1/4 I lived & watched all the #Watergate & #Clinton hearings. I was in HS & college during Watergate. Both progressed in an orderly fashion that never had me fearful that our democracy was in jeopardy. I can’t say that with this #TrumpRussiaGate. I’m analyzing & racking 2/4 my brain for explanations, reassurances & to make sense of what’s happening. This time bc of the significant #GOPcultism however, I’m fearful we’re heading towards a dictatorship—loss of our democracy that my USMC Dad gave 30 yrs of life in 2 wars to protect. A NPRK replica.

<THREAD>“Honduras has the world's highest murder rate and high levels of sexual violence” w most living in extreme poverty & much unemployment. A lg % are single moms. Roman Catholicism is the main religion; sm scale agriculture’s the main economy. The life threatening 2/trek to possible USA asylum is >1600 miles. They’re unable to carry more than 1 btl of water & food is whatever is found in trash or donated by strangers along the way. The trip is their last hope. It’s not that they’re going TO the US but LEAVING the hell of Honduras.
