Shame, President Trump


We’ve been setting out bedding plants. Marigolds, petunias, salvia. Unusually, until last night, we have had very little rain. Almost none, so that apart from our infrequent watering, the plants were withering in soil dry as dust. They are young, without resilience or robust root systems, and without nourishment they wither and die.

Children, toddlers, babies, separated from their parents. Placed in internment camps run by security firms who are raking in the money. These tender children are young, without resilience or robust survival mechanisms, taken to strange places with people they don’t know. They are withering in soil dry as dust.

This is beyond cruel. Shame, President Trump. Shame, Jeff Sessions. Shame, silent Republicans. Shame.
