THREAD—WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE DISPLACED:

My parents had to choose between spending nights in closets and basements as rockets rained down around us, or to leave their life and business behind. We had the great fortune of being Americans, so there was somewhere to escape.

Knowing what it's like to be forced from my home as a child under gunfire, the idea that families escaping violence to protect their children are an invading horde is REPUGNANT. And any media outlet that parrots that frame should do some serious soul-searching.
The GOP's hideous xenophobia, its dehumanizing of immigrants is un-American and unconscionable. Climate change could wipe out humanity, yet not a word from these hypocrites, but watch them target migrant families as a looming threat to America.
