On this week's South Florida Roundup episode, we talked with the reporters who've heard from the first inmates at Florida's controversial new migrant detention center out in the Everglades, Alligator Alcatraz — a place Miami-Dade County's mayor says “is not who we are” (1:08). We also discussed how Haitians and other migrants here are coping with President Trump's efforts to strip them of their deportation protections (20:50). And we looked at why Key West did a 180 on partnering with the feds on immigration (35:45).

Today on the Show: Haiti in shambles and thousands of Haitians on the run.

Bob talks with Patrick Joseph, a Haitian national living in Springfield, Ohio, on his legal work status in the U.S. and the removal of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants, potentially sending tens or hundreds of thousands of Haitians back to Haiti while the country still has no operating government. Support the show

This Day in Legal History: Vermont Abolishes Slavery for MenOn July 8, 1777, the Vermont Republic adopted a constitution that became the first in what would eventually become the United States to formally abolish slavery. At the time, Vermont was not yet a state—it was an independent republic formed after declaring independence from both New York and British colonial rule. The new constitution, influenced by Enlightenment principles and revolutionary ideals, declared that “no male person born in this country, or brought from over sea, ought to be held by law, to serve any person, as a servant, slave or apprentice” after the age of 21.This clause effectively outlawed slavery for adult men and set the groundwork for emancipation, although enforcement was inconsistent. Vermont's action was revolutionary, especially considering that slavery remained deeply entrenched in both the southern and northern American colonies. While other Northern states like Pennsylvania and Massachusetts would later take steps toward abolition, Vermont's constitutional ban was a bold and early legal rebuke of human bondage.Despite its symbolic significance, the legal impact was somewhat limited. Vermont did not join the Union until 1791, and historical records indicate that some slavery-like practices may have persisted unofficially. Nevertheless, the 1777 constitution established an early legal precedent for anti-slavery sentiment, showing how legal documents could be used to challenge institutional oppression. The language also hinted at the contradictions between American ideals of liberty and the reality of enslavement.Several major U.S. medical organizations filed a lawsuit on July 7 against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the HHS, challenging recent changes to federal COVID-19 vaccine policy. The plaintiffs—including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Physicians—are seeking to overturn Kennedy's directive removing COVID-19 vaccines from the CDC's immunization schedules for children and pregnant women. They argue that the move poses an immediate threat to public health and undermines evidence-based medical policy.The complaint accuses Kennedy of dismantling the federally established vaccine framework that has historically saved millions of lives. Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic, took control of HHS earlier this year and has taken steps to reshape vaccine policy. In addition to altering the immunization schedules, he also dismissed all 17 members of the CDC's independent vaccine advisory committee and replaced them with seven individuals, some of whom have publicly opposed vaccination.Medical groups contend that these actions are not grounded in science and place vulnerable populations at significant risk of preventable diseases. HHS has not yet commented on the lawsuit.Medical groups sue HHS, Kennedy over vaccine policy | ReutersThe Biden administration had extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Hondurans and Nicaraguans in 2023, citing lingering effects of Hurricane Mitch, political instability, and economic hardship. But on July 7, the Department of Homeland Security under President Donald Trump announced it will end those protections effective September 6, 2025, impacting roughly 72,000 Hondurans and 4,000 Nicaraguans. TPS offers deportation relief and work permits to migrants from countries experiencing crisis, but Trump officials argue the program has been overused.Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said both countries have recovered significantly, referencing tourism, real estate, and energy developments. Critics, including Democrats and migrant advocates, say ending TPS will uproot people who have legally lived and worked in the U.S. for decades and may force them to return to dangerous or unstable conditions. The Honduran deputy foreign minister acknowledged the decision wasn't country-specific, but part of a broader rollback of TPS protections.Trump's administration has already targeted TPS designations for migrants from Venezuela, Haiti, Afghanistan, and Cameroon. Legal battles continue over the policy's rollback: while the Supreme Court recently upheld ending TPS for Venezuelans, a federal judge blocked the termination for Haitians just last week.Trump to end deportation protections for thousands of Hondurans and Nicaraguans | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week focuses on Maryland's new 3% digital services tax, which took effect on July 1. I argue that while the state's goal of modernizing its tax base is understandable, the execution creates more problems than it solves. Rather than taxing consumption—the standard, more efficient route—Maryland is taxing business inputs like data hosting and web services. This approach violates basic tax principles, potentially stifling investment and driving up operational costs for firms doing business in the state.The administrative burden is uniquely complex. Vendors must determine how much of each service is used in Maryland, secure pre-approval for calculation methods, and issue separate certificates per transaction. No other state requires this, which leaves businesses with a costly choice: build a Maryland-specific tax compliance system, risk penalties, or exit the market entirely. The true burden, then, is not just the 3% rate, but the compliance infrastructure that must be created from scratch.Ultimately, the tax may hurt the very businesses Maryland is counting on for economic growth. Consumers may face higher prices, companies may route around the state, and the tax may collapse under its own administrative weight. I argue that the smarter path forward lies in multistate coordination, where shared definitions and harmonized rules could make enforcement more efficient and less distortionary. Without collaboration, Maryland risks substituting short-term revenue for long-term competitiveness. This is a public episode.

