The cages were installed outside of media organizations' Manhattan and Brooklyn offices (including Vice, Newsweek, and Refinery 29) as well as outside of cultural institutions (The Natural History Museum), and key intersection points, such as Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center, and Union Square. The demonstration, which is a one-off for now, calls for the passage of the Keep Families Together Bill (HR541) introduced earlier this year, according to Jess Neill, the Director of Strategy at Badger & Winters.

1. GOOD! Bring the whole sordid shameful mess right to their doorstep.

After all, that colossal international disgrace is going on WAAAAAAAAAAAY down at the Mexican border, a thousand miles (or more) away. Outta sight/out of mind dontchaknow.

2. This tweet seems to have captured the attention of NBC, at least

The first response is from someone at NBC asking permission to use the video on NBC's platforms. That's very polite of NBC, but they could also, you know, send a camera operator down to the street and get footage of their own.

I expect to hear very soon an echo of Boss Tweed: "Stop them damn pictures."
