There are photos you can't unsee

[Recursion]

We all know them.

The Vietnamese girl, covered in napalm. The Afghan refugee girl whose eyes bored a hole directly through you. The fat vulture stalking the emaciated infant in Sudan. The drowned Kurdish 3-year-old, washed up on the shore of Turkey.

And now we have one, on our southern border. I won't post it here, but you can follow the NYT link. The father and his daughter drowned crossing the Rio Grande. There is now here. We are where the photo is coming from.

1. Hopefully we'll shift our emphasis to ameliorating conditions that force people

to flee across the Rio Grande, someday.

2. Oh, wouldn't that be nice?

Unfortunately we enjoy punishing the ones who try to exercise their lawful rights too much for that to happen any time soon.

3. As Eugene Robinson wrote,

Do not look away. This is the reality of Trump’s America. Deal with it.

4. Well said. The death of two innocent people, "Trump's America"

5. Keep in mind

The average German citizens never knew what atrocities were being done in their name.

That's why media is verboten in the orange asses concentration camps!

6. They knew.

And now we're the people who are going to be pleading ignorance in fifteen years.

7. Upon further research

I stand corrected.

People are the same all over.
