Make no mistake: Trump is testing whether he can get away with things like firing tear gas at young children. He is hoping these images harden his supporters to even worse acts to come. And he is banking on racism to get his way. We must oppose and condemn this. NOW.

“Never ever forget that our nation tear gassed women and children. They were unarmed. The babies don’t even have shoes on. Don’t look away. Lean in. Be angry. We must remove these monsters from office. They are doing this with our tax dollars. It violates multiple international treaties and is an affront to basic human decency. This nation has known for months that these families were coming. They could’ve been met and processed in an orderly fashion long before this.”

Y’all thought your racist friends and relatives revealed their true horrible selves two years ago, but you never expected this migrant crisis would show you how far down they’d really sink.
And yet evangelicals have never been so solidly behind a president. It’s not a religion, it’s a white supremacist cult.
If the only pieces of scripture you can ever seem to reference are “render unto Caesar” and “man shall not lay with man,” then maybe you aren’t so much a Christian as you are just an asshole.
Don’t let the teargassing of children fleeing violence distract you from what really matters:
Baristas might not say “Merry Christmas” to you.
Remove the leaders from office and remove their followers from your life.
You don’t need to associate with people that condone this and they don’t deserve you.
Once again we fail to live up to the lie we tell ourselves about America.
