Jen the Libertarian ·

2019/07/22

Because nobody learned anything from the reaction to the Slate piece navel gazing about Mayor Pete's relative gayness and if he's gaying correctly I have to do a sequel to an episode I did back in March, discussing the TNR piece on Buttigieg and the Jezebel companion piece Let's hope I don't ever have to do a part 3

Jen the Libertarian ·

2019/07/04

Here is my valiant attempt to try to debunk some of the things I hear / read about immigration and the asylum process, hopefully it will be of some help to the general discourse (yeah I know I'm not holding my breath either but I tried)

Jen the Libertarian ·

2019/06/29

Here we are, discussing the first Democrat debate of the primary season. Yes it is June 2019. This is the world we live in now. So here are my thoughts after actually watching in real time both nights of the debates, I do keep this kinda high level because lol I'm not going to get granular on 4 hours of debate. I cannot overemphasize the 4 hours part. Yep.

So I had a nice sit down with Matt Cameron, a practicing immigration lawyer and teacher who works in the Boston area and is also founder and co-chair of Golden Stairs Immigration, a non-profit providing legal services to non-citizens who cannot afford legal representation. We talk about everything from "doing it legally" to the intersection of the immigration law and our criminal justice system to our shared hatred of ICE.

Jen the Libertarian ·
