Trump administration argues that detained migrant children don't need toothbrushes/soap/towels and that sleeping on concrete floors is just fine

Imagine if these were Norwegians, Danes and Sweeds in these cages.
Yea, I can't picture it either.
People of color remain flexible when human rights and dignity part of the discussion.
To stop it? Legally? Nothing. You can donate to groups that are trying to make sure the affected asylum seekers get legal representation, and that's important, but you can't do anything to force this administration to treat asylum seekers like human beings.
Are there options that aren't legal? Maybe, but you can't discuss those on ResetERA.
The words I want to say about nancy and democrat leadership and their fucking cheerleaders on this center of right forum would definitely get me banned.
I'll just say this: hitching everything to Mueller and his narrow focus was a mistake from day -1. There's mountains of criminal shit that needed to be blasted to the public day after day. The human atrocities are increasing and going strong every day we treat this inhumane racism and fascism as simple political process that can just be "solved" on election day.
These old Democrat oligarchs are ill-equipped and lack the conviction needed to tackle the hatred and contempt coming out of the increasingly batshit right.
+1
These fuckers need to be rounded up and go through the same hell.
They literally dont think of people of color - as people!!!
I cant believe this is the climate we live in.
Those motherfuckers who voted that Orange piece of shit in his cronies can go fuck themselves.
If those in the left weren't so scared of action they could use a play from conservatives and strap up, form a militia and step in. Works for the other side alot. They are doing it now to stand off against state police to protect what they feel is important. They've done it many times, untill you are willing to get violent to protect whats right you may as well shut up and sit down. Thats where we are, if you wany to admit it or not. It sucks but we are far past the point of civil discourse. Funny part is the government knows the opposition isnt willing to do more that be angry online. So we are where we are.
I agree with everything you just said, and I can imagine the other feelings you haven't voiced. They are sitting here doing fuck all while textbook fascism is rising and they're worried about their own political future. Its like they can't comprehend that this man is dismantling government. Its impossible to them. No, they just have to keep sending letters, and wondering why they are ignoring all law.
Yea they are monsters. You know people are gonna be aholes "i mean why am I paying for their well being?"

In Trump's first interview with a Spanish-language television network, he claimed that he is bringing migrant families together. And it's all Obama's fault. https://trib.al/k8ovOPk

He falsely claimed he "inherited" family separation from Obama.
He falsely claimed Hispanics were losing wealth under Obama.
He falsely claimed he has 50% Hispanic approval.

I know, I just wanna see the hypocrisy and mental gymnastics.
It really disgust me to no end that fucking pedantic nerds who love sniffing their own farts are using the term "never again" against people pointing out all the fucking clear as day Nazi shit happening... AGAIN. THIS IS THE ACTUAL POINT OF "NEVER AGAIN" YOU FUCKS!
It's a continuum. The Holocaust didn't happen in one day. The Nazis didn't decide immediately to kill minorities and Jews on day fucking one.
"Never again" doesn't mean "Hold up, these guys seem like fascists, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt and let's see how it all plays out. Maybe they won't be exactly like the Nazis."
Morons, morons, surrounded by morons in the media.

It doesn't affect the majority of the people on the left, simple as that. Sad but true. If this were their families it'd be different
These are straight-up concentration camps. It's disgusting that we've let things get too this point.
This is torture. Sleep deprivation. Sleeping on concrete under bright lights. Weeks without bathing or change of clothes. No toothbrushes = destroying their oral health = a slow poisoning. Incidents of physical and sexual abuse. The U.S. is torturing children.
What? We already did this step during GWB, this is the step BEYOND that... where torturing children is being justified because someone didn't specifcally say "Don't put children to sleep on stone floors without blankets" and "Don't forget to allow the children to wash with soap and water."
I thought Sam Seder's response to the camps is very apt:
at this point, is stopping this administration a moral obligation, even if by nonpeaceful means?
Wow,this is how they treat migrant children in their concentration camps. I still don't get why there's no massive protests or riots to get his ass out of the white house.
Because the majority of this country doesn't care or supports it.
Fucking hell. This makes me so sad and hollow. America, you really need to get rid of your pure evil government. You all need to protest this.
The most comment "argument" from the rural south I see when these articles is to blame the parents for dragging their children cross country to break the law instead of staying home and caring for their children.
It's the typical upturned nose response from people too heartless to care about human suffering, until they also bring in the "But what about OUR homeless, and OUR veterans, and OUR children

These are concentration camps. Plain and simple.
You rip children away from their parents and feed them old moldy food. You shove them in cages and make them sleep on concrete. There is no soap. You force the children to take care of other children. AND SOME OF THESE KIDS ALREADY DIED.

It's hard not to get depressed watching these people. Pure evil! We have to stand up and fight against it. Those that claim to be about humanity and equality need to stand up. What do you do in the face of evil?
This is heartbreaking. The people responsible for this deserve the same fucking treatment. I just hope karma is real, or failing that Hell is real and they're all going straight there.
Yet the people from the middle east are considered less human by these people. Monsters. Thay are the evil that they claim to fight.
This is not suprising from the man who threw toilet paper rolls at people asking for help from their president.
Fuck Trump and his people.
Fuck Trump and his people.
If Trump wins in 2020 while having actual children in concentration camps I don't even know what the fuck to say about Americans. Sociopaths and enablers in that administration, top to bottom, that lawyer lady is literal subhuman scum and I'd like to make her sleep on a concrete floor with a fucking aluminum blanket for several months. All of these people should be in jail.
I was thinking "oh it's probably a hyperbolic thread title"
Me upon reading it....nope
We're at that point, but the most effecitve means is in 17 months. Hammering these points needs to be done hard over the next 17 months. Pelosi needs to be slapped down for trying to tut-tut AOC on this.
So, how do we hold these fuckers accountable?
And the answer isn't just "vote", that part's a given. Even when we vote them out, the perpetrators of these crimes usually skate.
