So freaking god damn sad that it took a court order. How are we a Christian nation????

Thank goodness - Citing the severity of the coronavirus pandemic, a federal judge in Los Angeles on Friday ordered the imminent release of migrant children held in the country’s three family detention centers.

Just wish it didn’t take a pandemic. #covid19

The ruling is part of an ongoing effort to release immigrants held in detention who are particularly susceptible to the coronavirus given the confined settings at facilities and the potential for spread.

In her order, Judge Dolly M. Gee of the US District Court for the Central District of California called for the swift removal of migrant children who are at one of the three family detention centers, which are run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and located in Texas and Pennsylvania.

The children must be released with their parents or to "available suitable sponsors or other available COVID-free non-congregate settings" with the consent of their parents or guardians, Judge Gee said.

We Are ALL In This Together

It was never about politics or neatly divided along ideological lines. All the virus cares about is naive and susceptible bodies - red, blue, or whatever.

Do you value your life? VOTE THESE KILLERS INTO OBLIVION.

Laurence Tribe

70,000 American lives were lost between the last Corona briefing and today’s. This performance was the most dishonest yet. These people are collaborating with pure evil. Do you value your life? The lives of your family and friends? If you do, VOTE THESE KILLERS INTO OBLIVION.

Reporter at Trump’s Tulsa rally tests positive for COVID-19

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A journalist who attended President Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa last week said Friday he has tested positive for COVID-19.

Oklahoma Watch reporter Paul Monies said he was notified Friday of his positive diagnosis.

“I’m pretty surprised,” Monies wrote on Twitter. “I have zero symptoms (so far) and I feel fine. In fact, I ran 5 miles this morning.”

Monies said he was inside the rally for about 6 hours on Saturday at the BOK Center and that he wore a mask and mostly practiced social distancing, except for when he went to the concourse to get a snack. He said he was never close to the president.
