Did anyone else hear this story on NPR: Electronic Anklets Track Asylum Seekers in U.S.?? I cannot believe this is happening! I'm getting flashes of the Third Reich, 1984, and the Handmaid's Tale all at once in my head and that is no fun. Electronic anklets are the mark of seriously dangerous criminals. So now we're criminalizing immigrants who legally apply to remain in the states? Yeah. That's a good idea.

I'm getting sick just thinking about this.

I can't believe that I'm living in the land of freedom. The land of truth and justice. The earth is going to open up and swallow the Statue of Liberty. And we'd deserve it.
