After a magnitude 7.0 earthquake devastated Haiti in 2010, leaving hundreds of thousands of people dead, Obama designated Haiti as a country whose nationals could receive Temporary Protected Status, meaning they could live in the U.S. temporarily. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
An estimated 46,000 Haitians retain temporary status, granted to Haitians who migrated to the U.S. within a year of the quake, or who were already in America, no matter their legal status.

Months after taking office, Trump abruptly announced he would end TPS for Haitians as well as immigrants from a handful of other countries.

Trump later would refer to Haiti as a “shithole” country. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Haitian immigrants in the U.S. are living in fear of a forced return to Haiti, a country paralyzed by poverty, violent protests and a debilitating cholera epidemic. 📸: @WallySkalij latimes.com/world-nation/s… Image
Haitian immigrants fear for their U.S.-born children, who would be eligible to remain in America .

For many, the idea of uprooting pre-teens to live in a deeply impoverished country seems out of the question.

Iran has vowed “harsh retaliation” for a U.S. airstrike near Baghdad’s airport that killed Tehran’s top general and the architect of its interventions across the Middle East.

The United States is urging its citizens to leave Iraq “immediately.”

In Tehran, thousands of worshipers took to the streets after Friday prayers to condemn the killing of Gen. Qassem Suleimani in a U.S. airstrike. 🎥: AP latimes.com/politics/story…
In ordering the killing of Gen. Qassem Suleimani, one of Iran’s highest-ranking officials, Trump has taken one of the biggest gambles of his presidency — a step that appears to lead the U.S. on a path toward escalated warfare.

Diamond M Ranch has grazed its cattle on federal land since World War II.

Since 2012, 26 wolves have been killed after Washington officials found that members of their packs had attacked Diamond M livestock.

@RichReadReports with the full story: latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Environmentalists say Diamond M Ranch not only fails to take preventive steps to safeguard its herds, but in some cases brings on the bloodshed by leaving cattle near known wolf dens.

In 2012, all seven members of a wolf family were shot, most from a helicopter, after officials found that the group had preyed on Diamond M cattle. Environmentalists accuse Diamond M of keeping salt blocks near a wolf den, causing cattle to swarm around it.

Breaking: Acidity levels in California coastal waters are rising at a rate double that of the global average, threatening major fisheries and sounding the alarm that the ocean can absorb only so much more of the world’s carbon emissions.
latimes.com/california/sto…
A study led by NOAA also made an unexpected connection between acidification and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, a climate cycle that other scientists say has played a big role in increasing rates of sea level rise affecting California.
latimes.com/california/sto…
Restoring the ocean’s kelp forests and other marine vegetation will help sequester some of this carbon, but ultimately, how much worse this all gets depends on the choices people make in the next decade.

Post and Times are chock full of impeachment stories but zero coverage of tens or even hundreds of thousands of people protesting for it all over the country tonight.
I mean god bless those marquee never Trumpers but which is likely to have more impact, their superPac or mass mobilization?
The Times eventually had a story up last night but now it’s back off the home mobile page. Post has one up mostly about protestors today but does note 600 events last night.

If there were 600 rallies to keep Trump in office guaranteed this would be splashed all over page 1

1. Black ppl, no matter where we come from, experience racism - and that racism shapes our life chances. In this edition of our meme series, we’re looking @ #BlackImmigrants and how laws & policies have devastating effects on foreign-born Black ppl here in the U.S.

A thread...
2. The US Census notes there are around 4.2M Black immigrants in the U.S., & of that number, about 600K are #undocumented. For these Black ppl, living @ the intersection of immigration & race, bias, racism, and criminalization make their experiences uniquely difficult. Examples…
3. After #HurricaneDorian devastated the #Bahamas, Black folks living there found it difficult to seek refuge in the U.S.. Bahamians were denied entry into the U.S. & the current admin. has refused to extend Temporary Protected Status* to the Bahamas.

Here’s a thing. Trump wants to call the government shutdown that he’s forced, which is leaving hundreds of thousands of people without money that they actually need... a ‘strike’! cnn.com/2019/01/04/pol…
Here’s another crazy Trump story that you won’t believe. He says he will not buckle on the shutdown until he gets his money even if it lasts another two years to the election! That’s two years not paying TSA agents or the border agents! Crazy right? cnn.com/2019/01/04/pol…
Another crazy Trump story - you won’t believe this one either, god, where did I read this one - is that he opened the meeting by ranting about impeachment and swearing until Nancy Pelosi told him the meeting was about reopening the government. cnn.com/2019/01/04/pol…

"I disagreed with [Reagan]. But he was not morally repulsive."

Here are some things I find morally repulsive:

Supporting Saddam, Rios Montt & SA apartheid

The War on Drugs

Destroying Nicaragua & El Salvador

Invading Grenada

Ignoring the AIDS crisis

washingtonpost.com/opinions/i-don…
Reagan is the only president to be condemned by the international court, for "the unlawful use of force" in Nicaragua.

His campaign of international terrorism in Central America left hundreds of thousands of people dead and four countries devastated.
The whitewashing of Ronald Reagan's violent, bloody legacy (and I've only begun to mention the crimes) is where our political discourse is at: you can support morally repulsive war criminals so long as they talk nice on TV.
