Are you taking notes? It's time for all of us to prepare and to "move on them like a bitch".
Don't wait for a leader... no one is coming. Pick up a sign, grab a friend... show up at your city's capitol or even stand at the end of your driveway.

"Children are stacking up in detention camps because ORR won't allow qualified American families to take these children in," de Anda said. "I know, just from my practice, how many Americans are willing to open their doors."
But ORR shuts the doors tight.

If you don't have US relatives you are interned until age 18, then turned over to the tender mercies of ICE, and summarily deported. One by one we have beaten them in court and will do so again.

"Unfortunately, I have well over 4,000 of those children in my care at this time at the Office of Refugee Resettlement," director, Jonathan Hayes, told CBS News.
Please #DontLookAway. 4000 innocent children in prolonged internment. We fight back every day to free them 1 by 1.

A taste of the fascism raining on the border. I have an EMS friend in Laredo who was called to a drowning on the Rio Grande. When their unit arrived, they found an 11 yo child wet & shivering, crying for her mother on the riverbank - who had just drowned. My friend covered...1/
...her with a blanket, took her inside their warm unit, gave her hot tea, & comforted her as well as he could. In about 10 minutes a border patrol unit drove up. BP went into the EMS unit and brusquely took the child, handcuffed and arrested her. All while the search was on...2/
...to retrieve the body of the child'sndrowned mother. My friend said he walked back into his unit and broke down in tears for what seemed like an hour. He told me he could not be comforted by his mates. "I have a daughter the same age" he said. 2/
MPP: Our firm has been providing legal assistance to refugees along the Mexican border since the Regime began implementing its family separation policy 2 years ago, seeking to deter asylum seekers through cruelty. Now we are facing MPP.
My MPP thread.
My MPP thread.
MPP is the latest turn of cruelty visited on refugee families. Families who plead for asylum are rounded up & deposited en masse on the bridge forced to return to Mexico while they wait on their hearings - a dangerous no go zone according to US officials.

The families are easily targeted by cartel gangsters (thanks to MPP) and placed at risk of being robbed, kidnapped, and worse. Our lawyers are forced to travel to Mexico to meet with our clients at secret locations for safety, a not appealing journey.
@DebbieforFL @DWStweets @RepDMP @DonnaShalala This information came out a week ago, but it tracks with the concerns I mention upthread about "teachers" only required to be fluent in English and Spanish.
But if NO ONE at Homestead can communicate with indigenous children...
Shame on them. Shame.

@DebbieforFL @DWStweets @RepDMP @DonnaShalala My Senator's reaction. @SenJeffMerkley has been all up in the issue of prisons for children since he first tried to gain access to a Southwest Key facility in Arizona a year ago (and was denied, and raised a stink, and got people's attention.)
@DebbieforFL @DWStweets @RepDMP @DonnaShalala @SenJeffMerkley This....whooooop. This is no place for a child. I just... Thank you, for writing the article, @britsham, but man, it's a hard one to take.
This is how it started. A crushing "knowing" which tore at my comfort. A knowing that there was no going back to my humdrum law practice; that fascism was upon us. I've dedicated 8 months to this battle & there is still no light at the end of the tunnel. deandalawfirm.com
We've reunited dozens of families in the US and placed them in the care of Americans. Many are now our neighbors and citizens to be. Some are back home in the loving arms of their separated parents.
But it is not over. Th children desperately need our help. We work absolutely free of charge but need help to carry the expenses. Please help us push back against the fascist nightmare. Help us to #FreeTheChildren

📺 If you’ve ever seen the show “How I met your mother” you're familiar the game “Have you met Ted?” where Barney tries to introduce his friend Ted to a girl.
😎Well, we're going to play a variation of that game.
🌊So, have you met your SC Democratic Candidates?

Nielsen just now: “These minors are very well taken care of. Dont believe the press. We operate according to some of the highhest standards in the country. We provide food, medical, education and all needs that the child requests.”
Lets look at that. 1)

Agents LIE to the families, including the children. They are told that kids are taken away BRIEFLY, for questioning or to be given baths (which sounds ominously like a Nazi Shower in Auschwitz).
Moms are told that they will not see their kids again. Are kids told the same? 2)

Parents are given flyers with phone numbers to call to locate their children after they were placed with ORR.
Only, the phone numbers on the flyers are to an ICE tipline!!!
If a parent somehow reaches ORR, the ORR cant call them back, cuz there are no phones in these camps. 3)

As a teacher and children's minister, I saw the effects of bad public policy on a daily basis. My daughter has arthritis, and when my husband lost his job, Gwen offered to pay for her own healthcare./1

I also value hard work: we began the campaign when my husband held two part time jobs while searching for a position, and I taught summer camp all day and hit the trail at night./2
