“Hello darkness, my old friend.” -- Simon & Garfunkel (But today I’m in the mood for Disturbed’s version)
American pride is dwindling, a new poll suggests. Not much to be proud of these days. Let’s begin:
Photos show hundreds of migrants squashed into cells, appealing for assistance. One senior manager at a facility called the situation a "ticking time bomb." Migrants banged on cell windows and pressed notes against the plexiglass.
Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas released videos purportedly showing the conditions inside two migrant detention centers along the border with Mexico.
From bad to 'sheer inhumanity': Detention conditions for migrants worse under Trump, advocates say.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez describes the cruelty and impunity she glimpsed at the border. But if you’re a misogynistic racist fuck you won’t read it.
“If you torture people, maybe they won’t think America is great. And maybe that’s their grand plan. But it’s torture. It’s cruelty.” -- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Q: Are you satisfied with the trip? Did you see everything that you came here to see?
AOC: I mean, yes and no. Yes, in that I’m satisfied that I saw these facilities. No, in that it was very clear that they disappeared hundreds of people. They disappeared them.
Q: Like, disappeared disappeared?
AOC: Yeah, like, they’re gone. I think they dumped them in Juárez, according to what people were saying.
America, 2019. As stated earlier: Not much to be proud of these days.
