separated from her mother in sheer terror I have no doubt!

These hates never go away.

To use TERROR against these poor CHILDREN!

Where are the PRO-LIFE people? Where are the EVANGELICAL churches?? Where is the GOP that so proudly proclaim their fake damn patriotism and family values??

They all sold their souls to the DEVIL AKA...Donald J. Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know...I've seen the Trump propaganda video.

That was mentioned on one of the shows yesterday - the personnel that are guarding these children are not allowed to touch them or give them comfort in any way.

On one level I am relieved that they cannot touch them - that may reduce child abuse - but children this young need a comforting hand sometimes. This will scar these children forever.

Boy, that thing in the White House will do ANYTHING to get that freaking wall. Where will it end? Ready to rise up fellow DU'ers?

Welcome to DU!

It's only misleading vulnerable people and is a lie.

It seems Lady Liberty is a cruel joke under fuhrer Trump.

Has anyone checked to see if she is here legally?

We need to fight, so that her words ring true again.

Better start to turn around pretty soon... For each incident on the Border the US gains around a 100 generational enemies.

thoughts of despair, terror and suicide.

A man has already killed himself in custody after ICE snatched his baby out of his arms and separated them.

today will get lots of publicity. hope hope hope

and let the American public get a good look at the fascist child abusers that are acting in our name!

And now she's probably curled up in a corner without her mommy, without anyone to hold her and tell her it's going to be OK.

It WONT be ok. That makes it all the more imperative that yeah, a parent be there to offer warmth an comfort.

Hey Deplorables: had it ever occurred to your dense skulls, that America was more like America used to be (you know, back in the day when we actually CARED about Others) WHEN THE BLACK MAN WAS PRESIDENT?

I'll forgive your dumb redneck asses for not understanding the meaning of the phrase Orange is the new Black. But not to worry. Your GodEmperor will be fitted with an orange jumpsuit soon enough. And when it happens, we will see how fast snowflakes can melt, and we Americans that don't get our rocks off on abject torture and hatred will NEVER LET YOU LIVE IT DOWN. YOU WILL OWN THIS FOR THE AGES. SO BE PROUD NOW, MOTHERFUCKERS...SO WE CAN ALWAYS KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

but someone needs to offer comfort to those little ones anyway. Sadly, they won't get it and they most likely won't get back to their parents until after he's gone.

The pictures will remind everyone trump and the gop are nothing but child abusers allowing this to keep happening now. Kimmel I saw humiliated Cruz about these children during his basketball match. Cruz is another one doing nothing to stop this. The Nov. elections will only worsen for trump and the gop every day they allow this to continue.

Lulu Garcia Navarro interviewed John Moore, the Getty photographer who took the picture. He's been covering the border for over ten years and he almost started crying when he talked about it.

of what the entrance gates to Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Bergen-Belsen, Chelmno, Buchenwald, Dachau, Treblinka and the other 60 or so concentration-extermination camps of the Hitler regime. Now the trump regime is building concentration camps for brown skinned people. The BP holding that woman with child reminds me of what the nazis must have been like. That crying child truly breaks my heart. I hate this potus. What a DEPLORABLE POS.

Just remember, please: First they came for the Muslim immigrants, I did not speak out, I wasn't muslim
Then they came for the Hispanic immigrants, I did not speak out, I wasn't Hispanic
Then they came for the seniors, the Medicaid and Medicare recipients, I did not speak out, I wasn't yet a senior
citizen
Then they came for the gays, I did not speak out, I was not gay.
Then they came for the left wing intellectuals
Then they came for the left wing activists
Then the came for the left wing teachers and professionals
Then they came for me and all brown skinned people and there
was no one left to speak for us.

Rather a crude attempt to remind all good Americans of the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemoller in Hitler's Germany. He supported Hitler's rise to power and then became disillusioned.

Just my fears about this current trump/GOP regime showing .

At the very least, can’t he be charged with
Terrorism?

she is dropped off for school or at daycare. She will always be wondering how long she will be separated from her mother. My guess is eventually she will be on an anti-anxiety drug because of this traumatic episode in her life.

The American Academy of Pediatrics is right: these events can cause permanent damage.

