I'm just bleak. I'm trying to avoid news, but it's impossible. H is included in the people who will lose citizenship if the executive order ending birth right citizenship takes effect. It seems like it's obviously unconstitutional and will get struck down by courts, but I no longer have any faith in our judicial system. "That could never happen" is not in my vocabulary anymore. I have a lot more faith that no one would effectively be able to go back and match up all those records with any efficiency, and instead we'll just be in limbo forever. See also student loans. 

Nothing much else going on. It's still way too cold here and I don't want to do my job right now. I just cut up a bunch of tomatoes to make homemade soup for lunch. Maybe that will brighten the day. 

*Hugs* I was really struggling last night when I saw the order declaring that "safe" spaces, aka schools, hospitals, churches, etc can now be raided by ICE. There's a pit in my stomach. I could totally see us being raided because we are in a very poor, very crime ridden area with a very large immigrant population. Many of my patients are undocumented or at the very least weren't born here. 

As someone empathetic so the situation of undocumented but selfishly as a parent of school children, practicing Catholic and parent of a child at a hospital every 6 weeks, selfishly these are OUR safe spaces.    These are places where law enforcement should be only in the times of emergencies and raiding them is not one.   I find it completely morally repugnant that under the guise of "safety" this administration has no f*cks to give about disrupting the educational process (and the right of my kids to receive one), my freedom of worship and ability to address medical needs.   IMO no matter what your feeling is on the immigration you should be angry that this is now on the table.    

I already saw local news that one of the high schools in CT largest city is coming up with protocols to deal with ways to combat this. 

It's absolutely terrifying, and I wonder how many people will decide their plan is to just not send their kids to school. I just can't wrap my head around the cruelty for sport. 

I haven't talked to my mom since Christmas, and I'm having a really hard time not calling her and screaming that this blood will be on her hands.