How to Dodge a Cannonball is a razor-sharp satire that dives into the heart of the Civil War, hilariously questioning the essence of the fight, not just for territory, but for the soul of America.How to Dodge a Cannonball (Henry Holt, 2025) is funnier than the Civil War should ever be. It follows Anders, a teenage idealist who enlists and reenlists to shape the American Future―as soon as he figures out what that is, who it includes, and why everyone wants him to die for it. Escaping his violently insane mother is a bonus.Anders finds honor as a proud Union flag twirler―until he's captured. Then he tries life as a diehard Confederate―until fate asks him to die hard for the Confederacy at Gettysburg. Barely alive, Anders limps into a Black Union regiment in a stolen uniform. While visibly white, he claims to be an octoroon, and they claim to believe him. Only then does his life get truly strange.His new brothers are even stranger, including a science-fiction playwright, a Haitian double agent, and a former slave feuding with God. Despite his best efforts, Anders starts seeing the war through their eyes, sparking ill-timed questions about who gets to be American or exploit the theater of war. Dennard Dayle's satire spares no one as doomed charges, draft riots, gleeful arms dealers, and native suppression campaigns test everyone's definition of loyalty.Uproariously funny and revelatory, How to Dodge a Cannonball asks if America is worth fighting for.

RECONCILIATION BILL PASSES IN CONGRESS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Germany: Dissent is mounting following a wave of assaults at public swimming pools throughout the nation. Following the assault of 8x children by Syrian immigrants last week, German authorities have implemented a nationwide media campaign to educate immigrants to the idea that it is not acceptable to assault children.Continuing the trend of violent attacks, an unidentified assailant conducted an ax attack on a train in Bavaria this morning. 4x people were wounded in the attack. The assailant has not been identified (as is standard policy) however locals who witnessed the attack state that attacker was Syrian, however this has not been confirmed yet.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Despite the recent ruling from the US Supreme Court regarding the judgements of lower courts, a federal judge (Judge Brian Cogan) has blocked the White House's efforts to remove the Temporary Protection Status (TPS) from roughly 500,000 Haitian migrants. Separately, a different judge (Judge Randolph Moss) ruled against President Trump's order to increase scrutiny on those seeking political asylum in the United States from Mexico.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Congress, controversy continues regarding the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB). Following last-minute political deals, filibusters, and various political moves, the bill was passed in the House today and is expected to be on President Trump's desk for signature tomorrow. Considering this bill's long history, being introduced in the House, sent to the Senate where changes were made, and then sent back to the House, it will probably be some time before the true contents of the omnibus bill are examined closely. Most of the political pork added to the bill to pretend to appease voters in the House was immediately stripped by the Senate, and further changes were made once the bill landed back in the House.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Tommy and Ben lament Trump's travesty of a spending bill and the death of USAID, and how both will cost lives and further tank America's global reputation. They unpack the fallout from Israel and the US's strikes on Iran, the bizarre delusions and marginalization of Tulsi Gabbard, and the ending of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians. They also discuss Trump's interference in Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial, the latest horrors in Gaza, shocking settler violence in the West Bank, and anti-Israel speech at the UK's Glastonbury Festival. Also covered: new fighting between Ukraine and an emboldened Russia, Trump's shaky ceasefire and resource-grab masquerading as a “peace deal” between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, and a triumphant pride parade in Budapest. Finally, they plan a trip to the world's next top spring break destination: Wonsan Kalma, North Korea.

