And the inmates that got sent there really seem to be better off. I really like the insight into the Ohio prison. But why the fuck isn't she out of prison at this point? It was snowing. Nicky stepping into Red's shoes., even up to having a smock with her name on it just like Red used to. What happened to the days when this was a comedy? Fuck.
That scene with Karla was fucking haunting. Whoa, did Aleida fucking kill Daya? She had that coming, but whoa. And telling her about her father is a nice contrast to her flashback in s6. Glad to see Cindy reunite with her family. I really had hopes that she'd get better in Florida, but without anyone who puts her back to reality (and I doubt she'd listen to Nicky even if she was around), she's only bound to get worse :-( Nicky is all alone now :-( And Red and Lorna are absolutely falling apart without her :-( And this looks like the beginning of Lorna stalking Vinnie, or a complete deterioration, judging by her final scene. I cheered when Taystee punched Daya in the face, ngl.Īfter all those times when it didn't work out, we finally get to hear Suzanne sing. I just wanted to voice the impact this season has had on me and how grateful I am for it.Īh, now you guys finally remember you marriage, huh? You may not agree with me or my opinions regarding immigration and that’s fair. I saw myself and my partner in Diablo and Blanca. I saw my parents in Karla and the poor Mexican indigenous woman. I saw my siblings in those kids at their immigration hearings. As the women faded out into obscurity and uncertainty, I too felt that people like me were doing the same. Now with what’s happening to the DACA program the uncertainty of it all, these stories bring attention to how cruel and unfair these situations are. My parents didn’t disclose my status until late into high school. Maritza slowly fading out into uncertainty hit me harder than anything I have ever watched because it sums up what I have felt my entire life. The scene that got me the most were the poor kids at their immigration hearing all by themselves. I love that the show didn’t give good endings to anyone because it’s the hard reality. These women in detention centers and their stories are extremely heartbreaking. Karla was just the story of one of those bodies.Īs a DACA recipient who’s married to a US Citizen this season has done so much in terms of representation. There's essentially been a death valley, racking up thousands of bodies every year near our southern border, precisely because of our immigration policies. CBP records numbers of dead bodies they find near the border in the desert, but 3rd party experts p much guaranteed they're vastly under-reported, by the tens of thousands.

This forced migrant workers to risk the more hazardous desert terrains. In the 90s as Bill Clinton began the 'tough on immigration' talk, he passed legislation making it impossible for immigrants to simply cross the border in checkpoints in major cities (used to be you could really just walk into the US on a landbridge in metro areas). After testing it w a dead pig corpse clothed like a human, they found out that between the animal scavengers and the intense heat, the corpses rarely last 48 hours. Originally scientists figured it'd take a few weeks for bodies to decompose in that terrain. Listened to a RadioLab story a while back about immigrants crossing the desert.
