1-Sentence: Kids As Classified Cargo
(This was published just prior to the mass-cagings.)
Among the reasons children will be fenced on military bases, guarded as, if you will, enemy combatants, is that they will be shoved all over the show in ways that maximize their long-term unavailability to parents and press as frequently, as long, as government likes and by an administration able to claim the transport flights hold, in addition to children, classified cargo.

Kids.
Kids.
One day these kids will have their Moses and retribution will begin.

This is not the first time that the government has stolen children. This is not the first time that children have died in the custody of the government. What makes this time different than the others is how rapidly technology allows us to be informed of these atrocities.
Seeking asylum is not a crime but apparently being brown while seeking asylum from situations created, at least in part, by the US Government is a crime. Or rather it is if you are a “Conservative ‘Christian’ “.

You’re of course right, Renee Matlock. The Dawes Schools in which Native American children were, en masse, imprisoned is just one example.

Back in the 1960’s Dawes Schools weren’t fit for humans to use. The ones that remain are even less fit for humans to enter today than they were in the 60’s and yet they are, according to state and federal governments, perfectly acceptable for Native American children to occupy for up to 8 hours every day, 9 months of the year.
The buildings anywhere else in the country would have been condemned 50 years ago due to the asbestos they contain and, in some cases, their proximity to open pit uranium mines… but for some reason they are “good enough” for Native American children. Sadly, I’m pretty sure (based on the events in Flint, Benton Harbor and Detroit) they’d also be seen by the majority as “good enough” for brown/black children too.
We shouldn’t be endangering ANY children for ANY reason but, currently at least, we have a (mostly Republican) white supremacy problem which exacerbates the rest of the problems this country has relating to children. I am reminded daily “Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it”. (MrsRaptor)

No, it’s not remotely the first time.
