Another huge American WTF moment

0 Unending lynchings of black people in the South.

0 Trail of Tears.

0 Wounded Knee.

0 Interring Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor.

0 McCarthy's "communist hunts" of the 50s

0 Selma Alabama.

0 Lying America into Vietnam and Iraq.

And so, so much more government criminality.

Now, a demented president and his enablers are shredding families at the Mexican border. Separating children from parents, sibling from sibling. This can only be defined as: Pure. Fucking. Evil.

Even if there's a "Blue Wave," the Democrats wouldn't be in control of a part of government until next January.

These families can't wait until next January. They are being terrorized by people who are intentionally inflicting a horrible, cruel nightmare upon them. Every moment of their lives have become unbearable fear and pain.

This must stop. Now.

We are approaching a point where we can't let ourselves become "good Germans."

I would suggest everyone contact their senators and representatives if they haven't already. Also, I wrote the editors of my local paper.

some of these families will spend many years searching for each other.

And, the total horror and inhumanity, is that some will never again be reunited.

"We are approaching a point where we can't let ourselves become "good Germans."

This is the bottom line of my list.

You have "the other list"? Post it.
