Blaming these families for "breaking the law" is like blaming Poland's cavalry for provoking Hitler's invasion. Blaming the Democrats while banning them from inspecting the camps is like charging the Red Cross with running the gas chambers.
Our prison system is a corporate profit center. With more than two million prisoners, it's the largest in history after Hitler's concentration/death camps and Stalin's gulag.
It's been filled largely by the Drug War.
But more than half our states have now legalized cannabis for medical and/or recreational use. America's for-profit prisons -- like Trump hotels -- could lose "customers."
Since Nixon launched the Drug War in 1971, more than 41,000,000 Americans have been imprisoned on nonviolent drug-related charges. Most arrests have been for pot, and most have been of blacks and Hispanics.
The Drug War means to generate prison profits and guarantee that people of color can't vote.
Trump's assault on these families means to scare their community from the polls.
And to send us ALL a message: the GOP will do to human children what the Nazis did.
The Nazis claimed it was to "purify the race." Sessions says it's a "Biblical" obligation.
No matter the pretext: if they can rip children from parents -- ANY children from ANY parents -- tase them, cage them, traumatize them for life, treat them like sub-humans " they will absolutely do it to you and YOUR children " or worse.
And they want you to know this.
Be afraid. Be very afraid ... and then ACT!!!
