Today's Must-Read: Beyond Sickening

Children are still being brutalized by our government, and the Democrats in Congress have just handed Trump 4 or 5 billion dollars with no strings attached to continue. If you really want to get angry, read this post by Adam Silverman at Balloon Juice:

We will be paying the price for this maliciously, amoral, immoral, evil stupidity for years and years to come. Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, and the children themselves will seek vengeance for what we’re doing to them. And when they do, we’ll act surprised and plead that we’re the innocent victims of unhinged fanatics that hate us for our way of life. We’ll use their attempts to seek vengeance to justify more perpetual and forever war. And to whittle away whatever is left of our constitutional rights and liberties.

What follows is a series of quotes from the detained children, some as young as five years old, detailing the conditions under which they're being held.

Read it, then call your congressman and demand to know why he/she isn't making major noise about this.
