According to the UN Trump's disappearing of children is genocide.

And this needs to be known everywhere.

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

Killing members of the group;

Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Anyone who is still asking "Is it fascism yet?", is not paying attention.

every child they found who over the age of 10 was shot. The rest of the kids were sent to "schools" away from their parents, and taught to act white.

destroying other cultures is in our dna, it seems.

man at it's helm but claims that it's not legally responsible for the missing children and could less about their lives. This current administration, the person in the WH along with the GOP's suck.

Media where are you? Time for social media and word by mouth to bring this front and center.

Vote them out as well.

interfering with women's rights to reproductive justice is torture. There is literally no depth of depravity to which Orange Caligula will not sink.

Harm the children to punish parents.

I am glad that in the last 2 days, this issue is getting a lot of traction in the news, and more importantly, social media.

Most were sold off by the dictatorship to paying foreigners (mainly Brazilians, where white infants are especially prized) or well-connected locals - including the owner and the CEO of Argentina's largest media group (very right-wing).

Trump's isn't an administration - it's a regime.

The UN would start looking into the crap that's going on here. I think it's time somebody did SOMETHING.