This Day in Legal History: Night of the Long Knives EndsOn July 2, 1934, the Night of the Long Knives officially ended, marking one of the most chilling examples of how legal systems can be manipulated to legitimize authoritarian violence. Over the course of several days, Adolf Hitler ordered a purge within his own Nazi Party, targeting the Sturmabteilung (SA) and its leader Ernst Röhm, whom he saw as a threat to his consolidation of power. The executions, carried out primarily by the SS, claimed over 150 lives—many without trial or due process. While it was essentially a mass political assassination campaign, Hitler framed the violence as a necessary defense of the German state.What made the purge particularly sinister was how it was later codified. On July 3, 1934, the Nazi-controlled cabinet passed a law retroactively legalizing the murders, declaring them acts of state necessity. This not only provided immunity for the perpetrators but also cloaked state violence in the veneer of legality. The judiciary, already aligned with or cowed by the Nazi regime, did not challenge the legality of the purge. Instead, they accepted the new norm that the Führer's word had the force of law.The Night of the Long Knives exemplifies a central danger in legal history: when the rule of law is subordinated to the rule of one. Under Nazi rule, laws were not instruments of justice, but tools for enforcing ideological purity and eliminating dissent. This episode remains a stark warning of how legal frameworks can be bent—or entirely rewritten—to serve totalitarian ends.A federal judge in Brooklyn blocked the Trump administration's attempt to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 521,000 Haitian immigrants before the program's scheduled expiration in February 2026. The Department of Homeland Security had moved to terminate the protections early, citing an August 3 end date later revised to September 2. However, Judge Brian Cogan ruled that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem acted unlawfully by bypassing statutory procedures and lacking the authority to partially vacate Haiti's TPS designation. He emphasized that the interests of Haitian immigrants in maintaining lawful status and employment in the U.S. far outweighed any claimed governmental harm. The ruling noted that the administration remains free to end TPS, but only in accordance with congressional mandates. The plaintiffs, including Haitian TPS holders, churches, and a labor union, argued that Noem's actions were both procedurally flawed and racially motivated. Haiti's ongoing crisis—marked by extreme gang violence and instability—was a central factor in the court's decision. DHS responded by defending the decision to terminate TPS, stating it was never meant to function as de facto asylum, and pledged to appeal. The case underscores the legal limits on executive authority in immigration policy and reflects broader resistance to Trump's hardline stance, including similar efforts to rescind TPS for other nationalities.US judge blocks Trump from ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians | ReutersIn a shameful capitulation to the Trump administration, the University of Pennsylvania has agreed to disavow its past adherence to NCAA rules allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports. As part of a settlement with the U.S. Department of Education under Title IX, Penn will publicly apologize for permitting swimmer Lia Thomas and others to compete and will retroactively erase records and titles won by transgender athletes. The university, under federal investigation since April, has also committed to reaffirming support for Trump-era executive orders that narrowly define sex in women's athletics. Penn President J. Larry Jameson attempted to deflect responsibility, noting that the school had simply followed then-valid national athletic regulations, but still conceded that some students may have been "disadvantaged." The Education Department's announcement, echoing transphobic language, framed the agreement as a victory for “protecting women” from “gender ideology extremism.” While Penn did not confirm, the deal appears tied to the reinstatement of $175 million in federal funding Trump had suspended in March. This decision, cheered by some as protecting competitive fairness, is seen by LGBTQ advocates as a rollback of rights and a politically motivated attack on a small and vulnerable population.University of Pennsylvania reaches compliance deal with Trump administration on transgender athletes | ReutersA federal judge has ruled that judges are public officials for the purposes of defamation law, meaning they must meet the higher "actual malice" standard to successfully sue for reputational harm. U.S. District Judge Roy Altman in Florida dismissed a lawsuit filed by fellow federal judge Frederic Block, who had accused former members of his Florida condo association's board of defaming him by implying he was a computer hacker. The case centered on a 2020 email that warned residents about privacy and security issues after Block sent a mass message criticizing renovation delays. Block claimed the email suggested he had engaged in criminal conduct, but Altman found no evidence the board acted with actual malice or knowingly spread false information. Altman acknowledged this was likely the first court decision directly applying the "public official" defamation standard to appointed federal judges, but reasoned that the role's public influence and responsibilities justify such a designation. The ruling effectively ends Block's suit, reinforcing the principle that public officials—judges included—must tolerate broader public criticism under the First Amendment.Federal judges are public officials for defamation purposes, judge rules | ReutersNearly half a million graduate students could lose access to significant federal financial aid if President Trump's proposed tax-and-spending bill becomes law. The measure would eliminate the Grad PLUS loan program, which since 2006 has allowed grad students to borrow up to the full cost of attendance beyond other aid. The average loan through this program last year was about $32,000, and its removal would hit low-income and minority students hardest, many of whom attend minority-serving institutions. While proponents argue the move would curb tuition inflation and reduce federal spending—saving an estimated $40.6 billion by 2034—critics say it would force students to turn to private lenders, many of whom impose higher interest rates and stricter borrowing requirements. The bill passed the Senate 51–50 with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, and is now back in the House. Under the plan, current users of Grad PLUS loans would retain limited access until 2029 or until they finish their programs. The bill would also impose new aggregate limits on other federal graduate loans—$100,000 for master's students and $200,000 for professional students like those in law or medicine—raising concerns that many will be priced out of advanced degrees.Grad Students Face Loss of Major Loan Under ‘Big Beautiful Bill' This is a public episode.

