Trump's ICE wrongly deported a legal migrant to El Salvador and now they say there is nothing they can do

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122098) • United States 15h

We've all seen Trump's obsession with and hatred for immigrants--both legal and illegal. He started with it on like Day 1 of his first term with the Muslim ban and he has been ranting, raving, and lying about so many of them...

20 hours later Senator Cory Booker is still holding and speaking on the House floor

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122098) • United States 16h

Wow! I am so proud of the senator from my state. He is amazing. Last night Booker took to the floor to start some "good trouble" (as the late John Lewis would say) and said that he would speak out against Trump's agenda for as...

A belated birthday present from a student

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122098) • United States 23h

This girl is always in here and is up in my grill. She pesters me when I’m on hall duty. I’ll tell her to sit down so she will stand. I’ll tell her to be quiet so she will sing. I’ve never given off some warm and cuddly vibe. So...

Trump keeps talking about a 3rd presidential term

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122098) • United States 31 Mar

Aren't Republicans the "law and order" party? Aren't they they ones who love the Constitution and their beloved Second Amendment right to own 100 guns? Isn't Trump the one who was stupidly pictured hugging the US flag? For at...

Back from dinner with my mother

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122098) • United States 31 Mar

My mother hasn't been in my apartment in like 4 years. My sister once called it a "$hithole". My mother's excuse has been that she has breathing problems and at one point had a collapsed lung. Funny that she has no problem...

The second student rescheduled. . . again

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122098) • United States 31 Mar

This is frustrating. I already have so many hours scheduled and I'm waiting on hearing about 2 other students who have makeup hours to do. I had 2 hours scheduled every afternoon this week. Oh well. I'll figure something out. If...

Trump "couldn't care less" if his auto tariffs increase prices

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122098) • United States 30 Mar

This guy is so stupid. Not only does he not understand that tariffs are a tax and increase prices for Americans but he also doesn't understand how automobile manufacturing works. He said: "I couldn’t care less if they raise...

Greenland just isn't into us

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122098) • United States 29 Mar

What will it take to get that into Trump's thick head? JD Vance, his wife Usha, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and some other administration officials visited Greenland yesterday. It was originally supposed to be a...

Whiskey will be here both days this weekend

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122098) • United States 28 Mar

My former/current neighbor is working 12 hour shifts this weekend. She has a roommate but for whatever reason she won't leave the dog in the apartment with her. Maybe because the roommate would keep him in his crate. A week or 2...
