Children as young as 13 are ‘trapped’ in a state with no access to abortion, lawyers and advocates say
Donald Trump’s administration is concentrating all pregnant children being held in federal immigration enforcement custody into one group shelter in south Texas, a state where abortion is outlawed with no exceptions for survivors of rape or incest.
Since last summer, more than a dozen pregnant minors, some as young as 13 years old, have been moved to a facility in San Benito along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a joint investigation by The Texas Newsroom and The California Newsroom, citing sources within the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Department of Health and Human Services.
The agency is responsible for children who entered the United States without a parent or legal guardian or who were separated from their families by immigration authorities.
So what do we do to unfuckulate the US after this is all over?
Short of a massive governmental and police purge, and a flat goverment-wide ban on people holding office and literally bulldozing these facilities into the ground, or simply torching these facilities so they can’t be used to harm again… What do the Americans do?
They’re a pariah state and it deeply upsets me that my nations leaders are still kowtowing to their interests.
You don’t. America isn’t coming back from this.
I live here and am so angry…I call my reps and senators, get a form response…call my local reps and senators…fuck all…I am starting a commununity garden.
If the established parties don’t represent the people any more you’ll have to get rid of them and replace them.
After the Civil War we simply let the old slave masters go. We let them keep their other properties and wealth, and they came roaring back with the Klan. It took several more generations and the Civil Rights movement to dislodge them from power, a few faced trial, but the vast majority were never publicly unmasked. They just took off their hoods, put on suits, and went back to work in Congress.
USAmericans have defeated them before, but it never sticks. They keep coming back because we keep letting them get away with it.
We also never did anything to all the domestic Nazis and Nazi accomplices/businesses partners/sympathizers…in fact we brought more over and gave them the biggest cushiest jobs imaginable. Never did anything to lynchers. Never did anything to Jim Crowers. Never did anything to full grown adults physically attacking children going to integrated schools. Look at how soft we went on the January 6th people, just for them to get pardoned and the people who orchestrated it still haven’t spent a single day worrying if it would bite them in the ass, in fact they have even more power now.
Those are undoable and therefore won’t work. The only effective solution is trying and convicting EVERY high-level MAGAt of treason and giving them the traitor’s end.
Nah, every single person who has supported MAGA in an official capacity after J6 needs to be publicly trialed and punished. Every politician, every notable donor, every lawyer, literally everybody.
Same thing with the Trump-Epstein-Israel/AIPAC files, every single person needs to be taken into custody for the duration of a new investigation and series of trials, every single suspect needs be have a public live stream 24/7 until it’s over, even through the punishment (execution, these parasites have robbed us enough already). Pay for the process with civil asset forfeiture, like they do to us peasants.
I don’t think America is coming back from all this honestly.
Yeah, not in the foreseeable future.
Even if someone ran on a platform of “undoing everything Trump messed up”, a lot of the damage is irreparable.
Relentlessly pursue justice for the Trump-Epstein class. At a minimum all those implicated in the files need to be investigated, and we should jail anyone found of any wrongdoing associated with Epstein or the ongoing coverup.
As establishment Repugs and Dems have already admitted, this would decimate the current power structure and we would need to replace the majority of our elected officials as a result. This would be the perfect opportunity to institute a national standard of ranked choice voting, and abolish the electoral college, so that FPTP is a thing of the past and we can move beyond the 2 party uniparty rule.
There will be much more to do of course, but I think this would be a fantastic start.
