Hundreds of Haitian nationals — soon to be thousands — are being sent back to Haiti by the Biden Administration from the border even though many haven’t lived in Haiti for decades and have zero work or even a place to stay in a country they barely know:

Too many people thought it was perfectly fine to flee their homes during Covid for more space and cheaper housing but have the nerve to judge asylum-seekers for fleeing because of war, hunger and natural disasters.

Sad that in 2021 I have to explain to a GOP Governor that:

2. Periods are late all the time from stress, diet,etc

Climate change is making hurricanes like Ida worse. As the planet warms, storms:

◾️ are more likely to be larger and stronger
◾️ move more slowly and drop more rain
◾️ intensify faster, like how quickly Ida went from a Category 1 to a Category 4https://t.co/KXWChygUtE pic.twitter.com/LPEJBFxVre
