This child died next to a toilet, alone, in a Border Patrol facility.

There should have been high-level firings over this, but there were none. Not even a statement of remorse from the president, because he felt none.

We are a disgrace.

This should be shocking but of course by this point it is not. Which is scary, this is how nasty shit gets normalised...

Certain people need to go to prison for decades over this. It is state-sanctioned murder.

We have an orange psychopath and his Slovenian sex worker running our federal government.

This is what our uber rich American capitalist kings wanted for our country. Thanks Koch bros. Thanks Google billionaires. Thanks Bezos and Zucherberg. Thanks Bill Gates. Thanks Waltons. But most of all thanks tiny little man Putin for the big fat man, his psychotic behavior and "I don't really care. Do U?" sex worker from Slovenia.

This is the world the rich man wants.
