Maher Tarabishi’s family had hoped he could be present to say his final goodbyes to his son, Wael.
Maher, Wael’s primary caretaker, has been in federal detainment since October, separating him from his son as he battled severe health complications from a serious and rare inherited disorder.
But despite the family’s public pleas for Maher’s temporary release, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials denied their request, his attorney said

With the way our election system works, not voting for Harris was the same as voting for Trump.
Well, I guess I should’ve said I voted as progressive as possible within the confines of our election system. Doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as well haha.
Ranked choice elections are, like, right there. Frustrating that we can’t have them.

Your attacks on Harris’ character with no factual explanation is ludicrous. As for an inability to form a coherent thought, I distinctly remember her laying out clearly, concisely, and publicly several concrete policies with high level actions to reach the goals both in speeches and in debates. In fact, I heard criticism of her because she was too “intellectual” or detailed. Trump, on the other hand constantly rambles, goes off topic, uses words incorrectly and makes up whole new words. Your assertions are laughable on the surface.
You can disagree with her approach to policy, but attacking her personally in such a virulent fashion only shows you have no counter argument to her positions and are attacking her because she’s not in your “tribe”. In fact, your use of vicious nicknames gives a very strong impression that you are very much a Trump/MAGA partisan. Those people are well known to lack any kind of critical thinking and totally reject any factual information that counters their world view.

uh-huh. got it.
cool
you missed a bit of the quote there but all good
By voting for neither you said you were fine with everything Trump and project 2025 promised.
Life doesn’t always give you perfect options, but in this case one was significantly worse than the other.
Now instead of getting 4 years to regroup and push progressivism, we get an unknown number of years of fascism.
And all of that is completely ignoring Harris’s voting history, which was the closest to Sanders of the other senators, and the fact that as VP she pushed for an official investigation into Israel so they could bypass the law forcing them to provide arms.

Well we only had two viable choices and I’m pretty sure as bad as she was, she wouldn’t be a dictator now.
Ok. Trump isn’t either. He wants to be, but he isn’t - still mostly obeying the courts for now, even if he drags his feet a bit sometimes.
Would she have been as bad domestically? Probably not, but there’s danger in that too - allowing liberals to overlook the heinous crimes of the American empire, as so many did during Biden’s presidency, because their own privileged comfort was never at risk. Only the lives of thousands of brown people overseas and well, that’s just the cost of ““democracy””, isn’t it?
Anyway, as I said, she still would’ve lost even if she secured every single third-party vote, so you’re yelling into a quantifiable abyss here. She was a shit candidate and will be a shit candidate still if she runs again, just like Hillary Clinton.
What part of two choices are you not understanding? There’s no reality in which Kamala Harris is as bad as Trump. Bad yes. As bad? It’s not even close.
More people died during Biden’s term than Trump’s so
both seem irredeemably evil to me
