1. Yellow Bracelet Instead Of A Yellow Star?

I do recognize the difference between what is happening here and in Germany but the color choice is terrible and ripping children from their parents is unconscionable.

2. Boy not nearly enough difference between then and now AFAIC

which I don't say to disagree, just adding my own sentiment.

I'm VERY upset by these developments. They are SO clearly purposely cruel and heartless. And I can't read any of these without Rev. Niemoller's famous words --

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.

6. You're Quite Right In Your Sentiment

I was simply trying to not diminish what happened before, which you haven't

8. Did You See Rachel Last Night?

I just happened to catch it and was so surprised to hear that Russians had approached Adlai Stevenson, Kennedy & Johnson with offers to help them win their election? They found the perfect patsy in Comrade Trump.

9. No, I did not see that..

Doesn't seem like a Russian thing to help a Democrat get elected, does it?

5. Nazi concentration camps ID Marking System: clothing badges, armbands, tatoos

ID Nazi Concentration Camps:
MARKING SYSTEM
From 1938, Jews in the camps were identified by a yellow star sewn onto their prison uniforms, a perversion of the Jewish Star of David symbol. After 1939 and with some variation from camp to camp, the categories of prisoners were easily identified by a marking system combining a colored inverted triangle with lettering. The badges sewn onto prisoner uniforms enabled SS guards to identify the alleged grounds for incarceration.
Criminals were marked with green inverted triangles, political prisoners with red, "asocials" (including Roma, nonconformists, vagrants, and other groups) with black or—in the case of Roma in some camps—brown triangles. Homosexuals were identified with pink triangles and Jehovah's Witnesses with purple ones. Non-German prisoners were identified by the first letter of the German name for their home country, which was sewn onto their badge. The two triangles forming the Jewish star badge would both be yellow unless the Jewish prisoner was included in one of the other prisoner categories. A Jewish political prisoner, for example, would be identified with a yellow triangle beneath a red triangle.

14. its only going to get worse...Trump administration nominates immigration hard-liner for migration po

Trump administration nominates immigration hard-liner for migration post at State Department

Mortensen has written several articles published on the Center for Immigration Studies website that are highly critical of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a program put in place by the Obama administration that offers protection from deportation for certain individuals who were brought into the United States as children.

In a post he penned in 2009, Mortensen claims that "illegal immigration and high levels of identity theft go hand-in-hand," "children are prime targets" of identity theft by undocumented immigrants and "Illegal aliens commit felonies in order to get jobs," among other things.

In February 2017, Mortensen wrote that "President Trump's Executive Order 13768, 'Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior United States', has shocked illegal aliens and their supporters because, unlike the Obama administration, the Trump administration will not 'exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement.' This means that the vast majority of people unlawfully in the United States are once again subject to deportation."
