And... crying. Some women were lied to. Kids were taken "to get a bath" or "take a picture" and the women never saw their kids again. This makes my mind go to really dark and evil places. How can this be happening in our country? This sounds more like the gestapo.

What really kills me are the people who support this and say if these people didn't want their kids taken away, maybe they shouldn't have come. I just can't. That’s such a heartless response from those who support this. I mean wtf. These are innocent children. I hate people.

I hate to say it but we’ve been primed for this. The signs and the hatred have been there, I guess we just never think it will actually get to this point? But I think that feeling is my privilege. There are a lot of people in our country who aren’t asking the question “how is this happening in our country?” And we need to recognize that, and them. I feel absolutely terrible.

This was exactly my out-loud response. No. No way. No FUCKING way. So...do you not believe this and the IG is lying or you just think it's outrageous that he would do this? Oh I believe it. Outrageous he would do it.

This is a Texas non-profit that gives legal counsel to those coming across the border, if you'd like to donate directly to an org on the "front lines" so to speak. There are probably more local/CA non-profits as well, I just haven't had a chance to find them just yet.

That’s such a heartless response from those who support this. I mean wtf. These are innocent children. I hate people. also we are doing it to asylum seekers. Which is NOT the law and they didn't enter the country illegally. It is a choice the government is making. No law says you have to separate kids and parents. Our administrations decision to criminally prosecute every border crossed leads to separating families and they want that to be a deterrent. Under the current law these people can be processed and released for an immigration hearing. Want to improve rhings? Hire more immigration judges so that we can process these cases in a timely fashion. But don't fucking blame the people who have nothing for trying to have a better life. Ughhhhhhhhh. Also this isn't really a response to you,so much as my rage yelling into the ether over and over again.

There is also a large enough group of people who may not like it, but either don't believe it's really as bad as some say OR say nothing because it doesn't directly affect their comfortable lives. And that is the boat they don't want to rock. Fuck them. Fuxk them all.

Of course I believe any number of outrageous things are true. It's 2018. My first gut reaction being shock won't go away until 2019.

he is on Fox & Friends AGAIN outside the white house saying the IG was bad because of the last sentence?
Apparently he really loves the NK reporter and how deferential she is to KJU. Well yeah because she doesnt want to be executed.
Hes a moron

Trump loves how when KJU speaks, the people sit up and listen. Yes, because he will arrest them if they don't.
< Panic Venting > Guys, he's not going to leave. He's going to cancel the 2020 election and make himself President for Life and it will be the end of our country as we know it and Mitch McConnell will just be sitting there like "please sir may we have another?". I don't know how we can stop it, even if there's a blue wave in November. </ Panic Venting>
Sorry I'm just super tired and cranky this morning and I can't stand the bastard.

@juliagulia I'm feeling a little lost about how to help, too. It seems like the urgent need is access to attorneys for the families. Rep Jayapal said at the rally last night that attorneys were finally being allowed into the facility she visited in WA due to their demands. So, I'm guessing the ACLU, but I want to research that. I also know that the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services org is raising money to help. Their website says 100 children separated from their families are in their care: www.lirs.org/And obviously pressure on lawmakers and the white house. We need to break their phones. Remember this time last summer when the resistance shut shit down over Obamacare repeal attempts? We need that again. ETA: Rep Tony Cardenas has a page on his website about volunteering and donating: cardenas.house.gov/ways-you-can-help-immigrant-families-and-children There is a list of pro bono legal organizations for each state on the Justice website. At quick glance it looks like Catholic Charities is present in most immigration courts in TX. Human Rights First also in TX and CA. ETA 2: from a friend who does immigration law responding to my frantic email: "Right now the ACLU has a lawsuit out of San Diego on behalf of detained parents—$ there can be effective. Also, Dianne Feinstein is introducing legislation to make the family separation limited—you can contact your senators about this. Consider as well donating to bond funds, which are helpful for getting folks out of detention who are only there because they cannot afford to get out. This helps family separation too, though not always at the border. freeourneighbors.org/ is one such fund; there are probably more in DC and other places."

Rudy says we should halt Mueller because of the IG report:
Sorry not sorry you made your guys investigate this bullshit and now you're pissed you didn't get the results you wanted.
