No, Mika, Family Separation policy is a crime, not just a low point or a national disgrace.

At least one child has died.
Numerous reports of child abuse and at least one arrest.
Numerous reports of parent suicide.
Parents being forced to sign papers they didn't understand
Families at the border being blocked from legal crossing - forced to cross river or illegally. It is entrapment.
Lack of medical care - medical care is a human right.
lack of due process
open defiance of court orders
lack of custodial care for all those detained - not knowing where they are. Total malpractice and may be intentional.

No, Mika, use your pulpit to demand a second special prosecutor. This is human rights violations being conducted and endorsed by our preznit and several agencies and our legislature. You are right in that Princess Ivanka did nothing and now cries for herself. Stop asking her to change, stop talking about her. Demand a second special prosecutor with jurisdiction over the border policy and the original muslim ban.

These, my dear, are high crimes and misdemeanors. They are not over. They will continue until some fucking body is held accountable.

Yesterday, she did say it was kidnapping. I wish more people would start calling it as such. It's not merely separatio.n. its child abuse . Its also kidnapping and those complicit should be put to trial.

The facts can't be disappeared, and history will hold people like them accountable.

They need to take responsibility and apologize.
