Trump just signed an executive order ending his family separation policy. The alternative they're proposing is indefinite military detention of families. This is not acceptable. This is not over. Feeling despair? Take action. Please share.
1. Donate to RAICES, a nonprofit that provides low-cost legal defense services to immigrant families. Donate directly to the RAICES 'LEAF' Project here. Donate directly to the RAICES Family Reunification and Bond Fund here.
2. Al Otro Lado is a binational border NGO that provides legal services in Tijuana, MX to immigrants who are crossing into or deported out of the U.S. from Mexico. Some of the people they're helping are deportee mothers or fathers whose children have been separated from them, and remain in the United States. Donations here.
3. The Texas Civil Rights Project here says, “We are Texas lawyers for Texas communities, boldly serving the movement for equality and justice in and out of the courts.” Donate.
4. The ACLU rules. They're fighting this. It's what they do. Get involved.

7. Contact your elected officials. Let your Senator or Representative in Congress know how you feel. Contact the office of the President of the United States, which Donald Trump is currently defiling, and register your opposition to his abusive policies.
8. Families Belong Together is organizing events.
9. Donate to ProPublica, the news organization that published the audio of the crying children.
10. Immigrant children forcibly injected with drugs, lawsuit claims. REVEAL News, from the Center for Investigative Reporting, published this story on the forced drugging of detained kids. Read it, if you can bear it. The nonprofit that's suing to help these children is The Center for Human Rights & Constitutional Law. “The Center is a non-profit, public interest legal foundation dedicated to furthering and protecting the civil, constitutional, and human rights of immigrants, refugees, children, prisoners, and the poor.” Support them. Volunteer. Donate.

Will you ever offer anything of substance?


I'm amazed that you made that first statement, and then concluded with that question for me.

I'm putting tesla on ignore. Even posting on the same thread as him makes me wonder if the police will come to my house and arrest me.

Skuj - I quoted ildulco first and my response was directed at him saying the email story was over.

The matter of “substance” directed toward you was about you constantly using Fox News—Trump Tweets as a response to anything I have to say???

I have no clue as to what tesla is referring to???

Never Mind the Children. In Duluth, Trump Celebrates Himself

Quote:

"The élite? Why are they élite?" he began. "I have a much better apartment than they do, I'm smarter than they are, I'm richer than they are."

Actually, no you don't, no you aren't, no you're not. Sad.

"Yet, the practice of incarcerating children in immigrant detention goes back further. Former President Barack Obama, who has been conspicuously silent during the child separation crisis, made family incarceration the mainstay of his response to mass displacement from Central America. Family detention has been condemned by the U.S. government’s own Commission on Civil Rights, as well as Satsuki Ina, a survivor of a Japanese-American internment camp, who compared the practice to her own experience. Since at least 2015, mothers incarcerated with their children have staged protests and hunger strikes within immigrant prisons—and testified to the horrific conditions they have faced."

Note: Obama continued the practice until it was halted by Flores v. Lynch, 828 F.3d 898 (9th Cir. 2016).

Well, like I said before we can do this all day.

The Trumpists keep saying "Obama did exactly the same" and in my readings I see that it was very different indeed.

apparently the torture of children is something that requires a 'balanced debate'

I'll take the don't-torture-children side if you don't mind. Metropolitan liberal elitist that I am.

NPR is making out like the children are being processed into some vague and unknown foster system by HHS and DHS - which is just another way for the kids to get trafficked - this is the worst situation possible, or as bad as the gangs in Honduras that now have free reign forcing your kid into prostitution, thanks to the criminal enterprise that took over the country through a US approved coup, under Obama and while H. Clinton was SecState. We're basically having to pick up their shit now, if this wasn't the plan all along. if these kids even exist!

The Roseanne Barred Show

Oh well! Before their homes are foreclosed by Trump's banking buddies, Trump supporters can forget their entirely preventable troubles with the president's favorite TV show "Roseanne," which is returning to ABC minus Roseanne, her likeness, or creative and financial participation. (Now maybe NBC will return those phone calls regarding my proposed "The Non-Cosby Show.")

The Soup Nazi 06.22.2018 08:42 PM

Look, I don't want the world the blow the fuck up, but this is just hughlaurieous:

Trump officially declares N. Korea still a threat, despite his claim after historic summit

Trump tried to honor victims of crimes by unauthorized immigrants... by signing their portraits
The images were displayed at a "permanent separation" event held by the administration.


At one point during the event, Trump pointed to a photo of someone who had been killed and joked: "Tom Selleck, except better looking."

Skuj 06.22.2018 11:59 PM

That Time cover actually manages to look.....nice.

Does anybody even blink when Trump holds an event during this crisis to basically paint immigrants as bad/evil/wrong? He couldn't have picked a worse time for a political stunt like this.

When will he meet with families of victims of Nationalist White Supremacy groups?

I always knew Tesla was a cunt but I didn't suspect you are one too until I decided to open this thread and read your posts. I wish your kids are taken away from you and you never get to see them again. You are unfunny, insensitive and a piece of shit.

Oh please.

Get off your high horse.

Trump tweeted: ''I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO YOU?' written on the back of Melania's jacket, refers to the Fake News Media. Melania has learned how dishonest they are, and she truly no longer cares.'

Meanwhile, England opens up their prisons and releases a bunch of thugs 'because they don't have room in the jail'. We're all being set up for failure.
