There's a Synagogue in Prague that is a museum about the victims of Terezín Ghetto in the 40s. In one room, it is completely plastered with pictures drawn by children who were being held there (and most/all ultimately died). It is the single most heart-wrenching thing I have ever experienced.

The fact that Americans aren’t ripping down the walls to free these children is horrific.

And utterly, abjectly, totally unsurprising. Par for the fuckin' course based on AMPLE precedent.

If the people being held in these camps were rescued and the facilities then hypothetically happened to be burned to the ground with every ICE agent still inside, I would not lose one damn bit of sleep. Anyone who would do this to another person, especially a child, is a Nazi in all but name and Nazis deserve absolutely no mercy.

I hate that this was only posted to Twitter. In fact I'm surprised the facsists haven't removed it and banned him yet.

This drawing and the video he took of the children protesting need to be published by every news outlet in America.

Welp. That’s the normalest normal thing I’ve seen today and definitely doesn’t make me think of Auschwitz or anything like that.

If you are OK with this then you don't have a single shred of humanity left in you. I can't understand how people like this can exist.
