I just wept. But weeping is not enough....



We need to show that progressives don't play. We need to storm those walls with congressman and cameras. We need to protest in our thousands. We need to stand up with one voice and shout NO LONGER.

This cannot wait for the blue wave 2020. This has to start NOW.

In Nazi Germany, camps began benign enough to avoid a great deal of public attention. Then, conditions began to change.

As they say, for Trump followers such extreme cruelty "isn't a bug, it's a feature."

I am just filled with rage at this situation and the people who have created it and perpetuate it. This could stop right now if they wanted it to.

They could at least treat these children humanely and decently and give them decent living conditions but they are treating them worse than animals! I just want scream and smash things!

people say "call your congressperson"

I intend to.............

but......... i am furious about feeling the need to do so. I should not have to "call my congressperson" to protest human rights abuses in the USA. Are you fucking kidding me??? This shit should never have been allowed to BEGIN in the first place and after it began when word got out it should have been STOPPED.
