Specifically because so many people hold this perspective, fascists have learned that they can cause harm, abuse, and death to millions of trans people, so long as they don't literally have a clearly labeled "TRANS GENOCIDE CAMP" and aren't filmed with chained people in stripes.
A reminder that even the Nazis knew that the average citizen might have a problem with human beings being mass funneled into an incinerator.

So they didn't tell them.

The camps were a secret most citizens, and even the Allies, didn't know about, or couldn't begin to comprehend.
Would you know a genocide if you saw it? If you had to live through the moment instead of smugly holding the post-facto knowledge of history?

There's every reason to think you've lived through one in the last decade.

The evidence that something was hidden was public for months.

Well taken care of, on the floor, dying of fever! Well taken care! Nursing infants torn from their mothers! Comforted in cages by todders trying to quiet their crying! No food, no water, no beds, no blankets no mothers, no milk, no diapers. Just like #SummerCamp! #Barron sld go!
@RealDonaldTrump #AsylumSeekers come legally to our #PortsOfEntry under our own immigration laws and treaties. The only one who broke our laws is you! UN Treaty Series 1948 Article II Section (e) defines the separation of #MigrantChildren as #Genocide and #CrimesAgainstHumanity.
When #AsylumSeekers present they are assured by our treaties of #DueProcess a hearing before a judge. If we decide not to grant asylum, we have to deport them. We are not allowed to imprison them, dismantle their bodies w/#ForcedMassHysterectomies & steal their children forever.

It is really quite amazing that Tulsi Gabbard, right-wingers and QAnon have converged to swarm a fictional movie for allegedly exploiting young black Muslim girls, a group that all three have expressed zero actual concern for in the real world ImageImageImage
Amazing, but not surprising. Bad faith actors are gonna bad faith act.

None of these folks have watched the film, most don’t know what it’s about and are unaware it’s a French indie film by a Black woman director—a child of Senegalese Muslim immigrants—not a Netflix production.
Curious: Have you watched Dance Moms or Toddlers and Tiaras, both of which have run for...uh...9 seasons?

Huge corporations making millions in profit per day off of the cruelty in Trump's immigration policy.

Lots of money for political bribes and other #TrumpCorruption funding.

For your researching pleasure.
Even if the Republicans in charge of this mass incarceration scam are NOT engaged in #ChildTrafficking ... the obscene profits and corruption must be criminal and indictable.

Something has been bothering me for awhile.
You remember #Pizzagate? Where @HillaryClinton was outlandishly accused of running a child sex trafficking ring from a DC pizza parlor?
And we know the guilty often accuse others of what they themselves are doing, right?

THREAD
And then there's the whole #JeffreyEpstein child sex trafficking ring and the sweet plea deal given to him by now Labor Secretary Alex Acosta? (And attorney Alan Dershowitz, big defender of Trump, has also now been accused by a victim of Epstein's)

THREAD
And the random side note where Kushner's pal's, the Saudi royal family, have a pedophile in their midst. (The FBI believe Daniel Mullan, a dual US-Irish citizen, has been producing and selling child pornography for "at least 30 years") irishcentral.com/news/daniel-mu…

As uplifting as our day of #FamiliesBelongTogetherMarch events is - we have to talk about #MeTooICE and the sexual degradation of prisoners. Trump is traumatizing a generation of people. We must dedicate ourselves to moments of re-unification and lifetimes of healing. #MeToo
We don’t fully know the answer to #WHEREARETHEGIRLS? Having worked in sexual assault prosecution and prevention, I know #metoo incidents are astronomical among female prisoners & girls in state custody. #FamiliesBelongTogetherMarch is a cry for HEALING.
The assaults, pregnancies, and degradations must be a part of this conversation. STOP government from separating families, imprisoning children, or sanctioning assault & trauma. We must include not just FREEDOM but HEALING in our demands. #FamiliesBelongTogether #MeToo #MeTooICE

What would Mister Rogers say and think about Donald Trump's evil and cruelty towards refugee and migrant children at the U.S.-Mexico border? #WhereAreTheChildren #WhereAreTheBabies #WhereAreTheGirls

My new .@salon

salon.com/2018/06/21/new…
Mister Rogers was not just a kind man. He was a radical truth-teller and philosopher who possessed and lived an ideology of justice. I speak with professor Michael Long .@salon about this vision and also how the new documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" gives it short thrift.
Michael Long has written extensively on the philosophy of Mister Rogers and how his radical politics are a corrective to the cruelty and evil we have seen in the right-ward turn in America and the neoliberal regime more generally.

Any American who says 'this is not US(A)' does not know their own history.
One place: Sand Creek, CO.
One name: John Chivington.
Three words: 'Nits make lice.'
Col Chivington was not hanged for war crimes, nor his men. Congress did issue a finger-shaking condemnation, though.
#WhereAreTheGirls? Why do you care? They're only cunts, born w that extra hole that means both 'less than fully human' & 'threat,' bc cunts make nits. Thus Col Chivington's men took dead women's labia as trophies, bc sexism & racism are 2 inextricably twined strands of 1 hate.
Cunts are holes valuable only for birthing more healthy white sons, otherwise disgusting & dirty & dangerous to well-ordered society, & thus rightly shorthand for 'lowest of the low,' - as you all agree, self-proclaimed liberal or not.

This #MothersDay we remember OFFICIAL GOP POLICY of Jeff Sessions, John Kelly, and Trump is TO SPLIT UP FAMILIES:

OFFICIAL POLICY HAS LOST OVER 1500 CHILDREN.
You are either against separating children from their parents, or you are for it.

Lethal Neglect begins with enforcing cruel laws and cruel executive orders aggressively.
The Trump administration STILL plans on putting migrant children in warehouses on military bases after separating them from their families.

Donald Trump and GOP re-election slogan: Aggressive Cruelty. #MACA
