Aren’t they all

Girl, age 15
“I started taking care of [name redacted, age five] in the Ice Box after they separated her from her father. I did not know either of them before that. She was very upset. The workers did nothing to try to comfort her. I tried to comfort her and she has been with me ever since. [Redacted] sleeps on a mat with me on the concrete floor. We spend all day every day in that room. There are no activities, only crying.”

Boy, age 8
“They took us away from our grandmother and now we are all alone. They have not given us to our mother. We have been here for a long time. I have to take care of my little sister. She is very sad because she misses our mother and grandmother very much… We sleep on a cement bench. There are two mats in the room, but the big kids sleep on the mats so we have to sleep on the cement bench.”

Boy, age 12
“I’m hungry here at Clint all the time. I’m so hungry that I have woken up in the middle of the night with hunger. Sometimes I wake up from hunger at 4 a.m., sometimes at other hours. I’m too scared to ask the officials here for any more food, even though there is not enough food here for me.”

Girl, age 16
“The day after we arrived here, my baby began vomiting and having diarrhea. I asked to see a doctor and they did not take us. I asked again the next day and the guard said ‘She doesn’t have the face of a sick baby. She doesn’t need to see a doctor.’ My baby daughter has not had medicine since we first arrived. She has a very bad cough, fever and continues to vomit and have diarrhea.”

Girl, age 17
“I was given a blanket and a mattress, but then, at 3 a.m., the guards took the blanket and mattress. My baby was left sleeping on the floor. In fact, almost every night, the guards wake us at 3 a.m. and take away our sleeping mattresses and blankets. They leave babies, even little babies of two or three months, sleeping on the cold floor. For me, because I am so pregnant, sleeping on the floor is very painful for my back and hips. I think the guards act this way to punish us.”

Not concentration camps. Trump is actually taking the best care of any immigrants of any President the US has ever had.

This whole thing makes me feel far more disgust and loathing for every single person who supports or just shrugs their shoulders at this purposeful cruelty than it does for Donald Trump, who is little more than an endlessly needful empathy hole in a suit.

We have the best concentration camps. People come from all over the world to sit in our concentration camps. So many people we can't fit them all!

Standing room only! Not "only standing room left"....just standing room only.

“In the 20 days my baby and I have been here, we have been permitted to shower only four times. We ask to shower more often, but we are told that we may not.”

"My baby has only been wearing a T-shirt and diaper since we arrived. They have not given her pants or socks and she is extremely cold."

A doctor reports that "nursing mothers at CPC-Ursula are experiencing an inadequate milk supply from lack of drinking water."

"Since we arrived here my baby has lost a lot of weight. Her pants are very loose now."

“The lights are very bright and on all the time and it is very noisy. I am not able to sleep."

“Today a nurse got mad at us because a comb is missing [and] they came in
and took out all of the beds and all of the blankets in order to punish us."

“My [one-year-old] daughter and I have been sleeping on the floor with just a blanket, no mattress for two weeks.”

"We sleep literally stacked on top of each other should to shoulder. So many are sick."

"No one was taking care of the kids with the flu."

"The lights are on ALL the time and we can not sleep because every 15 to 20 minutes the guards are yelling something out. GET UP! COUNT TIME! GET UP.”

I honestly can’t tell if the Trump quotes this morning are a prank being pulled by reporters or if they’re real. They have to be made up, right?

The man is like a living deepfake.

Asked for a response to Putin saying western-style liberalism is at an end: "If you look at what's happening in Los Angeles...San Francisco...[cities] run by a group of liberal people..."

Asked about the Biden/Harris busing exchange: "It has been something that they've done for a long period of time. There aren't that many ways of getting people to schools."

Asked about whether he’d confronted MBS about the death of Jamal Khashoggi: “Nobody so far has pointed a finger at the future king of Saudi Arabia.”

McP, I am going to Target later and might head back to the alley between there and Stop N Shop. While there, maybe we could meet just to shake hands and say Hello(?)!

About to disembark for North Bend, sadly.

Just wow. This is awkward and embarrassing and cringe inducing on levels never seen

Who made that call I wonder
