On Thursday morning, Sen. Bernie Sanders dropped his long-anticipated immigration platform.
Arguably the most ambitious of any Democratic presidential candidate’s
so far, the plan goes beyond a general call for a path to legal status
for immigrants and takes full aim at President Donald Trump’s racist
policies at the southern border. Unlike any other candidate, Sanders
calls for the break up of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and to improve working conditions
and labor protections for industries that rely on an immigrant
workforce.
Incrēdibile est quantō dēsīderiō tuī tenear. In causā amor prīmum, deinde quod nōn cōnsuēvimus abesse. Inde est quod magnam noctium partem in imāgine tuā vigil exigō; inde quod interdiū, quibus hōrīs tē vīsere solēbam, ad diaetam tuam ipsī mē, ut vērissimē dīcitur, pedēs dūcunt; quod dēnique aeger et maestus ac similis exclūsō ā vacuō līmine recēdō.

“It is incredible by how much desire of you I am held. The reason: first, love, then that we are not accustomed to be apart. That is why I spend a great part of nights awake contemplating your likeness; that is why by day, during which hours I was accustomed to visit you, my feet themselves––as is most truly said––lead me to your room; that is why, at last, distressed and sad and similar to someone shut out by an empty doorway, I withdraw.”
A letter from Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus (Pliny the Younger) to his wife, Calpurnia. Early 2nd Century CE.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
