16 pages of shredded documents pieced back together. 731 pages of encrypted messages. My goodness.

Lurker here. I know an immigration lawyer who is very involved in the current immigration crisis. I’ve reached out to her for some organization recommendations and will post them when she gets back to me. On the off chance anyone down there is lawyer interested in pro bono work, she can point you in the right direction.
She just gave a heartbreaking account of what she witnessed on a recent trip to the border. I’ll find the article.

Man barricades himself in a tactical vehicle on the Hoover Dam (or the bridge, I am currently unclear as to which), with a note taped to the window calling for Trump to release the IG reports. Will Sommer points out this is probably a nod to a Q-anon conspiracy theory that there are multiple IG reports:

Does 45 not realize that if this were NK he would have been executed years ago for the shit he pulled about Obama? The man lacks any sense of self awareness.

From a friend: Start with supporting S. 3036, Sen. Dianne Feinstein's legislation intended to limit the separation of families at or near ports of entry, (S. 3036). The current policy is a human rights violation and against international law. #ACTIONS: Thus far, 31 Democratic Senators have signed onto this bill. *If your Senators are among them, CALL AND THANK THEM and ask what ELSE they are doing to stop this (if you're in CA, I can tell you now that they have. Feinstein, obv, and Harris too. But LET THEM KNOW YOU APPRECIATE IT AND ask what steps their offices are taking to check on the welfare of separated children.) * If your Senators have NOT SIGNED ON, call and 1) remind them that this is a moral issue and that 2) separating families is in violation of international law, 3) and ask them to sponsor and pass this legislation. *CALL/EMAIL/TEXT THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE JUDICIARY SUBCOMMITTEE ON BORDER SECURITY AND IMMIGRATION. Ask HOW America is letting this happen and WHAT they are doing to stop it. Here are all the members: www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/subcommittees/subcommittee-on-border-security-and-immigrationYou can find the contact info for each Senator here: www.govtrack.us/congress/members/currentTHANK YOU FOR ACTING!

Fuck. And I agree with your other post, they are kicking into high gear with the agenda right now. I wonder if he feels the heat of the investigation.

I'm cautiously pleased that some Christian faith leaders seem to be speaking up. Or am I being too nice? Some of it feels like too little too late, but at least it's something?

They've been saying precious little. I've barely heard anything from anyone. I feel like there should be mass mobilization around everything going on right now, and it's been crickets. I guess everyone is on summer vacation? I did hear a catholic bishop on NPR (I think Friday?) who was pretty fired up and saying this isn’t who we are, but yeah. Where are all of our Christian fundamentalists? Because this is fundamentally effed up.

This is disgusting. I mean we all know this administration clearly doesn’t care about human rights at all, but to keep on publicly declaring this fact to the world just adds insult to injury.

www.facebook.com/ezraklein/videos/910270375827232/I can’t imagine being a Christian and defending an administration like this, treating other people like this (both those present and the families who obviously are not) and thinking there is anything in the afterlife for you but eternal damnation and hellfire. I can’t imagine being a human with my own thoughts and defending this crap.

There was a sign on letter this week and several statements, notably including sigs from leaders of conservative evangelical groups and Southern Baptists. Even Billy Graham's shitbrick son spoke out. www.nytimes.com/2018/06/14/us/trump-immigration-religion.html

There's a protest next weekend at a hotel where ICE agents apparently stay nearby when they come up to make arrests. Guess I now have Saturday plans...

North Carolina trying to end an early voting day that historically draws a large number of black voters. I can't beleive any one out there would argue that this isn't voter suppression. What bullshit.
