An Image That Will Never Leave Us

You've likely already seen it.  If you haven't, fair warning.  It's a picture that's so disturbing that it physically sickens.  As fathers and grandfathers -- no, as human beings -- it shook us to the core.

We just won't post it here.

We want to wipe the image from our thoughts, but we also must remember it.

We must remember the trauma and suffering of the children.

We must remember those who have died trying to reach asylum or while in the custody of the Trump regime.

We must remember how innocent people are being used as pawns and are being treated like they're subhuman.

We must remember how families are being torn apart, some never to reunite.

And we must remember all the bastards whose callous, malignant evil has led us to this.  They must be held accountable.  They. must. be. held. accountable.

Damn them all.

(Again, here's a link to organizations that are working to help migrants, a task well beyond the moral scope of this administration.) 

BONUS:  There's a poem by Warsan Shire that valued commenter donnah has shared in the comments that we and donnah think is very compelling.
