It’ll be called ‘Agua’
or some shit like that –
or ‘Walls Around the Heart.’
Starring Scarlett Johansson as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
And Meryl Streep is in it for five minutes.
“AND THE OSCAR GOES TO …”
Mike Pence doing exactly what Jesus would do, folding his arms and looking over the prisoners’ heads like they’re not there. https://t.co/Vb17Slx41Y

The sad reality is
in fifteen to twenty years, all of these children will be in and out of the criminal justice system like a revolving turnstile and Republicans will point to their ethnicities and say “see?” and stupid, racist people will fall for it.
We are creating
an entire generation of future broken people who will have no choice but to resort to crime and/or self harm because of the severe trauma and neglect they experienced at such a young age.
And unless we start doing something about it and we learn a very important lesson, this will happen all over again.
