Como en los viejos tiempos, anoto en mi libreta de apuntes las letras de mi inspiración, palabras cargadas de sentimientos e ideas que, más tarde, con calma, transcribo en el equipo de cómputo y publico o agrego, gradualmente, a mis proyectos literarios. Como en los viejos tiempos, escribo notas en mi cuaderno, entre una actividad y otra, en esos lapsos que, por su paso ligero y su presencia fugaz, se llevan pedazos de vida, y lo hago porque de otra panera no dispondría de espacios para escribir. Como en los viejos tiempos, escribo, plasmo mi tinta en cada página; aunque los demás, inmersos en ambientes y en mundos virtuales, de pronto desvíen su atención en mí y crean que soy un pobre náufrago que sobrevive a los remolinos de la hora contemporánea y que, por lo mismo, vengo de…

Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security Issue Rule to Efficiently and Fairly Process Asylum Claims | OPA | Department of Justice

The rule authorizes asylum officers within U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to consider the asylum applications of individuals subject to expedited removal who assert a fear of persecution or torture and pass the required credible fear screening. Currently, such cases are decided only by immigration judges within the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).

Due to existing court backlogs, the process for hearing and deciding these asylum cases currently takes several years on average. When fully implemented, the reforms and new efficiencies will shorten the process to several months for most asylum applicants covered by this rule.

“This rule advances our efforts to ensure that asylum claims are processed fairly, expeditiously, and consistent with due process,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “It will help reduce the burden on our immigration courts, protect the rights of those fleeing persecution and violence, and enable immigration judges to issue removal orders when appropriate. We look forward to receiving additional input from stakeholders and the public on this important rule.”

“The current system for handling asylum claims at our borders has long needed repair,” said Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “Through this rule, we are building a more functional and sensible asylum system to ensure that individuals who are eligible will receive protection more swiftly, while those who are not eligible will be rapidly removed. We will process claims for asylum or other humanitarian protection in a timely and efficient manner while ensuring due process.”

Under the rule, individuals who receive a positive credible fear determination will receive a timely interview with an asylum officer to elicit all relevant and useful information about their asylum claim. Following an interview, USCIS will decide whether to grant asylum, and, if necessary, determine the applicant’s eligibility for withholding of removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT).

Justice Department Files Voting Rights Lawsuit Against Galveston County, Texas to Challenge County Redistricting Plan | OPA | Department of Justice

“This action is the latest demonstration of the Justice Department’s commitment to protecting the voting rights of all Americans, particularly during the current redistricting cycle,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Our complaint alleges that Galveston County has violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act by devising a redistricting plan that dismantles the only district in which Black and Hispanic voters had the opportunity to elect a candidate of choice to the county’s governing body. We will continue to use all available tools to challenge voting discrimination in our country.”

“The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas is committed to protecting the voting rights of all of our citizens,” said U.S. Attorney Jennifer B. Lowery for the Southern District of Texas. “We are pleased to join the Civil Rights Division in bringing this important lawsuit under the Voting Rights Act.”

I know- Eu sei

Coisas da SIL

Eu sei
Que tenho muito que aprender.

Eu sei
Que tenho que me conter.

Eu sei
Que nem tudo que parece é.

Eu sei
Que a vida é uma jornada.

Eu sei
Que o que vejo pode até me fazer crer.
Pois a vida é pra lutar, viver e correr.

Eu sei… por isso eu quero falar, cantar e amar.

I know

I know
That I have a lot to learn.

I know
That I have to contain myself.

I know
That not everything is as it seems.

I know
That life is a journey.

I know
That what I see can even make me believe.
Because life is for fighting, living and running.

I know… that’s why I want to talk, sing and love.

My View: There Are Not “Two Sides” on Ukraine

Diane Ravitch's blog

As regular readers know, I have received and posted several comments complaining that I don’t write posts showing “both sides” or “different sides” on Ukraine. They disapprove of my support for Ukraine and my criticism of Putin.

In some cases, the commenters have included links to articles or videos claiming that Putin had no choice but to invade Ukraine because…he felt encircled by NATO, or he needed to protect Russians in Ukraine, or Ukraine is overrun by Nazis, or some policy analyst warned that NATO’s expansion would provoke Putin. Other commenters claim that I should not post anything sympathetic to Ukraine unless I post equally sympathetic commentaries about places where the U.S. brutalized the local population or where other nations are suffering.

Let me explain. This is my blog. It is not CNN, FOX, MSNBC, or a network station. The articles I post are my choice.

My choice is to…
