Thinking about tents...

They’re putting up tents to house children forcibly separated from their parents. There’s a better alternative. First, stop separating those families.

Then, take all those tents to D.C., and use them to house everyone who needs to be willingly or otherwise separated from the misbegotten Trump maladministration. The list includes Trump, Pence, Sessions, Jared, Ivanka, Sarah, Steve, Kellyanne, Mulvaney, Pruitt, Mnuchin, Zinke, DeVos, Ross, Carson, Perry, Nielsen, Pai . . . you get the idea.

Complicit abettors also get tented, starting with McConnell and Ryan and pretty much every Republican member of the House and Senate who have either propped up this horrible mockery of a presidency or remained conspicuously silent about it. And there needs to be a special tent for those officers and agents who clearly enjoy ripping families apart, with a special space reserved for the one who grabbed a nursing infant.

Yeah, it’s just a dream. But damned if it isn’t decidedly more palatable than our present reality. They’re working hard to tear our country apart. We need to be working twice as hard to hold on to what’s left in order to have a foundation for putting it back together. This country started as a dream of freedom. It’s up to us to reclaim it from the nightmare.

And we don’t have to wait until November.
