    Generations from now we will be talking about the awful camps and jails and detention centers where immigrant children were snatched away from their parents and warehoused. It’s a shameful abomination. I’m angry almost to tears. It’s so fucking infuriating. Shame!

        We have to be careful that the rage doesn't kill us. Don't forget to breathe - big deep cleansing breaths - and the exhale is important.

        History has shown us that camps, jails and detention centers will still be prevalent in America generations from now. This Has Always Been America.

        You do realize that in jailing these folks, your tax dollars ARE paying for them? If they were allowed to work and live in communities while awaiting trial, they would be PAYING taxes.

        What? Shaun King and ppl like Marc Lamont Hill share some responsibility for what’s happening and unless people take Shaun to task, he will actively sabotage the next Dem candidate bc he wants Bernie, who didn’t know the criminal justice system is unfair to black people.

        They are being given respectful conditions. Start a bigger movement to convince their parents not to break the law.