"Frantz Derenoncourt, Jr. was born in Brooklyn, NY, to Haitian immigrants. He attended Virginia State University, where he majored in business management, and later moved to Washington, DC, in 1998 to pursue a successful career in real estate sales, becoming a top agent in the DC metropolitan area. In 2015, recognizing a need to highlight the contributions of Haitians, Frantz founded Thorobred Books, an independent publishing company. Through this venture, he has published six books focused on the rich history of Haiti, including his widely popular first book, Haiti: The First Black Republic, which has maintained a top spot on Amazon for years."

Today's Headlines: Trump's budget bill advanced in the Senate with a narrow 51-49 vote, cutting $1 trillion from Medicaid and handing massive tax breaks to the wealthy while adding $3 trillion to the national debt. Two Republicans voted no, and the final vote was delayed as Democrats forced a reading of the 940-page bill. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court ruled that parents can pull kids from public school over LGBTQ content and narrowed lower courts' power to block Trump's executive orders. A Honduran mother is suing ICE after she and her two kids—one of whom has leukemia—were detained during an asylum court date. DHS also announced the end of Temporary Protected Status for over 300,000 Haitians, forcing them to leave by September. Iran's top cleric issued a fatwa calling for the deaths of Trump and Netanyahu. At a Senate hearing, the U.S. military admitted it never used bunker-busting bombs in Iran strikes, contradicting Trump's “total obliteration” claims. Trump abruptly ended trade talks with Canada over its digital services tax, prompting Canadian retaliation. Consumer spending and income both dropped in May, sparking recession concerns. Miami postponed its November election by a year, extending current officials' terms—likely illegally. The University of Virginia's president resigned under Trump administration pressure over DEI efforts.

