Thanks to Dianne Feinstein
for introducing legislation to stop the separation of children from parents at the border. Is there any possibility to fasttrack it?

2. Call your local reps, sign the petition, go to a protest tomorrow.
In response to the growing number of children and youth separated from their immigrant families at the border or their homes, and the thousands of children who have been harmed or abused by Trump's immigration agencies, we are holding a non-violent National Day of Action for Children on Friday, June 1st. We demand that the Trump administration stop separating immigrant children and youth from their families and account for what is happening to all children in immigration custody.
#FamiliesBelongTogether #WhereAreTheChildren Add your name to the petition now and find an event near you on June 1st. http://www.webelongtogetherkids.org/ https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/where-are-the-children |

13. Thanks! I wish
that the demands included the return of the children to their families.

3. Only with GOP cooperation. Any chance of that?

6. Guess we'll have to see. Maybe if the backlash
gets strong enough and loud enough and from the right places. This is really evil.
I was hoping there might be some court action that could be taken to block Trump. |

8. They used to be the party of "family values"
... but I guess that was in an alternate universe.

9. My Senator: I just filled in my ballot for her re-election
I hope to gods she can get some traction on this. What the GOP is acceding to is evil.

12. Thank you Senator Feinstein.
As usual, it's the Democrats cleaning up the republican's messes. The important thing is that this must stop and I hope she succeeds.
