I loved Cricket! It was the first subscription I ever got and it felt so grown up (I was about 9). 

Saying “You shouldn’t take kids from their parents and lock them in cages” is now considered “controversial”

To steal a Twitter comment “This is Gallant.”

Thaaaank you. Look, I know over time Jez has shifted more into White Feminism(TM) territory but....god damn, this....this is crossing a line.

I’ve seen a story or two like this before, and as someone who works everyday to get people *out* of custody, it is utterly baffling and not at all cute.

She’s setting a bar for what counts as “torture” conveniently right underneath what her father experienced. You know, some people have had body parts cut off as part of their torture. Should they say, “Well, John McCain didn’t really get tortured because he got to keep all his fingers!”? It’s astonishingly stupid.

McCain shot back, “Well, my father couldn’t lift me above his head as a child because of his torture wounds.”

I’ve read some other commenter make this suggestion before and I think it is a good idea: Trump loves putting his name on everything — so let’s do just that. These border camps should be rebranded as “Trumpcamps” — forever linking him to this act of abominable cruelty.

Donate to @RAICESTEXAS. Donate to the ACLU. They’re doing as much of the legal and humanitarian stuff as they possibly can. 

I think you’re doing great. You have clearly identified your needs and appropriate boundaries with him. You are successfully enforcing said boundaries and are moving forward to meet your needs. I understand that his autism can make things complicated, but I think you’re doing grand. I’m super proud of you and I…

You need more stars for this comment.
