for those suffering from mental illness.

Yet, there is no acceptable rationale for passing death sentences for the sick and disabled on our shores REGARDLESS of the paperwork in their wallet.

This was negligent homicide. Trump and Steven Miller are guilty of high crimes.

Deliberate non-consensual withdrawing medical care when a fatal outcome is assured based on ethnic origin. What kind of homicide is that? A hate crime?

And the deporting of the children and young adults with life-threatening illnesses is a new level of cruelty.

It’s all too much to bear.

First 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 for me.



Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) was a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.

Not admiration or emulation; NAZIs need extermination.

Why can't exceptions be made for people who are ill and need lifesaving treatment? Being deported is a death sentence for most of these people. Trump may as well just have them executed in the public square.

This just makes me so angry and so sad at the same time.

As long it is non-whites dying and being caged and deported they will always want MORE of this.
