I want to cram this article down the throat of every Trump voter in America. But I realise that's not practical so, screenshots.

Bless you for the share of a paywalled article. But also, the Atlantic is the one magazine I pay for, and I urge everyone to do the same!

Kudos to you for posting a 30,000 word essay. But everyone should fucking read this

"you'll never see your kids again" That's a call to violence if I've ever seen one. Republican's invite it every time they speak.

This is the shit he really needs to be in prison for.

For another sad example of this, read up on actress Diane Guerrero (from ?????? ?? ??? ??? ????? and ???? ??????).

I've favourited this because I know my heart can't handle this right now. But I also know it's important. I'll try later, maybe.

I have a very interesting story when my family landed in PDX from Vietnam. A couple tried to take me away when I was born (5 mths after)
UmamiMama
They were told from the sponsored church that they could have me (illegal adoption). Lucky my dad took me and ran home.

bookmarked, so I can read little by little on my break. Sadly I had to stop reading, back to work.......for now

Wholly crap! And I mean that literally!

Also remember that America has a history of forcibly sterilizing minorities and "unwanteds" against their will.

Donald Trump is an evil man and one of the worst humans alive today. BAR NONE.
MeSoErnie
Yes hes evil but hes just the face of it. Stephen Miller and all the others going back to the Nixon admin are the evil minds behind him

So, when are the prosecutions for the blatant crimes against humanity, please?

The moment you have a foreign army occupying your capital. Well, a foreign army that cares at least a bit about human rights. So not China.

Any takers?? Please??? Canada, wyd?

As a future social worker, this is why I don't want to work with children. This hurts just reading and having to work like this would kill m

Me too.

I got thru the first "pic" before having to stop. I'm a mother, & the idea of losing my child to jackboot thugs almost drives me to>

Committing violence against those threatening him. Bc I know damn-well they only did this for the southern border. No one said a word to>
SerenePrincess013
The border agents about separating families from our northern border. Bc of course not. Cruelty is the point.

The GOP are theocratic fascists otherwise known as Nazis. Reading this just told me they already started the trains & many looked away. (1)

Interstate highways replaced by intercity railroads and car grids replaced by light rail? Sign me up for the Team Choo Choo.

They cannot be allowed to win the midterms at any cost. Lest even more trains are started. (2)

See the right has no problem with open borders cuz they can just sell them to the fields

"Bethany Christian services, one of the groups contracted by the US Government..." Tax churches.

Holy crap this is LONG. You weren't lying about that.
Imgerruinedimger
Yeah thats a god damn novel as far as imgur posts go.

Yup. In fact, it's the longest article ever published by The Atlantic.

Yo fuck Homan with a cactus for suggesting family separation as a deterrent. Much like his name, he's not quite human.
NunyaBNess1
It's telling that upon seeing a dead father & son, he didn't feel guilt himself but imposed it on the dead father & used it as justification

The US has long been in the business of genocide of anyone who isn't a white Christian. This is neither anything new or surprising.

TheGhostofElizabethShue
everyone should appreciate a thorough grasp of history, but dismissing present horrors as par for the course doesn't help.
pirateninjaunicornattacksquad
You know what? Agreed and my bad. +1 op

TLDR: Trump is horrible and he sold his firstborn child, Donatella, to goblins for “goblin gold” (i.e. lead)
CongratsYouAreHereNow
Isn’t goblin gold just another term for hot piss from a chlamydia ridden Russian hooker?

harryplt788
Agreed. I also want to add that Congress is implicit in this. As Americans, we have failed.
Tsugumi2me
Our country failed us long before we failed it. America is just legacy families ruling a land they committed atrocities to obtain.

I shouldn't be having difficulty figuring out if this is true

That final comment from Miller regarding his spending time with their kid. Hypocrites both of them.
ahhhhtomzilla

Yeah, it's pretty effed up...

Donatella?

The child separation program was happening under Obama's admin also and before that too. Ask activists in Texas and native nations in SW US

I know for a fact child separation was happening in texas under the obama admin because my community was protesting it even then.
meskarune
Talk to indigenous and latino activists in Texas, you are wrong about this. US gov has taken children away for decades.

I did a thorough search. I did find evidence of what you are saying. I stand corrected.

I do not have to time to read it all, but the first few pages are gut-wrenching. The thought of my son being taken from us is unbearable and
TisIChenoir
I'm sorry people had to go through that, Trump is a fucking monster, and its voting base are no better, they rejoiced for it.
TisIChenoir
Btw, and I swear it's true, when scrolling, each time I saw a photo of people in front of US flags or symbols, I saw swastikas.

Same. The implications are unnerving.
