>Democrats tried programs to give them citizenship, Republicans scrapped that during Trump.

This is flat false. This legal-status-for-service program goes back to Bush 43. The deportations for the men named in this article were during the Obama/Biden administration.

Reply to comment by PM_me_Jazz in Wedding Planner in Ukraine War Has Adapted to Curfews, Blackouts, the determination to keep on living and to be happy is so heartwarming. by TheHuanWhoKnocks

I'm 35 and have an engineering degree and my wife is a ICU nurse. I just learned how this stuff works like 6 months ago when I read the Magic School Bus book to my kid where they go inside the human body. Before that I just never even took the time to think about it.

Introducing: the venule and venous capillaries

My thinking is that (without looking at a detailed anatomy source like a textbook) maybe it's a vein that is still classified as a vein in anatomy and not what we would call a venule or the second half of a capillary bed containing 'venous blood'. Vein direct to heart not like branches of venules to vein to heart, maybe?

Edit: Wuh oh, I made a guess and decided to actually look into it more it's been fairly proven to be cultural belief mostly

I think I will try that method myself the next time I go with my wife into some large department store like Macy's. ;-)

Oh, good God. My own joke just gave me a flashback of an incident that actually was in a Macy's. There was scattered poop all over the floor near the entrance. It was probably from some child. Regardless, it was soooo nasty. Despite the announcement I heard about a need for a cleanup (right before I encountered the mess), no employees were standing around to warn shoppers! Some people were walking along not looking down and knocking the stuff around. Ugh!

White Paper of 1939

>The White Paper of 1939 was a policy paper issued by the British government, led by Neville Chamberlain, in response to the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. After its formal approval in the House of Commons on 23 May 1939, it acted as the governing policy for Mandatory Palestine from 1939 to the 1948 British departure. After the war, the Mandate was referred to the United Nations. The policy, first drafted in March 1939, was prepared by the British government unilaterally as a result of the failure of the Arab-Zionist London Conference.

It did not, not in the way you intend anyway. The region was controlled by the British Mandate at the time, and due to heavy Palestinian resistance to the idea of more Jews coming to the area, refugees included, the British enacted a series of immigration restrictions called the White Papers, which crippled the ability of Jews attempting to flee from Europe to get there. The Palestinians' policy has demonstrably got Jews killed.
