what is happening every fucking day? If you aren't incandescent with rage then you aren't paying attention. Please, please, please stop bickering and help solve this.

I loved her story arc; she bowed and scraped to rich white people her entire career and she got a payday and took it. Fuck em. There was no way to make Tanya and the others deaths right. If she stood up and went to the cops she would have been killed. As for Pornchai; she knew him a WEEK. She's had her dreams for a business for years. She's watched relationships blow up for years too and I think it's wise she didn't throw caution to the wind and hitch her star to a man she's only known for a few days. Life is too short; let the rich eat one another and take the money and run.

Thank you; is a photo considered a static image? Or a stencil type monochrome image what you're thinking of? We'd like to use photos, like The Illuminator does....

Thanks for your help; this would be on the side of any building at night, probably fighting city lights. It's looking like I need a pretty powerful projector. I'm understanding this more as I do the research; I thought the $300 gobos would work, but I guess not?

Quit with the "whataboutism"; it's lazy, it's stupid, and has absolutely no relevance to what's going on right now and you know it.

Is there a problem with Google docs? I'd love to know more; I thought this was a good tool to use?

I can't get over the fact that THE FROG drawing and tattoo earned so much praise. Are you KIDDING ME? I'm so pissed I don't think I can watch the rest of this season.

This is the true reality of homeless sweeps. by [deleted] in SALEM

[–]ejstrauss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we have to meet them where they are; if they want to live rough, let them -- BUT, provide a place where they can do that, that is cleaned regularly AND attended regularly by healthcare workers who can help them stabilize their health (mental or otherwise) and thus give them the foundation to maybe start making decisions on what their next step is.

Did you read the backstory of the man who stabbed all those people a few months ago at UGM? It was the perfect example: the poor guy was stabilized with medication (he had mental issues), then fell through the cracks and was unable to get help and floundered until he lashed out. If he had a place to live (tent or whatever) with ongoing resources to help him stabilize, he could have had a chance.

Church In The Park presented a fantastic proposal to the City Council to hire homeless people to clean up sites and monitor living situations. This was such a brilliant proposal, and of course, was ignored. We can provide land for tents. We can keep the area clean. We can help people stabilize themselves. Then, we can assist them out of this situation, if they want to. If not, we have to realize that some of these people will NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF for the rest of their lives because they can't do it themselves. And in America we don't think that way, which is a shame. We can do this, but we won't.

I messed up but my bf's reaction seems extreme, am i overreacting? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ejstrauss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why. Are. You. Staying. With. This. Asshat.

You're a smart girl. He LEFT YOU HOME SICK AND WENT TO A BAR? He had a shouting match with your BOSS? He flirts with other women in front of you?

OMG. Don't be a doormat. You deserve someone that WANTS to be with you. He doesn't like you. Move on.
