    Today's shooting at YouTube HQ is the 58th mass shooting in 2018 in the United States. I’m fed up with the number of times we’ve been offered “thoughts & prayers” in the last few months... Senseless, evil acts of violence continue, regardless of our “thoughts & prayers.”

    Hitler used this same tactic. He would parade the victims of crimes committed by Jews in front of large crowds to imply all Jews were criminals. This is vicious PROPAGANDA. Undocumented immigrants are far LESS likely to commit violent crime than those born in the US.

    If any of you don't understand what wanton demagoguery is turn on your television and watch your president now. He is using the power of his office to spread fear and hate laced with misinformation to advance a cruel and unjust political goal.

    The US negotiating team - Kushner, Friedman, Greenblatt - just concluded a 4 hour session on the "peace process" with Netanyahu and Dermer. All participants are Republicans (yes, Bibi and Dermer are more Republican than they are Likud). All are rightwing Jews. Very promising.

  7. The most damning element of this tragic American tale: That so many Republicans still support this depraved man and his malignant movement could be the most catastrophic element of this tragic American tale.

    "This boy seemed devastated—quiet and withdrawn. He barely spoke. I asked if he needed a hug. I kneeled down in front of the recliner, and this kid just threw himself into my arms and didn’t let go. He cried and I cried."

    .: This is fascism ascending. The reality in front of us when children are ripped from their parents and that is called law... The world is divided by two camps. Humanists versus those who believe in white supremacist nationalism who want to destroy democracy

    In a courageous statement, American Airlines tells Trump: “We have no desire to be associated w separating families, or worse, to profit from it." Just ONE such maverick voice can result in moving the arc of the moral universe irreversibly towards justice.

    POTUS has referred to migrants as "animals" who "infest" the US & used infants as capital: - To pay for his wall - To avoid mid-term elections becoming a referendum on HIM - To galvanize his racist base Trump will continue to push boundaries (internment camps) until he is stopped

    These children are now being flown all over America. Every governor should, right now, sign an executive order requiring that any child so brought into the state has clear paperwork connecting them to a parent, with the parent's whereabouts, and an ability to contact the parent.
