So he isn't for the people or equality for all, doesn't care about dreamers, doesn't care about any paychecks but his, doesn't care about preventing gun violence, doesn't care about climate change or the Internet or violence against women or lowering health/drug prices. Got it,
Yup, you speak the truth DF. IMO, trump wants a war – by any means necessary. We must be smart and not play into or react. We want him out of office so we can put him in jail. Impeaching him while in office will not remove him or jail him. We want him OUT and then in JAIL!!!

This is how democracies die and dictatorships arise: yesterday Trump says he’s free to violate the campaign finance laws, today free to violate the Hatch Act, all as his DOJ is filing a brief saying Congress has no power to investigate his lawbreaking.
Congratulations to Toronto, what a great game last night. The Warriors played their heart out, with all the injuries they still fought hard. A good NBA Series.
Do the bullies perpetrating this Evil know how uncertain life is at 4 months? The first year is the most delicate for staying alive.
Human mammals are entirely unable to self-nurture, parents have a right to protect their children, babies have a right to be held close and protected. Bonding is a fragile issue that begins in the first moments after birth – is why Mothers must keep their babies with them and not allow them to be taken by hospital staff. Imagine being taken from the only loved ones you know at 4 months, and then the trauma of being taken from the foster parent, if indeed these parents are permitted to see their child again.

“A leader with a top civil rights organization says the forcible separation of families at the U.S. southern border has continued. “In a single morning last week at the courthouse,” writes Efrén Olivares of the Texas Civil Rights Project, “I saw President Donald Trump’s ‘zero tolerance’ immigration policy tear seven families apart.” In fact, he continues, his organization has counted at least 785 families “that have been separated since then just in McAllen.” Many of these separations have been of families that the federal government doesn’t consider families, but are families nonetheless, and the crimes against them have received considerable less attention than those against biological parents and their children. “We have witnessed hundreds of siblings, uncles and aunts, cousins and grandparents go through the same suffering of losing a child as biological parents face. Often, these relatives are the only form of parents the children know. Their trauma goes unrecognized, unreported and ignored.”
Yes it is a big deal. It's the reason President Obama lives in his head 24/7. He suffers from two conditions, #ExtinctionAnxiety and #MelaninEnvy which makes him experience his whiteness as a genetic disability. Hence the orangutan paint and tweesults directed at black people

2050: Good to know worst case scenario.
“Climate crisis could bring the end of human civilization by 2050…”
“As someone who for more than three decades worked in an office where people were directly dedicated to crafting false narratives about the benefits of carbon dioxide, planting doubt concerning the motivations of scientists warning of global warming, and investing millions in making everyone believe that the climate crisis did not exist … I agree with Dunlop. The fossil fuel industry has by this point spent hundreds of millions spreading the message that the climate crisis doesn’t exist, or if it does, it’s not our fault, and if it is, it’s not that bad. That message permeates everything. It’s unavoidable.
The softening impact of the message from the fossil fuel industry is compounded by the natural tendency, especially in government in the media, to compare current situations with the past. But this situation isn’t comparable. It hasn’t happened before. It is genuinely unprecedented. However bad you think it’s going to be, odds are you aren’t thinking bad enough.”

–Finally…gorgeous weather here today…local weather is what Trump needs to acknowledge…local weather is not climate.
yesterday in a restaurant was astonished to see a young couple elbowing their desperate 2 year old child away while they were eating.
He wanted to sit on his father’s lap. Mom completely ignored what was happening. Dad finally pushed him into the wall, where the boy stood facing it as if that was the routine. What is this administration teaching parents about children who are wholly dependent on those around them and just want to be loved.
I wish some ppl did not have kids. I am one of those without children but if I did , then I would make sure my kids will always have my unconditional love. I understand that ppl may need some downtime but not at the expense of pushing children away.
Not everyone is cut out to be a parent.
20 million claim:
“Family of trans asylum-seeker who died after weeks in detention files $20 million claim against ICE.”
“Johana Medina died in a Texas hospital on June 1, where she had been transferred after being jailed at the Otero County Processing Center, NBC News reports. But Johana’s advocates say she had been sick for weeks, and her pleas for help had essentially been ignored by officers. She was a trained nurse, and her attorneys say she asked for an IV.
“’When that request was denied, she requested water, sugar and salt to make her own solution,’ which was also denied, they wrote.”
She was taken to a hospital only when she was found unconscious.” Johana died two days later.
