I can't process this madness - these are crimes against humanity at any age but good effin' grief these are children. This is a public display of racism on steroids.
Why is the world tolerating this? Why are we?

What do I do? I don't know.

I did become involved with a non-profit group called RAICES. They've been around several decades and they're helping the refugees at the border. It helps me to help them.

I am your sister.........from another mother.

folks who profess to follow the teachings of the man who said: "Suffer the little children to come into me" and "It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones".

Personally, I think that millstone idea is great.

They believe in nothing except power, money and controlling women and minorities. To be kind, they are racist monsters

and NO FUTURE president should work with them or let them off the hook.

They need to be prosecuted, all who commited crimes and not just the border stuff but all crimes and if you support rump you are an accessory and guilty.

Thankfully New Mexico is a blue state although a bunch of Trumpy self appointed militia assholes were detaining people for a while they’ve been sent packing by the state courts. All my representatives responded and they’re fighting Trump.

I also give a monthly donation to the ACLU who are working hard on this Trump clusterfuck.

21. Brazil's Bolsonaro and Argentina's Macri have proposed similar concentration camp-like measures

Both countries - particularly Argentina - have longstanding trends of undocumented migration from poorer, neighboring countries (Paraguay, Peru, and Bolivia), and both Macri and Bolsonazi have been trying to weaponize the issue - especially Macri.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/110852547

The reactions in other countries in the region vary from condemnation in Evo Morales' and López Obrador's cases, to silence for the most part among the rest.

I don't blame them. They know Cheeto's a violent sociopath, and they don't want any more problems than they already have.

Where are all the so-called Christians - apparently their Christianity doesn't go this far. Why aren't all the people that know this is so wrong, protesting or doing something - anything about it? How can they sleep at night? How come they claim to be Christians and yet are doing absolutely nothing!!! And.....I am talking about the media, too. DJT has said and done all kinds of hateful, disgusting things and the media totally ignores it or makes light of all the claims against him.

but they are used to fly overseas to help OTHER countries. Maybe if enough donations are given to him (yeah, money talks) he would find it in his heart to help these kids right here at the border? Wait, he is a big fan of tRump and considers Maleria to be the most refined Forst Laydee - ever! Refined women do not pose nude, in lesbian porn, Franklin.

Apparently truly are incapable of unconditional love or equanimity of the soul, and any claims they can make of this period of history being unlike early Nazi regime days are delusional.

Well, I have the one, and the attendant article.

I am not linking to this via a simple click as some may find it too graphic and upsetting.

It's the border crossing drowning tragedy reported by the AP several hours ago.

hxxps://apnews.com/2f8422c820104d6eaad9b73d939063a9

I found it infuriating and motivating to do more. It is also saddening and tragic.

Note: Simply replace the "xx" with "tt" to make it work.

Hell if Hong Kongers can do it......

But no... everybody who could, goes to work, goes to the beach, plays baseball (which I love), cooks dinner, same ole same ole.

We have a small group where I live that rotates demonstrating with signs on a corner during the local 'rush hour.'

Malaise, there WILL BE violence at some point. I don't know what will be the match. but I suspect it could involve something on the right egging on something on the left... you get my point...
