    We’ve moved beyond even a Dickensian workhouse society at this point. Children should not be left to rot in jail/prison/concentration camps, for any reason.

      How about instead of saying that, and instead of upvoting statements like that, you use your opinion and voice to DEMAND that something WILL happen.

      It’s not productive to tell cowards like Schmuck & Jeffries that you expect them to be cowardly enough to do nothing, AND you’ll be cowardly enough to accept it, even if you hate it. Send that message and that’s exactly what they’ll do - Nothing.

      We need to be making it very clear that we expect far different behavior this time. The fecklessness of the weak, cowardly, and insipid Biden administration will NOT be tolerated. Weak incumbent Dems are already losing primaries, and we’re coming after anyone who isn’t getting fully on board with the new Democratic agenda.

      So you can stick with the losers who expect nothing, and will get nothing, or you can join those who are going to force the Dems to do their jobs.

      But posting messages like this is just pathetic. Ew. Gross. Show some self-respect.

    They don’t care. Zero compassion. ICE don’t believe that the people they’re detaining are their fellow humans, let alone their equals.

    Americans are evil for tolerating this. Im not even talking about Trump or MAGA - they’re obviously evil. I am talking about the people who go to work each day, read the news, mutter something about how they hope he loses in November, and ultimately do nothing to stop this.
