Migrant Detainment Centers Look Familiar To Survivors Of Japanese Internment

This is why she recently snuck into a Texas detention center for Latin American migrants and why she is so concerned, not only about the Trump Administration’s former policy of separating families, but also about their current policy of detaining families together. Prison is prison. Armed guards are armed guards. Call the policy what you will, but internment is internment and imprisonment is imprisonment. Both as an expert and as a human being, Ina has been witness to this hard fact....

More People Are Having An Emotional Affair Than Are Being Faithful

Simply put, everyone is having an emotional affair without you. “The epidemic of emotional affairs coincides with a tendency that we have noticed for people in long-term relationships to defend themselves psychologically,” psychologist Mark Borg told Fatherly. “That is, ironically protect themselves from anxiety-provoking aspects of love.” The surprising findings come from a group of experts conducting ongoing research on how men and women lie, cheat, and deceive those they love the most....

My Kid Is Learning Violence From Superheroes What Can I Do

I have an almost four-year-old son who is pretty smart for his age. He is very verbal and does understand feelings and when people are hurt, sad, happy — you name it!

Nintendo S Super Nes Classic Finally Hits Stores Tonight At Midnight

That said, if you’re thinking about making a run, here’s what you need to know: What is the Nintendo SNES Classic? First, the limited-release $80 SNES is essentially a pint-sized version of the classic 16-bit system that debuted in 1991, and it’s pretty damn sweet.

More importantly, this time the cords are long enough (unlike that on the NES Classic controller) that nobody’s forced to sit on top of a 60-inch flatscreen when they play Donkey Kong....
