There is no way to deport a 5 year old with dignity because deporting a 5 year old is wrong

I am surprised the partial outage at IRS.gov has not gotten any coverage. I have not been able to set up an installment plan for two days now, site says my return isn't processed and I'm technically late in filing. Been on hold for an hour...

It's not that this country has never had state sanctioned murder for mass comsumption, it's just that at some point it became taboo to say that you wanted to actually see a lynching, but our current government is trying to get rid of that taboo and take America back to its roots.

One example why ignoring common sense in favor of "scientific facts" can be dangerous: "During surgery on newborns, for example, it was common not to use anesthesia; the drugs might damage a young brain — if babies weren’t conscious, what was the value of making them unconscious?"

This article (and, I suspect, the quoted researchers) conflate "consciousness" with "brain activity we can measure with this one test," which is an insane leap. And apparently non-human animals aren't conscious—unless they're implanted with human cells. I can't wait for this ignorant hubris to fall
