Imagine: You face deportation. Youre one of lucky few provided an attorney. One day, you find out your trial is suddenly rescheduled to *tomorrow. No notice to your attorney. You & they have no time to prepare. This is happening *right now in NYC. Trump is callous to due process.
Our incredible immigration attorneys are now scrambling. Filing motions for more time to prepare. Pointing out evidence & paperwork they’re still waiting on or missing. Experts who are unavailable to testify. Lawyers who are on scheduled vacations. The response so far: Too bad.
“This lack of notice is yet another example of an ongoing series of insidious attempts to strip due & procedural fairness from immigration proceedings. As public defenders representing immigrants, we demand fairness & justice for our clients & condemn this egregious action.”

Matthew Charles, a man sentenced to 35 years for crack & the first person released under the First Step Act, now can't find housing. A common problem. Post-release, a range of new punishments just begin. Including exclusion from housing by law & practice. washingtonpost.com/arts-entertain…
600k people are released from jails & prisons every year. Roughly the size of Boston or Seattle. Only to be subjected to further exclusion, supervision, & marginalization that make it impossible to truly be free. It’s Perpetual Punishment.
Good news: Mr. Charles *just* moved in last nt to new apt. But there are hundreds of thousands each year who don't have his fortunate limelight or support (financial & publicity) from a Kim Kardashian. Homelessness shouldn't be used as a punishment. fox17.com/news/local/for…

These officers wrote “no” in their paperwork when asked if they used force. Despite assaulting this young man midday in front of dozens of witnesses. This is what happens when accountability is lost. When there are no consequences. Scariest part: There *still will likely be none.
And here it is. 4 days after releasing this video of officers’ brazen assault on young man: “NYPD investigators determined no misconduct was committed.” Message sent: Stalk streets in plain clothes. Beat up black men. Then lie about it. All acceptable. nydailynews.com/new-york/brook…
Chris’ attorney @mk_esq: "This kind of abuse happens all the time, we just happen to have footage in this case. A police officer’s word is given more credence in our system. So they don't bother. They knew they’d never be held accountable." She was right.

*Share widely.* Police assaulted my colleague's young client. She & he asked that I share this disturbing video to help find witnesses & those who took video. 9/15/2018. Flushing Ave/Humboldt St Brooklyn. Front of Green Corner Fish & Farmers Market. Tips: info@bds.org. Watch:
Client was 19 y/o now 20. Working at La Nortena Restaurant as a delivery driver using the restaurant’s motorized scooter. His boss sent him to the grocery store to pick up shrimp, onions & avocados. Here he is parking the scooter & walking inside. Minutes before assault.
Seconds after he walks into grocery store, he’s followed in by a plain clothed officer. Wearing a “Don’t tread on me” shirt. Outside, a group of officers gather.

Day 1:
I didn't want to but I decided I had better get dressed and ride a short loop to the coffee shop.

Now I'm cold but it was still worth it.

"I felt like this was the right time. Although comebacks are all the rage at the moment, I thought it's more important to introduce my music now regardless of that. I worked slowly on my album since 1 yr ago and while promoting with SHINee."
181126 SHINee Key FACE Media Showcase

"If I had released my solo album earlier, I think it would have seemed rushed. I wanted to calmly make music and prepare my stage. I was waiting for the right time for me, and 10 years ended up passing as a result."
181126 SHINee Key FACE Media Showcase

"The reason it took so long for my album to come out was because there were a lot important projects that I couldn't easily give up."

Imagine you go to work one day in the country that is your home.
Imagine you find this in your inbox.
Millions of EU citizens, your colleagues, neighbours and friends, no longer have to imagine it.
This is not an email I got (my employer did a much better job), but I have 1/
been sent this by several EU citizens now because they were so upset by the wording. Strictly speaking the above is correct: settled status is an application and there are criteria. So it won’t work for everyone. That’s why I’m vehemently opposed to it. But there are ways to 2/
say that that don’t increase anxieties in quite the way the above does. As settled status is being piloted and rolled out, I call on employers to be more alert to the stress this is causing millions. Be more considerate of how you write to your staff about this. 3/3

One of the world's most haunting ruined places is the ghost town of Kolmanskop, in the desert of Southern Namibia.

Once a thriving mining town, it now sits in an enormous "restricted zone" where people are still forbidden to enter, and is slowly being reclaimed by the sands.
One evening in 1908, a humble railway worker named Zacherias Lewala was working on the rails in the Southern Namib desert, shovelling them clear of the sand dunes that constantly roll over the land.

While working, he saw some strange-looking stones shining in the evening light.
Lewala picked up the stones & took them to his employer, who identified them for what they were: rough diamonds.

The find caused a sensation. Soon hordes of prospectors descended on the area, & this unassuming site became a new frontier in the diamond rush.

AU wherein, despite the prejudice people have against hybrids, Jeongguk’s managed to work his way up the ranks and establish a name for himself.
Taehyung, a hybrid w/ a difficult temperament, somehow falls under his care.
The only problem? Jeongguk wants nothing to do with him.
Little context:
More often than not, hybrids are sold as ‘pets’. The handful that do make smth out of themselves still fall victim to some sort of discrimination. Jeongguk’s gone through a lot & is disgusted by it all, so when Taehyung’s given to him, he hates the entire ordeal.
Notes
• Jeongguk has been aged up, so he’s four years older than Taehyung purely to allot for time wherein he becomes successful.
• This may border on nsfw.
• Taehyung will not act as a ‘pet’ or anything similar. He is a person.

Damon gets the sudden urge to check to phone and demands Katherine give it back to him. YESSS READ YOUR DAMN MESSAGES. Its like he got this feeling something wasn't right
"You are going to get yourself killed. The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid."
"I wouldn't have done it for you."
AAGSHD he will risk to life for Elena. We all been knew. But truthfully, he would have for Kat too. He did and he died in 1864.
He wouldn't do it for Katherine NOW, obviously.
