“Then one day, something happened. Made life very precious to me.”
“What was that?”
Why You Should Actually Be Terrified Right Now
It’s what happened to Jews in Germany in 1938 when their passports were declared invalid. That is what is beginning to happen here, now, to Hispanic citizens along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Oh, is it bad to compare the GOP to Nazis? Well, if members of the GOP do not like being compared to Nazis, they should consider not behaving exactly like Nazis.
Hispanic U.S. citizens, some of whom were in the U.S. military, are not being allowed to renew their passports. This is reportedly happening to “hundreds, even thousands” of Latinos, according to a report in the Washington Post. They’re getting letters from the State Department saying it does not believe they are citizens. The government claims their citizenships are fraudulent. “I’ve had probably 20 people who have been sent to the detention center—U.S. citizens,” Jaime Diez, an attorney in Brownsville, told The Washington Post.
The Washington Post also reports on ICE officials coming to citizens’ homes and taking their passports away. This is an escalation from a few months ago, when Americans were detained by ICE officials just for speaking Spanish to one another.
The administration is currently launching an effort to take citizenship from people who they suspect of fraud in obtaining it. Fraud in these cases is exceedingly rare. The last time the government tried to strip people of their citizenship was, according to Columbia Professor Mae Ngai, during The Red Scare of the 1950s. As Ngai remarks, McCarthyism is not typically remembered as a good period in American history.
There is good reason to believe that this could portend still worse things to come for the U.S. Hispanic population, unless people begin to speak out loudly, and fast.
First, they came for the Hispanics and I did nothing.
Then they came for (fill in the blanks) and I did nothing.
Then, when they came for me, there was no one to do nothing.
GUYS.
SILENCE IS COMPLICITY.
IT WILL HAUNT NOT ONLY YOU BUT YOUR CHILDRENS CHILDREN.
DONT BE SILENT. PASS THIS AROUND. Let everyone know it’s happening!
New level of #academicdrama
This dude just called himself out in his own footnotes???
“Notoriously complacent in this regard is Freudenberg (1993).”
……but you *are* Freudenberg (1993) even though you’ve Evolved into Freudenberg (2001).
It can get worse. For a while, in the UK, I used another surname. When I reverted to my father’s surname and wrote academic stuff, I had to keep explaining (in footnotes) that Surname 1 and Surname 2 were in fact the same person. Thank god that (1) I then went on to write in other academic fields, where I had no previous identities (2) most young women now know better than take their husbands’ last names.
silverflint drabble of the week
Week of October 22 (I’m a little late sorry!).
Prompt words: pirate, grace, fire.
It’s technically a few more than 100 words and it’s probably not my best work ever, but I’m so pleased to be back to a place where I feel like I can write.
my #1 priority politically is making sure we bring back cowboys but more explicitly homoerotic
Amen, sibling.
Captain Flint and Captain Flint
Oh yes. Thank you. Perfect embodiment of my secret headcanon, where Flint 1, Flint 2 and Silver live conflictfully ever after in Terra Australis …
I am true and the deceiver

Interviewer: What was your favorite moment? Like, what was your favorite moment in the stages of Silver becoming the person he became at least by the end of season three?
Luke Arnold: I mean as we were just talking about, the stomping [scene with Dufresne] is pretty big. Getting that was a big moment…it is the big shift really. But overall, it is all the Flint/Silver relationship. And there are so many little moments in that that I love. I love the one…the Flint and Silver in season two, the “are we still going after the gold?” “that’s all I needed to hear” scene…AND there are just so many pieces! Hunting the shark together was incredible. Everything on that little boat was amazing to do […] Just all those moments of discovery and how that relationship evolves. There’s even a moment early on in season four where Flint like…smiles?!? [continues talking] It’s great because you think of all the little moments in that relationship from the very beginning. So as much as it’s been great working with everyone, working with Toby and charting the strange little journey of Flint and Silver through the whole show is what it all comes down to for me.
(x)
they ask him what his favorite MOMENT in silver’s character development is and………..luke just proceeds to list……every silver and flint scene……in the whole show……..I’m crying
