Weep for a minute and then get angrier than you have ever been



Just look at that wee lad. Such a cute wee boy who DIED at the hands of the right wing insanity that has taken hold. Look at him and think if he was your child, or grandchild and start spitting fury. I wonder if his parents even know he is dead.

I know I am ranting at the righteous and true, but I need to rant about this. So sorry BUT this breaks my heart and it fills me with outrage.

Outrage that people could vote those that allow this into power
Outrage for those who excuse it.
Outrage for those who stand by and do nothing to stop it.

That wee boy is dead at the hands of this nazi fuckers wet dreams of dominance, at the hands of nasty racist rhetoric born into reality, at the hands of those who work within this system, those 'i am just taking orders' brown shirts of another era.

DEAD and excused by those supporters of racist fascist wankers... if the parents has just followed the rules... it is all their fault...apologists for murder of children on the border.

I am outraged. Look at that wee boy. He was a baby and he is dead.

Sorry chaps. Rant over.

We do not need a war crimes tribunal. Crimes against humanity are not bound by wartime acts alone. He should be on trial...

we have to find a way to weed out the 1-in-3 who WANT to commit these crimes.

In WWII, we knew what to do with Nazis.

The world, represented by the U.N., doesn't want to do anything especially now that Trump is in office.

They know that Trump and his Merry Minions in the U.S. Senate would throw the U.N. out of the U.S.
Trump would buy the building, on the cheap, and convert it into one of his hotels.......LOL

From the article:

"According to family members, Wilmer's mother traveled with Wilmer to the U.S. because he was severely sick and it was impossible to pay for health care in Guatemala."

I understand that this child was hospitalized in the US. It looks like his condition was too severe to save him.

what were the circumstances that led to this boy’s death? What is going on at the border is horrific, but I would caution that we don’t attribute every tragic outcome to the treatment (or lack thereof) given to them. To do so hurts the credibility of reports of what is going on there.

The bodies of Salvadoran migrant Oscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his nearly 2-year-old daughter Valeria lie on the bank of the Rio Grande in Matamoros, Mexico, Monday, June 24, 2019, after they drowned trying to cross the river to Brownsville, Texas. Martinez' wife, Tania told Mexican authorities she watched her husband and child disappear in the strong current.

photos and or video of the actual conditions the children are being kept in would help her press the Repugnants into supporting stopping this.
Until that happens do not expect much to change any time soon.

What a tragedy!!! I have never in my lifetime seen such disregard for human life. People that are in the position to really do something great for humanity have failed us completely. It is so disgusting and outrageous. All of them that are elected and know about this outrage and do nothing about it should be put before a firing squad for crimes against humanity!! To say I am mad is putting it mildlly!! We elect people to government positions and expect them to do the right thing and we have been so betrayed.

And I asked him to vote for the bill currently up for consideration in the House. It's a $4.5 billion aid package to address the migrant surge on the border. They are adding language to mandate better health and nutrition standards at the facilities.

I called them "concentration camps" too.

Make calls to your congresscritters too!!

And when it goes to the Senate, make sure they pass it along to The Orange One.

I DARE him to veto it!

The morning of November 9th, 2016, I got nauseated to hear what happened overnight.
I had the feeling that horrible consequences of that fateful debacle of an "election" would be disastrous.
But it's worse than I ever expected.
MAGA's are Nazi's reincarnated, a soulless, insane mob.

intermittent tears and anger have been my constant campanion for 2+ years (politically as well as personal)

I cry for the families at the border and all who suffer … and just this year my partner and I have had one son die and another in recent accident with TBI... we are angry and have much empathy for those suffering

In reality, it's never been about the sanctity of life, as their callous disregard for the hideous abuses and deaths of children in their concentration camps demonstrates.
