Letters from Children

So many terrible things happening all the time now. So, what can I find to talk about for this L day? How about: 

Protesters Fill Minnesota Capitol, Read Letters from Children Held in Immigration Custody

I'm still a little salty from the conversation I had where they said, "It's not really that bad". 

It's really that bad. 

The concentration camps are "unbelievably inhumane". A family held at Texas' Dilley ICE detention center wrote letters describing neglectful medical care, inedible food and a disregard for their religious accommodations

And this sort of thing will traumatize these kids for the rest of their lives. Even if the kids aren't taken. 

Tuesdays are my day to rail against the current regime in power in the U.S. Even in April. Feel free to vent in the comments. 

Today's A to Z Challenge post brought to you by the letter...

  1. I try not to despair. But, it's difficult. It may be cynical, but I'm glad that I am so over the hill, I can't look over my shoulder to see the top anymore. Soon, Blogging Elvis will be leaving the building.

  2. Yes, we know it is really that bad.

  3. It’s almost like he’s on a mission to destroy this country. Every day my mind is further blown by the horrible things done by him and his hideous admin. And the way his supporters twist to justify his terrible behavior is just as mind boggling. If I believed in the supernatural, I could believe he was working for dark forces…

  4. I started to read the letters, but "I miss my bear" got to me too much to continue. It's "that bad," and more likely much worse than that.

I appreciate your comments.

I respond to comments* via email, unless your profile email is not enabled. Then, I'll reply in the comment thread. Eventually. Probably.

*Exception: I do not respond to "what if?" comments, but I do read them all. Those questions are open to your interpretation, and I don't wish to limit your imagination by what I thought the question was supposed to be.
