So this is Christmas?



Not so fast. This year 2018 is the war on immigrant babies. A separation of families. A mother from Yemen after a long fight is now allowed to visit her dying son. Due to trumps immigration policies she was denied.Denied. Denied. Only today I heard she will be allowed a last painful visit to say goodbye to her child.

So this is Christmas.
Trump welcomes immigrant children.



So this is Christmas.

We should not be at war with the children or with their mothers and fathers. tRumps policies are not who Americans are.

with her not exactly boyfriend

I say that because I couldn't image being in that situation or, most importantly, having to make that choice.

Your baby girl gets to take to the ice as she should. Tears to the ones taken by ice.



Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays to you and yours, underpants. I can't wait for the new Congress in 2019. We need them.

I also like a lot of other rocker's Christmas songs, but this one is the BEST!
