I feel overwhelmed and pessimistic. The past few days were hazy from fires to the north. There are fires to the south, but currents keep that smoke southeast.
A judge ordered a flight to be turned midair and return a woman and child who were being deported before their asylum hearing was finished. Their premature deportation was illegal. The judge threatened Jeff Sessions (the attorney general) with contempt if the pair were not returned immediately. There is worse happening as well. Our admin has said human rights will not be an obstacle to our ends.
Earlier, I know I said the AU was smart to be careful of it's borders. Please forgive me. I just can't imagine where everyone, including my family, will go. The Guardian showed men in Shanghai sleeping on the streets because it's too hot in their apartments. I think about this every day, how the most people can be made as comfortable as possible.
There must be climate issues driving refugees in addition to the nightmarish crime, from Central America.
Our cool nights make sleep comfortable. I can't imagine unrelenting heat.
