A sign of how tough it is to legally immigrate to the US: people are finding it “easier” to trek through a deadly jungle, hitchhike thousands of miles through Central America, and brave cartel territory in Mexico, then it is to get a visa to come legally. THAT is the crisis.
China's uneven economic recovery and the difficulty of obtaining a visa are driving immigrants to brave the difficult overland journey, and pandemic travel restrictions have created pent-up demand, said Ariel Ruiz Soto, a policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute "Most people believe when they come to the border, in some ways it's easier than taking the longer, legal route," he said.

Must read by @JeongPark52 @cindychangLA Many have recently survived a novel and dangerous journey — flying from China to Ecuador, braving the treacherous rainforest of the Darien Gap on foot, then traversing Mexico by car & bus before crossing the border. latimes.com/california/story…

I am a geriatric millennial. Do you know how many social media platforms I've joined in my lifetime? Enough.

Normalize not bringing up a similar story about yourself when someone is telling you something about themselves, just listen

Introvert status: just had to RSVP yes to something because although I don’t want to go, I want to keep being invited, so I need to make an effort.

Fun NC geography: If you drive about 370 miles west from Raleigh, you'll still be (barely) in North Carolina If you drive about 370 miles north from Raleigh, you'll be in the capital of Pennsylvania (planning to visit Cherokee County this summer, and this blows my mind)

The waiting period for an abortion (72 hours) is now *officially* longer than the deliberation process was (48 hours) for North Carolina’s new abortion ban. #ncpol #ncga

Now, more than ever we need leaders who will be unwavering and unapologetic in their support of abortion rights. I’ll fight to codify Roe in the #ncga and continue my strong record of defending the right to choose.#ncpol #WomensRights #SCOTUS #Mecklenburg
