In a move that redefines the phrase 'judicial activism' as 'judicial sadism,' the Supreme Court has graciously permitted Donald Trump to shred the Temporary Protected Status for tens of thousands of Haitians and Syrians. Because nothing says 'land of the free' like deporting people to countries that are currently on fire. The court, in its infinite wisdom, decided that the President has the 'broad discretion' to revoke protections for people fleeing literal hell.
Meanwhile, global leaders are dusting off their 'deeply concerned' statements, which they keep in a drawer next to the 'thoughts and prayers.' Perhaps they should start a club. The 'We Condemn This In The Strongest Possible Terms' club.
First meeting: never, because that would require action. Trump, for his part, is probably tweeting something about how he's making America great by being a colossal arse to the most vulnerable. The rest of us?
Just sitting here, watching the asylum burn. Literally. In Syria.
And Haiti.
