This is a recap of an article from The Atlantic regarding Trump's Zero Tolerance/Family Separation policy. I've included important excerpts here.

It should enrage you.

The article is 30,000 words and is attached at the end. It may have a paywall
This excerpt speaks for itself.
The children were ripped from. Their parents arms and crammed into "cages."

This was done by the Republican Party who insist they care about children
Some of the parents recall being taunted by agents who said, "Happy Mother's Day or were told their children. Would be put up for adoption..."
Zero Tolerance took up so much time, money and resources that they weren't able to go after felony criminals such as drug cartels, murderers, traffickers or sex offenders
Pro Publica published recordings which proved that the separations targeted children and placed them in inhumane conditions.
700 families have still not been officially reunited
The Trump officials wanted to blame the separations on the victims and lied about them being "rescued" from trafficking
Trump never disavowed family separation and wanted it to be reinstated.
At one point Trump said that they should all be rounded up.

"Who cares about the law!"

Sound familiar?
Stephen Miller was the grand architect behind Zero Tolerance and Family Separation. He believes it can be used in future (Republican) administrations.
Our DOJ #MerrickGarland is defending Zero Tolerance and the individuals responsible for it. They insist that the policy has "never really existed."
5,569 separated children as of January 20, 2021.

Stephen Miller said he was too busy to comment on this article because he is taking care of his own child.

There really is no bottom with the Supreme Court. They make up their own rules, their own morals and their own laws.

Thomas didn't disclose
Robert's didn't disclose
Amy Coney Barrett didn't disclose

97 Republican and Democratic members of Congress traded on stocks. The same stocks which they make laws on.

This made the news cycle for about a minute. Image
While it is not surprising when we hear that folks like Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul are part of this cabal of insider traders using their position to make millions while their constituents suffer.
It will probably surprise you to see which Democratic Party members are also grifting off the system.

I've included a list of the Democrats here. The New York Times article is attached at the end, where you can view all of the offenders Republican and Democratic.

I have gun stories.

The 1st was when my granddad blew his head off with a gun

I was in lockdown during the Van Nuys shootout

The North Valley Jewish Center was my kid's preschool

I've had guns pulled on me 3x's by strangers and one of my clients aimed a shotgun at my chest
The same day as Parkland, a kid was arrested at my children's school for planning a school shooting

My last day at work in Lynchburg, I witnessed a shootout on the tarmac at my station

As a medic, I've witnessed multiple gunshot victims, suicides & attempted suicides
A member of the Lynchburg Fire Dept brought a gun to work and while fiddling with it, shot himself in the hand & almost killed another firefighter

My son's mother-in-law shot and murdered her husband during a mental and drug fueled episode

In this time of reaching out across the aisle, I would like for each of you to remember that Trump did this:

Lifted the ban on the importing of elephant trophies and endangered species

Knowing that elephants are sentient animals with families who mourn their dead
Took back Bears Ears/other sacred native lands for fracking & oil

Lifted restrictions for clean water & allowed chemicals from mining, fracking, & oil to pollute the earth & waterways

Approved bear baiting/killing of hibernating bears, cubs & wolves so his own kids could hunt
Lifted bans on #chlorpyrifos which eat our human babies' brains. Google it.

Lifted restrictions on safety at chicken and pork plants. Took away protections from the farmers and gave them back to the chicken and pork sellers. Made it ok for us to eat tumors/cancer in our chicken

I need to respond to "Who Built the Cages Joe?"

As though a catchy phrase could absolve Trump for all he's done.

It can't.

Immigration is a complex issue, but let's talk about the cages.

1/15
The US has always had immigrant holding cells. As long as we've wanted to keep people out they've been there

When Obama was president, the refugee population exploded largely due to the worldwide Bush Recession

Obama expanded the facilities to meet the influx of refugees

2/15
We can definitely question whether the facilities were expanded correctly to meet the needs of the refugee families and children.

I would argue no. it's never okay to cage a child.

However, there were laws in place that made sure no one was held indefinitely

I woke up with lots of fucks to give:

Fuck Big Oil and Fuck the Republicans. They've killed solar and renewables. They know Climate Change is real & have their own reports which prove it. Fuck them

Fuck them that they don't pay taxes. Fuck @exxonmobil Fuck @Chevron

Fuck Them
Fuck the Plastic Companies, Fuck Big Oil and Fuck the distributors

They keep churning out the plastics while killing recycling. They want profits above people & the environment. They sue to stop bottle buy backs & recycling requirements

Fuck @Nestle Fuck @pepsi Fuck @CocaCola
Fuck @BayerPharma and Fuck Monsanto. Fuck Big Chemical as they poison our food, our water, our land and the air we breathe.

Fuck the FDA who allows it to happen.

Fuck @TysonFoods & those feeding us cancer chicken. Yeah. We are now being fed chicken with cancer.

Fuck that.