Don't even try to deny it

When a human leaves the house, a dog always thinks they will never return. Now this beautiful child will feel the same way, thanks to the President of the United States of America.

IMO

…if and only if she's reunited with her mother STAT. But she is already scarred and traumatized no matter what.

She's so terrified and lost.

The ACLU—or Child Protective Services—Somebody, needs to sue for child abuse. STAT.

We put people in jail for putting they own children in cages. The Trump government is now a criminal, serial, abuser. How can this be allowed for another minute?

Texas state representative and U. S. Senate candidate, Beto O'Rourke and Texas gubernatorial candidate, Lupe Valdez are leading a march to a children's concentration camp in Tornillo, Texas, today, on Father's Day, to shine a light on this atrocity. Let's light up the phones at every congressional office, federal and state, as well as our mainstream media outlets. It's time to make our voices heard and loudly! We can't let these fascists win.

burning suns.

Or we all are complicit.

whatever the fuck that means anymore.

Congress and the Dept. of Justice must somehow be held accountable for this spate of horror. These actions surely must be seen as cruel and unusual punishment under some statutory or regulatory provision....

I'm sick to my stomach on my Father's Day over this insanity. Some of my fondest memories of my daughter was when she was around the age of that little girl.

.......

ever change their inherent hate, racism and bigotry. Luckily we out number them.

be nreached.... lets hope so.

Ive not yet heard the propaganda spin on how this is the fault of "libs" but Im sure its coming.

Separation...the attempt to deflect is rule one in the propaganda world. The so-called mystery "law"...that no trump/supporter has identified

of the one taken right after the Kent State shootings when the young girl was on her knees in anguish over the dead body lying on the ground.

Pulitzer Prize material?

This one photo of this little girl crying says so much. As heartbreaking as it is it's hard to take your eyes off it.

Defines the cruelty of the Trump era.

But for now, for God's sake, let this sweet child feel her Mother's arms around her once again.

heart and still have normal range of feelings and emotion can be reached and act to change things. Much like it took the parkland students expressing their pain/grief for many of us to break thru our numbness & sense of futility to get us to act. And going back further - having our high school classmates getting killed in Vietnam and that one horrific pic of the young Vietnamese girl who had gotten napalmed. Without emotion/passion/conviction, I dont know if things change.

You start messing with children ..the protective urge in a normal person kicks in mighty fierce. I can only hope that these instincts still exist in the majority of American people .....

Why do they do this? These people have NOTHING, no home, no water or food, nothing.

That's why ICE takes their shoelaces.

What an awful policy.

These border agents must have ice cold veins.

This little girl is the same age as my granddaughter. This is breaking my heart this morning. I didn't think I could hate that piece of shit squatting in our White House any more but now I do. How much media play is this picture getting on the mainstream channels? None. Oh that's right. They're too busy focusing on Beyonce and Jay-Z this morning which is soooooo much more important.

I'm just sick of Republicans - all of them.

They even have this atrocity on the wall in the children's prison:



No american would ever be associated with, let along work in, a place with this on the wall.

My wife never gets political, except with close family and close friends (and not even all of them, believe me), but this particular outrage has hit very close to home. (She does have strong liberal values and definite opinions, though)

To start with, her daughter has two Puerto Rican-fathered daughters, and an AA partner, who has a daughter of his own.

Add to that almost 30 years of advocating for and nurturing children and families at the Boys And Girls Club where she worked virtually every job from unpaid intern to Director. She is absolutely beside herself over this.

or waiting for some Right Wing shill like Roger Stone to play the crisis actor card.

I think Pontius Pilate had something to say about children and their mothers... Something along the lines of how it's not Kosher to kill a mother and her children on the same day. So, even he, isn't any help for these thugs.

This is what cruelty looks like. This is what terrorizing a small child looks like.

And this act, multiplied 2000x, is being done in our name, on our soil.

This will be the iconic image of what went on in the summer of 2018. This is going on now with the approval of the Republican Party, the "family values" party.

There is no excuse. Only shame.

Never forget, never forgive

That kid deserves better. Fuck the god damn fucking piece of shit republicans and MAGAholes!
