Let’s check in on what Trump is doing in the name of the American people.
Propublica released audio of children screaming and crying after they were separated from their immigrant parents by Trump and Sessions’ draconian “zero tolerance” policy. Listen to it here, it’s absolutely heartbreaking.
Instead of being swayed by the cries of separated children and photos of their plight, the Trump administration is digging in their heels, and continue to blame anyone (read: especially Democrats) except the one person who created the policy and can stop it instantly: Donald Trump.
At yesterday’s press briefing (that Sarah Huckabee Sanders was too chickenshit to attend), Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen unsuccessfully tried to defend the policy and actually called the kids “alien children.” A reporter played the audio of children screaming after being separated from their parents—which had no visible effect on these monsters.
ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER: While Trump and Sessions definitely put this policy to work, the chief architect of the plan is White House hardliner Stephen Miller who is a virulent white nationalist and keeps a low profile while whispering his racist views in the president’s ear.
Only 27 percent of Americans support Trump’s child imprisonment policy (even Bill O’Reilly is against it). So guess who’s into this particularly cruel form of child abuse? REPUBLICANS by 55 percent.
While the White House is pretty good at separating children, they don’t have a plan in place for reuniting the kids with their parents—especially now since the detainment facilities are overflowing, which means the government is now building tent cities to house the children.
There’s going to be a march on Washington, DC (as well as marches all over the country) to protest and hopefully end Trump’s “child separation” policy on JUNE 30TH. Stay tuned for more information on that.
Besides being a humanitarian disaster, we are going to be paying for and fixing Trump’s colossal, racist fuck-up for a LONG time to come. Here are what people on Twitter are saying about it.
DHS Sec. Nielsen’s record of misleading statements – including yesterday’s denial that the Administration even had a policy of separating children at the border – are disqualifying. She should resign immediately.

The wanna be dictator and liar in chief (traitor, criminal, human rights violator) who is allowing children to be stolen and disappeared from the border needs to be held accountable for these war crimes being committed, these human rights violations being committed on United States soil during a time of so-called peace.
First course of action is for Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to resign.
Second course of action is for U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions to be impeached, indicted, disbarred, and imprisoned.
The world is watching. If you believe we will not be held accountable for not stopping the crimes being committed and the lives being destroyed, you are mistaken.
The Nazis were brought to heel and so, too, does this administration need to be. (The Nazis, though, kept impeccable records on every life they took – this administration is just ripping children from their parents, recording ZERO information, and disappearing the children while deporting the parents. Where are the children? Are they being abused? Sold? Killed? No one knows, because they aren’t allowing anyone to see and they aren’t keeping any records.
How many lives will be lost?
How many children will have been stolen, disappeared, trafficked, or murdered before it’s over?
How many people will have been harmed before it ends?
DONALD TRUMP IS NOT A DICTATOR. HE IS A TRAITOR AND A LIAR AND CERTAINLY NOT A FUNCTIONING OR COMPETENT LEADER OF THIS COUNTRY. HIS ORDERS CONSTITUTE WAR CRIMES AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS DURING SO-CALLED PEACE TIME ON UNITED STATES SOIL.
Anyone who thinks this is okay and is not doing something on a daily basis to bring attention to it and to fight it, is complicit. Everyone against this insanity needs to be making noise every single day to as many different people (representatives) and organizations as possible to end it.
Trump needs to be taken down like the dictator he thinks he is – just like Gaddafi, Hussein, Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot, etc.
Realistic!
