A federal judge issued a last-minute temporary stay on Monday to block the Trump administration’s attempt to remove temporary legal protections for up to 350,000 Haitian immigrants across the United States. In a brutal 83-page takedown, Judge Ana C. Reyes of the US District Court for DC specifically laid into a December X post from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that claimed foreign “killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies” are ruining the vision of the founding fathers… Reyes said that it was therefore “substantially likely” that Noem had moved to end TPS status for Haitians due to “hostility to nonwhite immigrants.” —Mother Jones, February 3, 2026
Ice queens must be manicured, beautiful,
at least from a distance. Hence, Botox
serums, facelifts, veneers, fillers, lashes,
skin resurfacing, Medusa extensions.
Athena sprang helmeted from the bully Zeus,
She was divinely fair, they say, the gray-
Eyed patron and protector of violent men.
Kristi hatched from an old orange thatch
to sit at the right hand of Daddy. A son
might have overthrown Zeus, as prophesied.
Such loyal daughters must envy witches.
Cruella de Ville was her own woman, the Wicked
Witch of the West, unmoisturized, answered to no one.
But like a witch, ice eventually melts.
