We Now Have Concentration Camps for Children in the U.S. - MAGA in Action & MSM Inaction

Texas state representative and U. S. Senate candidate, Beto O'Rourke and Texas gubernatorial candidate, Lupe Valdez are leading a march to a children's concentration camp in Tornillo, Texas, today, on Father's Day, to shine a light on this atrocity. Let's light up the phones at every congressional office, federal and state, as well as our mainstream media outlets. It's time to make our voices heard and loudly! We can't let the fascists win.

Republicans are Warehousing Babies in Cages - On the Taxpayer Dime

In addition to sadistically tearing children away from their mothers and fathers and traumatizing them for life, Republicans are warehousing babies, toddlers and older children indefinitely in private prisons where they have refused even a U. S. Senator the opportunity to view what goes on inside. (Would they also refuse the Red Cross or United Nations a tour?) For those who believe a Final Solution could never happen here, think again. This is what the party of "Family Values" is doing in all our names with our taxpayer dollars. In a true democracy, we would all have a say.

According to Former US Attorney, a Trump Self-Pardon Would Likely be a "Self-Executing Impeachment"

According to Preet Bharara, a former US Attorney, if Trump were to give himself a pardon, it would probably be a "self-executing impeachment." However, Trump obviously thinks, as president, he above the law and his paid agents are busy planting that seed in the media. We are looking at a dangerous Constitutional crisis and we can't count on Republicans to put the Constitution before Party.
