The number of children in federal custody has climbed sharply since President Trump revived the practice of detaining immigrant families last year. Hundreds of children have since been held at a detention center in Dilley, Texas, where families describe poor conditions. trib.al/c0Wufj7

Given the fact that Trump has deemed he can invade a country if he doesn't like the way it's run, Mexico, Canada and Greenland must now start preparing for invasion unless the US Congress gets serious and impeaches and removes Trump from office.

With this latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%.

Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.

Smart move to alert the police and smart politics to publicize it. This is serious.
Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."
Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.
