    We're really having a debate on whether we have to be civil to people who tear babies & children away from their parents, leading to incalculable trauma? Fuck civility.

        Andrew Sullivan talking about "enforcing immigration laws" when he would have been deported for smoking the devil's lettuce, but got away with it b/c his connections:https://twitter.com/delmoi/status/1010688021711253505 …

        Btw, the irony with Andrew Sullivan coming out in favor of immigration restriction is that he should have been deported after getting caught smoking weed on federal land: http://archive.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/09/12/dismissed_marijuana_charge_raises_judges_ire/ … pic.twitter.com/kyL0xjzKYz

        Remember, separating children from parents is considered a form of genocide under international law, these people should be thrown in prison for war crimes.

        1/x Thread on immigration detention and family separation during the Obama years. Trump may be awful, but our treatment of immigrant families has been horrendous for years, Democrats & Republicans can't erase their guilt by pretending Trump is responsible for America's crimes. pic.twitter.com/aWqDPYDWr4

        You’ll be up against every brown nose in the US if you start turning on Obama. Be careful.

        Don't remember you being this upset during the Obama years when the same policy and practice was in place.