Michele Cintron: The Latina-Haitian Powerhouse Teaching You How to Own Your Finances **

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Woodlin Lareche, a young Haitian-American physical therapist who shares how his passion for healing was sparked by one provider's empathy and how that moment fueled a mission bigger than himself. He opens up about being the only Black student in his PT cohort, navigating burnout, financial stress, and the mental load of underrepresentation in healthcare. But with unwavering support from his faith, family, and fiancée, (now wife) he pushed through and reconnected with his "why."We explore how cultural legacy, particularly in Haitian households, shapes our educational pursuits, and how honoring sacrifices made by immigrant parents can be a powerful source of motivation. He reflects on his mom's academic journey, his upbringing as a pastor's kid, and the impact of growing up in a positive church environment.The conversation also dives into navigating relationships in high-demand careers. He and his fiancée, (now wife) both in medicine, share how intentionality, mutual respect, and spiritual alignment helped them grow, not apart, but together.This episode is for anyone wrestling with purpose, navigating the weight of being “the first,” or seeking to balance ambition with love and identity. A raw and inspiring listen about commitment to your calling, your community, and the people who stand beside you through it all.Subscribe and Review:Enjoyed the show?

Satire. We rundown the nepo baby influenced NBA draft and the we talk about Trump vs Haitian TPS status.

Henry Christophe was a Haitian revolutionary leader and patriot who fought in the Battle of Savannah against the British. He rose through the ranks of the French Army to become a General. Then went on to be President and subsequently King of the State of Haiti.

The Trump administration announced Friday that starting on Sept. 2, Haitians cannot remain in the U.S. under temporary protected status. It’s part of a broader change by the administration to revoke legal protections for citizens of several countries, including Venezuela. Many Venezuelan migrants ended up in Chicago, where special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports about a community on edge. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

//The Wire//2300Z June 27, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: SCOTUS SIDES WITH TRUMP ON LOWER COURTS ISSUING BLANKET RULINGS. PROTESTS IN EUROPE CONTINUE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Various demonstrations and protests continue as usual. In Poland, demonstrations were conducted today regarding the migrant crisis, with Poles expressing dissatisfaction with the deportation of migrants to their country.Yesterday a small protest was reported in Ljubljana, Slovenia, following the NATO summit this week. This summit largely did not discuss much of any importance, with the exception of again urging member states to pledge 5% of their defense budget to NATO's collective defense. AC: Demonstrations in eastern European nations often end up being a good barometer for gauging how the east/west dynamic is developing. This time, Slovenians protested against NATO and the United States for a variety of reasons, but mostly due to the recent activities in the Middle East.Middle East: Tensions in Gaza have increased following a report from Israeli media claiming that IDF soldiers were ordered to target civilians seeking food aid. In the report, interviewed IDF soldiers explained the long-standing practices regarding the targeting of civilians, such as the practice of shooting civilians "who appeared to pose no threat".AC: The Israeli Military Advocate General has also ordered an internal investigation into these targeting efforts, and several nations have issued statements of condemnation regarding this practice. These reports come after months of complaints from international aid groups being kinetically targeted throughout the region.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This morning the US Supreme Court issued a few rulings of note. SCOTUS ruled in favor of President Trump concerning his lawsuit to prevent activist judges from exceeding their jurisdictions to issue rulings more broad than the initial scope of the initial lawsuit. In effect, this means that President Trump's executive order to ban birthright citizenship for illegals and for those on temporary visas is in effect.Similarly, this morning the White House announced that they will be terminating the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of roughly 500,000 Haitian nationals, continuing the efforts from a few months ago to halt/slow immigration from Haiti under humanitarian programs.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The SCOTUS did not address the merits of Trump's birthright citizenship Executive Order itself; this judgement only re-affirmed the long-standing policy of preventing judges from issuing judgements outside their jurisdiction. However, the follow-on effects of this judgement will be interesting to follow as this affects a few hot-button issues that is currently at the heart of American discourse (most notably immigration-related issues).Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Send us a textThe journey from frontline nurse to respected healthcare leader rarely follows a straight path. Nicole Dieudonne's story—spanning 37 years in nursing with 30+ years in leadership positions—proves that sometimes the most powerful leadership emerges from unexpected beginnings.As a Bahamian American of Haitian and Cuban descent who became a teenage mother, Nicole's multicultural perspective infuses her approach to healthcare leadership. What began as simply "choosing something" blossomed into a passionate career where she discovered her gift for compassionate leadership. Her framework, aptly named "The Compassionate Leadership Circle," centers on creating psychological safety, practicing empathy, and—perhaps most revolutionary—prioritizing leader wellbeing.Nicole identifies the healthcare industry's critical blind spot: while organizations invest heavily in patient experience metrics, they often neglect investing in their leaders' development and resilience. This oversight creates a troubling disconnect, as these same leaders manage multimillion-dollar budgets, oversee thousands of staff members, and directly impact patient care quality through their leadership decisions. Her insight that "when we take care of ourselves better as leaders, we're more compassionate with employees, which translates to better patient care" reveals the powerful ripple effect of leadership wellbeing.Now pivoting toward consulting after decades in operational leadership, Nicole offers transformative advice for healthcare leaders feeling stuck: "Push the pause button. Ask yourself: Why am I stuck? What do I need to learn? How do I show up differently?" This reflective practice ensures that when you return, "the better version of you shows up"—a simple yet profound reframing that empowers leaders to reconsider their purpose and impact.Nicole's definition of legacy transcends titles or achievements, focusing instead on showing up with intention, honesty, and trust. Her commitment to practicing unconditional love in the workplace—separating people from their actions when addressing challenges—creates the psychological safety necessary for innovation and growth in today's complex healthcare environment.Connect with Nicole on LinkedIn to follow her journey in nursing leadership and learn how nurturing difference and exuding change can transform healthcare from the inside out.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

