[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is this thread a call to action or just wishful thinking, while Congress does nothing?[/quote]

I just feel so helpless and sad, honestly. I have always wondered what I would do if - just for example - Hitler came to power, and I wasn't personally in danger. And now I know - I would post a lot to social media, talk a lot to friends, vote. And sit here complacently while we do the unthinkable to the innocent.[/quote]

What makes it especially hard to do anything is that the Trump administration has made it so hard to see what's happening.  Neither the media not members of Congress have had an easy time getting access to the children to observe conditions on the ground. Trump's people know how Americans would react if they could see with their own eyes what they're doing.

Nonetheless, there is enough public information that anyone who still supports this administration should be ashamed.[/quote]

But we know enough to know this is egregiously cruel. Incredibly inhumane. And bad enough when these things happen to adults. But these are babies. Their brains are forming now. These experiences will shape them for their whole lives. Instead of being loved and cared for, they are essentially being treated like the babies in the wire monkey mother experiments.

We are torturing them. We are torturing them because we are governed by an evil person, and everyone around him is complicit because they get what they want if they go along with it - or they actually believe this is ok.

We should be rioting over this. [/quote]

All that has to happen for this to be fixed is Congress to allocate funds. Trump doesn’t hold the purse strings.[/quote]

May your family never be refugees. May you never suffer malice or incompetence that causes your children to be taken from you and held in jail with dirty diapers and other children to try to keep them alive, while armed adults make jokes and laugh about your suffering. While they hope you suffer more.[/quote]
