#WhereAreTheChildren

You’ve no doubt seen the hashtag and are aware that our government is badly mistreating children at the border. I urge you to take some action today. Here’s what you can do:
#WhereAreTheChildren

Contact your representatives. Simply say, “I am outraged by how our government is treating children at the border. What is the Senator/Rep doing about this?”
#WhereAreTheChildren

Contact your Senators. senate.gov/general/contac… …

Contact your House Rep. house.gov/representative… …

Contact your local legislators. openstates.org
#WhereAreTheChildren

I don't care if you call and leave a message, if you write a letter or email, but contact them today.
#WhereAreTheChildren

The @ACLU is gathering signatures to petition Kevin K. McAleenan, Commissioner of United States Customs and Border Protection to stop the government from abusing immigrant children. Sign here:

Seriously, if you want to contact ICE, here’s how:

Call 1-866-DHS-2-ICE
Tweet @ICEgov

If you’re unclear about what this issue is all about, here are two articles to read before calling your representatives:

Since the 25th Amendment is trending, let's review whose votes we need to make it happen.

First up, the VP's vote is REQUIRED. Would Mike Pence declare that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office?
If you voted No, then we need to stop talking about the 25th Amendment. It isn't going to happen without his vote.
That said, if Pence DID vote Yes, then you'd need every single Cabinet member to vote Yes. That includes:

Mike Pompeo
Steve Mnuchin
James Mattis
Matthew Whitaker
Ryan Zinke (he isn't gone yet)
Sonny Perdue
Wilbur Ross
Alex Acosta
Alex Azar
Ben Carson

Time for a #FridayNight game! It's super early but everyone wants to talk about 2020 presidential candidates so let's have some fun by doing a few head-to-head matchups and see who comes up on top! Let's play!
First up! If it came down to these two candidates, who would you vote for President?
If these two are the final nominees, who gets your vote for President?

Looonng thread! AND:
This is a dangerous post.

Read it at your own mind's risk

It's dramatic and crazy, the stuff of Hollywood

You'll say it can't possibly happen here... not IN AMERICA!

Or can it?
In 2016, Donald Trump is elected President. Almost immediately, certain people begin to question how it happened and start collecting information on the FACT that RUSSIA, OUR ENEMY, has assisted Trump in his efforts

In the meantime, Trump begins to dismantle Democracy.
Trump builds a administration and Congress fiercely loyal to him, but does not fill vital posts in government. The end result is a Regime which is small but very loyal to Trump.

This #SaturdayMorning I'm asking what any human with an ounce of compassion is asking.

#WhereAreTheChildren

Here's what we know so far about the 1,475 migrant children who are reportedly "lost" in custody over the last year by HHS.
(THREAD)
(2) These are the children of migrants who went to the border unaccompanied in the last year, many seeking asylum. They were placed in sponsor homes by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Since 2013, 180,000 children have crossed the border unaccompanied.
(3) In 2016, an AP investigation found that more than two dozen of these children had been sent to homes where they were sexually assaulted, starved, and forced to work.

Unlike foster homes, these sponsors didn't go through background checks or have regular home visits.
