If Trump can deny due process to those allegedly here unlawfully, ICE can grab YOU, allege YOU aren’t a citizen & deport you without a hearing.

And before you reply back:
"Not me, I can PROVE I'm a citizen" -- you're missing the point.
Without due process, who will you "prove" it to? Where will you show your proof? A right to a hearing / judicial review protects ALL of us.

I will no longer socialize with anyone that supports this administration. No more than I would socialize with a Nazi.

It is no longer hyperbole that the nation is being ripped apart.
There are most definitely two sides now, with a bright red line between them. The hate between them is palpable.
There is no fence, no position of neutrality.
Stand with either the side of freedom, humanity and civil rights
Or stand with the side of racism, bigotry, nationalism & religious intolerance.
Pick
Your
Side.
History is watching & it has a long memory.
There is no fence anymore

Our nation is loaded with racists & sociopaths.
WAnyone who looks at children taken from their parents -1000s of them taken with no plan on how to reunite them - and reacts with anything but horror does not have normal human emotions.

Just because you believe something, it doesn't mean it's true

New reality: Everyone is going to stand down and say 'every things better now'.
Old reality: Does NOT end zero-tolerance policy
— Does NOT mention family reunification
— Calls for putting families ‘together’ in internment camps INDEFINITELY.
— Previously under Flores settlement children could only be kept for 20 days
THIS IS WORSE.
We are be boiled alive and can't even see it happening

#TenderAge shelters?
Fuck off America, fuck all the way off.

There is no reunification plan.
Even if Trump were to change his mind, it will be months if not over a year to get these families back together, and yet it won't be 100% successful.
How will this unwind?
One child at a time?
How many children will be left behind?

The President has given 2 cheap things to his white nationalist, racist base that give him extraordinary power.
1 Religion: "Christians" can do ANYTHING to anyone of another religion w/o threat of prosecution.
2 Race: His followers can do ANYTHING to a non-white w/o fear of serious repercussions.
To be fair not only can they do ANYTHING, they are encouraged to do so.
Fascism has come to America wrapped in the flag, holding a Bible and putting "Party First" every single time.

How many times have we said,: “This time, he’s gone too far. THIS time, he’s going to HAVE to back down.”
He’s not, folks.
He won’t...
Ever...
Back...
Down.

Oh wait, my dad just died a couple of months ago. Zero time to do anything normal as I handle family business. Nope no time to blink...
Yet somehow I find a soul within me and am moved to action.
How anyone can be callous to the plight of children incarcerated in camps like criminals is beyond me.
Do both of us a favor and crawl back under the rock you came from & leave humanity to humans.

Don't move past this,
Don't get on with your lives,
Look this directly in the eye and deal with it.

I'll just leave this without comment and let you come to your own conclusions.

A US State Department background briefer today...

Apathy is tacit approval for the status quo.

If a single (white) family from the U.S. tried to enter a foreign land and was detained, with their child taken from them and nobody would tell them where the child was, it would be an intl crisis.
The State Dept and others would be demanding action.
And yet this is okay...

What I've learned this year:
It's not okay to take people's guns from them
It is okay to take people's children from them

one has to ask oneself if the press is there to report or to get headlines/ratings.
They are mutually exclusive.
