Sessions/Trump are, effectively, human traffickers

They are taking children at the border and exchanging them for votes. They are wrenching them violently from their parents, shoving them screaming into vans and holding them against their will in facilities with darkened windows (which even Senator Jeff Merkley was prevented from entering yesterday to check on their welfare).

See link below. Daily Kos shares some cynical graphics to underscore this point – and it is the most vivid truth of this entire, sick, American moral collapse. I can't sleep.

Resist daily.

It's one thing to sit in an office and order the execution of a cruel, immoral policy like this, but there are people who are actually following those orders. How do you go to work every day when your job requires you to tear little kids away from their parents and hold them in what aren't much better than kennels, and then go home to your own spouse and kids and have a pleasant dinner and watch a little tv or play catch in the back yard? How do you do that?

"How was work today, dear?"

"Oh, the usual. Wrenched a couple of screaming toddlers away from their hysterical mother. Same old, same old."

"Huh. Care for another slice of pie?"

There has to be a fascist emotional vice grip on those people holding children in detention centers.... deserves study, but only AFTER we liberate those children
