Thank you so much for bringing this to the forefront!
In the US at least, a lot of rightwing Christians say that the part in the Bible about bringing forth children in suffering means, anything that alleviates the suffering is not okay
The suffering is penance for Eve tasting the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Everyone who gives birth has to pay for that long ago sin (and, by implication, for the sin of having sex, and potentially maybe enjoying it)
Can anybody advise me on how to say alley (as in the little paved or unpaved routes that goes through the middle of city blocks) in Central / South American Spanish?
Online translation says callejón, but I just want to double check that is what actual humans say
This is for giving directions to a delivery person
Thanks much, and boosts welcome!
This story is so many kinds of fucked up
The fire was 13% contained
Fire chief pulls two crews off the fire, the two crews with the most brown-skinned people
Sends them away from the fire, tells them a boss will meet them there, and they are supposed to cut firewood for the community
Now, cutting firewood is the kind of thing that Forest Service crews do during the offseason, to keep in shape and because they are paying people. Contractor crews are different. They only pay people when they are working, when there is a fire. But...
As a former contractor wildland firefighter, I have never heard of a contractor crew cutting firewood. I'm not saying it didn't doesn't happen, but it is sus. And during an active fire? It's downright bizarre
The crew apparently thought it was sus too, because they didn't cut the firewood
They said they were concerned the logs they saw there might belong to a private corporation. Article doesn't say why they thought that, but maybe there were paper signs stapled to the logs. That would be typical
I think this was entrapment
And then ICE turns up
If you haven't spent time in the PNW woods, you might not know what this means
Finding someone in the PNW forests is not like finding someone in a national park. There aren't any other people around. There aren't any trails
There are millions and millions and millions of miles of dirt road through rugged terrain. It would take years to search for a crew, if you didn't have very detailed directions and probably a latitude and longitude pin
Someone sent those brown crews to a remote spot, with a fake job to do, and then sent ICE after them
I bet the ICE people were upset when they didn't find the crews illegally cutting up the logs. It probably meant they couldn't arrest everyone, but only the few people who they could find immigration BS against
Here's hoping they didn't make their quota that day. And that they got lost on their way there, and spent the whole day driving around in the trees
