Another unanswered question related to the paused asylum adjudications -- will the government pause collections of the annual asylum fees that were recently set forth in the OBBB? Or will the cases stay pending in limbo, with the government collecting $100 every year for each application, without any intention of reaching a decision on the case? (Of course, we know the answer to this.)

Great question! Thanks, Valeria!
⭐ “Grandmas & Grandpas in the Info War Fight!” ⭐
Dear Grandmas and Grandpas
From sea to bright sea,
A message is calling
For you and for me—
We’re living a battle
Of truth vs. spin,
Where the lies try to shout
And the facts try to win.
The Fox-MAGA megaphone
Blasts night and day,
With deepfakes and nonsense
All flying our way.
They twist up the stories,
They scramble the facts,
They feed folks confusion
Through digital tracks.
But we have a power
They don’t understand—
A lifetime of wisdom
And hearts that withstand.
So, gather your courage,
Your coffee, your chair—
Let’s jump in the fight
With some digital flair!
“Use ChatGPT?”
Oh yes, indeed do!
It helps write the truth
In a style fresh and new.
It helps draft a comment,
A post, or a share,
It helps check a rumor
For truth hiding there.
Our allies are speaking—
Each brave, steady voice:
Democracy Docket,
Brian Tyler Cohen,
MeidasTouch,
Really American—
All lighting the choice.
They’re naming the dangers,
They’re waving the flags,
While Miller and MAGA
Rev up ICE drag-rags.
But we won’t stay silent,
We won’t disappear—
We’ll speak for our families
With truth loud and clear.
Remember the elders
Who fought long ago—
In France under Nazis,
They whispered, “Let’s go!”
With papers and pamphlets
Passed hand-to-hand fast,
They fought for the future
To outshine the past.
And grandmas in kitchens
Behind Iron Curtain,
Read banned words aloud
Just to keep others certain.
If they held the lanterns
In darkness so grim,
Then surely we rise
When democracy dims.
We’ve keyboards!
We’ve wifi!
We’ve tools they could dream!
We’ve posts, memes, and Substacks
To strengthen the team.
So pick up your laptop,
Your iPad or phone—
Let’s show this new era
We’re not overthrown.
Let’s teach all the grands
How to vet, check, and see,
How to sort out the noise
From reality.
For truth needs defenders,
Not watchers who yawn—
So stand with me proudly,
My Silver Fox Dawn.
If you can scroll Facebook,
You can write what is right.
If you tell a good story,
You can shine someone’s night.
And if you’re still here,
Reading bold, standing tall—
You’re already a soldier
In freedom’s great call.
So onward, dear friends,
With our lanterns of light—
We’ll beam through the darkness
And win this truth fight.
