Oh my god, #DnDGate on :birdsite: is the funniest thing. Noted bigot RPGPundit threw a temper tantrum and pretty much every other #tabletop gamer decided to take over his "#DnDGate" hashtag and make it about the best doorways in :dnd: .

When Melania Trump met with detained children at the Texas border on Thursday, she struck a compassionate tone, asking staff at the facility: “How I can help ... these children to reunite with their families as quickly as possible?”

Earlier in the day, though, the first lady’s attire sent a different message. As she boarded a plane to Texas, she appeared to be wearing a Zara jacket with the astonishing caption: “I really don’t care. Do U?”

By declaring the immigration system “broken”, the Trump administration attempts to justify any and all measures they seek to use, up to and including child trauma and psychological torture of parents. None of this is unavoidable. It is the product of individual politicians looking for creatively perverse ways to exploit a hot button issue, immigration.

Sorry, Mr President. A tough dilemma is how to keep your sanity when your baby or toddler has just been ripped from you by immigration officers.

For most normal adults, this is an astonishingly simple choice: do you prove your toughness by brutalizing children or do you treat them with the essential sympathy that we like to call human nature?

#ICE has shut down operations indefinitely due to "security concerns". No agents attempted to enter building today and have also cancelled appointments for tomorrow. The facility is non-operational. Other cities are raising their banners and organizing similar actions.

Trump's executive order is bullshit and any media source claiming otherwise is fucking lying

We're here for abolition

White House senior adviser Stephen Miller was called a fascist earlier this week while dining at a Mexican restaurant in Washington, D.C., according to the New York Post.

“Hey look guys, whoever thought we’d be in a restaurant with a real-life fascist begging [for] money for new cages?” a customer said to Miller, according to the Post.

Still breathing while black.

“You don’t throw a sheet over his head and walk to the next person,” Mr. Carey said. “Did you check and see if he even had a pulse?” he asked, at times tearful and seated next to a lawyer...

The Chicago Fire Department, which oversees emergency services, has said it is investigating not only why Erin was covered with a sheet while he was still breathing, but also why it took 40 minutes to transport him to the hospital.

Military concentration camps for 20,000 children who have been charged with no crime?

How is that a good idea, or even something which would be seriously considered by anyone but a Nazi?

Blame Donald Trump’s ruthless bigotry, sure. But when the president walked into the Oval Office, he walked into a ready-made, bipartisan immigration policy framework poised for brutality. Militarized borders, deportation squads, an archipelago of internment facilities, hypertrophied executive power, a lurid body of national security and anti-trafficking law sprung from the rich manure of panic — none of this is Mr. Trump’s handiwork. It was an inheritance.