The Bay Area is home to thousands of Haitians. In this segment of our Diaspora stories, Crosscurrents host, Hana Baba went to visit one whose restaurant was  named one of the tastiest restaurants in the Bay Area by the SF Chronicle.

Pastor Stevenson Noel heads a community church in the North Bay, and estimates about 5000 Haitians living in the Bay Area. He says his congregation is living in fear and confusion.

Today we'll meet the Haitian pastor trying to advise his flock in these uncertain times. Then Oakland's first Haitian restaurant serves up some hearty, braised goodness. And, a multicultural choir comes together to sing classical Arabic music.

Today I speak with Gabrielle Apollon and Pooja Bhatia about the histories behind the persecution of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, and beyond. Targeted as exemplary “bad people” by demagogue Donald Trump, the stories of both the town and the people of Springfield are brought forward by Pooja Bhatia, who lived both in Haiti and as a journalist lived with the people in Springfield.  Complementing Bhatia's local stories of migrants, we have Gabrielle Apollon of the Global Justice Clinic, who tells of the complex “push” factors that drive Haitians from their homeland. We end on a hopeful note—showing how instances of transnational solidarity have succeeded where governments and international governmental bodies have failed.For more information on this topic, please check out our blog.Gabrielle Apollon is the Director of the Haitian Immigrant Rights project at NYU Law's Global Justice Clinic. She also coordinates the Hemispheric Network for Haitian Migrants' Rights, a coalition of Haitian activists, lawyers, and leaders, collaborating to combat the anti-Black racism, exclusion and cyclical displacement Haitians have faced as they've migrated throughout the Western Hemisphere. Gabrielle previously served as Managing Attorney at The Door: A Center for Alternatives, where she represented young people in immigration and family law matters. She holds a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of International Affairs from Columbia University, as well as a law degree from NYU School of Law.Pooja Bhatia is an U.S. writer, editor and teacher who has reported on Haiti and Haitian immigrants for more than 15 years. She lived in Haiti from 2007 to 2011 and speaks Kreyòl. Her work has been published in a variety of outlets, including The London Review of Books, The Baffler, The New York Review of Books, The New York Times and The Economist, where she was Haiti correspondent from 2010-2013. A former human rights lawyer, Pooja teaches with the University Network for Human Rights, and is working on a novel.

This week, the Good Moms are joined by comedian, and host of "Jess A Couple Things" podcast, Jessie Woo for a layered conversation on family, culture, ambition, and accountability. From growing up as the oldest daughter in a strict Haitian household to finding her voice in the entertainment industry. The three chat about everything from mother wounds and cultural silence to anime porn, and Jessie's "crush" on Morgan Freeman
