His life is forever changed.
But there are more kidnapped kids in Texas.
This has got to stop.
This is not American.

I've been on the bridge of an hovercraft from France to England, but never seen the cockpit of a plane except in museums. I'm envious.

What the absolute fuck is wrong with those people? Do they hate that much? And why? Do their own lives suck so goddamn bad they have to scapegoat 5 year old's to feel better about themselves? The inhumanity of magats is simply beyond my comprehension. Sorry, but I'll never, ever forgive them for this and a whole host of other horrific stories.

I love that the administration was shamed by the court order to release him.

I knew it was possible, but I didn't think it could get this bad, this quickly.

(32,577 posts)And keep in mind that authoritarian propagandist efforts are geared towards several things. The health care changes, removal of environmental protections etc are all part of a concept called autogenocide.
It's their push away from American values and towards Christian Nationalism. This attempts to overpower us with their unpopular and easily refuted attempts at separating us as they try pushing us away from goodness and hope towards engineered despair.
This creates a world where finding good becomes useless in one's mind and the stress it creates distracts from our ability to organize, see a better tomorrow and resist their efforts.
Awareness of autogenocide exposes how nation states and rogue governments try to drive their populations to destroy themselves. Whether through poisoned environments, collapsing healthcare, misinformation & engineered despair.
It's mass death by design & by the outright neglect of society. It's also known as Social Murder.
Of course, it's OK to get angry as long as we don't stew ourselves in it. Keeping in mind that anger is really fear in translation. So let's stay strong and encouraged because it doesn't matter what they do as long as we stay aware of their attempts at making us destroy ourselves and each other.
We won't let them win.
I love your strength and compassion. But I also don't want us to lose hope.
Thank you for your reply, PatSeg.

(52,471 posts)I try to remain optimistic, but Trump & Co.'s shock and awe campaign is doing exactly what it was meant to do. I'm old and exhausted, but I'm grateful that there are younger, more energetic people able to take over.

the first thing I noticed also. Very somber. In normal circumstances, youd expect a little kid this age to be grinning from ear to ear. Needless to say, these are not normal circumstances.
I hope Liam can soon feel safe, secure and joyful.

The agents that did this... the ones who used him as bait.... need to be charged.
Name them.
