Whether one is pro- or anti-, the optics of âchild internment campsâ arenât good. President Donald Trumpâs âzero-toleranceâ policy, which required the arrest of everyone entering the U.S. illegally, resulted in even babies being pulled from parentsâ arms and worldwide condemnation. That meant chain-link holding pens, hastily created care facilities, mislaid records and alleged doping to muffle anguished cries. The [furor](5b2e0c4fecc760e95a44ca76:ot:591df7fbac0c811781aa5dbc:1/eb87561c/8f535227c5610144343dbe4ed1f28507//) culminated in repeated demands to reunite the 2,300 separated kids and sudden presidential pivots: an executive order pledging to keep families together, albeit in custody, and a retreat on immigration legislation.

In contrast to the optimism of 2015, when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriages, the past several years have offered reminders â from the Supreme Courtâs decision siding with the intolerant Colorado baker to other countriesâ outright repression â that thereâs still a long way to go. Yet observers point out the movement is rooted in protest, bolstered by its vocal members â and increasing number of allies.

Under the new system, both presidential and parliamentary spots will be decided at the same time, with far more control in the hands of the executive. Thereâs one new right, though, and thatâs the ability to form electoral alliances, which Erdoganâs surviving opponents have been more than anxious to take advantage of, especially when minority parties must meet a prohibitive 10-percent threshold to have any parliamentary voice.
