I'm out of "angry". I'm just so sad and tired.

It's a GD leading thread right now. A teacher reported her own students to ICE, or thought she did. And thought her Tweets to Trump were some kind of private communications channel.

It's not really about the story. It's about the fact that I'm just out of angry. I can't even hate this stupid woman. I'm just very very sad. I think about what it must take to get a teacher to inform on her students to ICE, and I just can't.

I'm out of angry. How did we get here? How did we get to a point where a teacher wrote those tweets? What the fuck happened?

Free Speech turned into All Lying Monsters Welcome.

We cared more about appearing mature than about saving democracy.

Who said Gay People Are Not Protected by Domestic Violence Laws Because Their Marriages Aren’t Recognized by God.

It's like it rains down on us every. single. day. How did so many hateful assholes crawl out of the woodwork in the last two years?

ANY emotion focused on him feeds him..... starve the insane wounded child. Give him none of your energy. feel pity for him - because he IS pathetic. He has likely NEVER had a true moment/day of true happiness due to the DEEP wounds he experienced in childhood........ feel PITY.....Feel Pity......


And them let's throw this pitiful joke to the Judicial Branch.... He is a sad and violent child that never figured out how to grow up...... TOO LATE.

He is pathetic and desperate and NOW is dangerous.

in the run up to WWII. Why did people turn in their neighbors, or look the other way as riots and violence replaced justice and the rule of law?

I'm sure the breathless excuses, the convoluted explainations and the twisted rationales are much the same.

And that is my biggest frustration, and I am trying hard to stay patient, but I don't see anything solid coming out from Democrats, and the longer it takes the more difficult it will become.

Now they are taking away English classes, Soccer, to all those kids they have separated from their parents, how much cruelty is coming from this administration, why is it that no one is looking deep into Stephen Miller. I know it is a conspiracy theory, but it has been done before in the USA, and of course by the Nazis, my great fear is that they may be experimenting with these poor kids, and that may be why some have died, how may more have died that we don't know?

My heart aches as I write this.

of kidnapping children, but experimenting on them??? No matter how bad we get as a nation, that type of statement slanders all of us unnecessarily.
I realize we have done that type of thing in the past, but it is not happening in this terrible situation.

This probably wasn’t a huge leap for her; however, we should be horrified by her lack of awareness about how social media works and her disdain for her students.
