Hey everyone? This is not okay. In May, the US government officially adopted a policy separating children from their parents when they crossed the border. It was meant to act as a deterrent to anyone seeking to immigrate to this country. Don’t come with your kids, or we’ll arrest you and take your children away. Children should never be used as political pawns like this. It’s inhuman and cruel. 

One man killed himself after being taken away from his family

Children who do get placed in homes with families don’t know when they will see they parents again

The UN has said that this policy violates international law

Parents, after being separated from their children, are being tried as criminals. According to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, “If you cross the Southwest border unlawful, then we will prosecute you. It’s that simple” So not only are families being torn apart, parents are being sent to jail. It’s really hard to be reunited with your child if you are in federal prison. 

Please pay attention to what is happening at our southern border. Please care about these people. I know there is a lot gong on in the world, and it’s hard to care about everything all the time, but please don’t forget about the immigrant families. Call you representatives. Vote the people who support this policy out of office in November. Find a local rally/protest. Donate to a charity. Don’t let the people in power get away with this.

PLEASE READ THIS

i don’t use this website to talk about what happens in my country (nicaragua) but right now everything is upside down, Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo (president and vicepresident) made some huge changes to our taxes because they used money from our social security and we couldn’t handle any more bs so we began this revolution pacifically, but now college students are getting killed by the police, the government is threatening many people just to get them to shut everyone up who is against them, they burned and destroyed many universities, almost burned a building while people were inside, hurt many elders and kids, censored many channels on national tv to manipulate information, i’m just-

WE ARE NOT EVEN BEING VIOLENT WE ARE JUST PROTESTING PACIFICALLY FOR OUR RIGHTS, PROTESTING BECAUSE WE’RE TIRED OF HAVING A GOVERNMENT THAT JUST TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THEIR POWER, THEY TOOK EVERYTHING FROM US, WE CAN’T TAKE ANY MORE INJUSTICES, WE WANT THEM TO LEAVE

WE ARE GETTING KILLED AND WE ARE SCARED BUT WE WANT TO BE HEARD, WE NEED THE WHOLE WORLD TO SCREAM WITH US

NOS ESTÁN MATANDO

POR FAVOR AYÚDENNOS A SER ESCUCHADOS

#SOSNICARAGUA

ok, we made it, Daniel Ortega canceled the changes on our taxes [April 22nd 2018], but these protests have changed their goal since they killed the first student, WE NEED ORTEGA AND MURILLO TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY

like, the police keeps killing people, college students are still the principal target, channels on national tv are still censored and the ones that aren’t manipulate information to make the government and their sympathizers look like they are the victim in this situation

we’re living in a constant fear and Ortega keeps claiming that all he wants is peace and calls everyone against his regimen a “delinquent”

WE WANT FREEDOM, WE WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT DANIEL ORTEGA IS A GENOCIDE DICTATOR

[May 12th 2018]

everything is getting worse, they are killing more and more people, incriminating innocent people for the murders, they are even creating chaos between us to make the ones that are fighting for freedom like they are vandals, they won’t let enter international organizations to investigate the crimes,,,

we think this is becoming a civil war, i’m really scared, i haven’t sleep well in days, i hope this won’t last long but i don’t know what’s going to happen now

please keep yourself informed about what’s going on, and pray for us

[May 26th 2018]

protests are still going strong, now farmers are blocking roads in sign of protest and it seems this really affects the government because they are trying to get rid of them by attacking those protecting the roads

by the time there are 300+ missing people and over than 75 deaths, the streets in the city are basically destroyed, the government is using a new strategy where the police (and we think that even soldiers) are dressing as civilians and killing every protester when they got the chance, there are motorcyclists intimidating people in the streets, you can be murdered just by carrying the national flag, over 30,000 people got fired the past few weeks, the economy is going down faster and faster each day, national tv channels are still manipulating information to make the protesters seem like they’re the ones killing and destroying everything thanks to the CIA (i know it’s stupid but that’s what they say), it’s a mess

Ortega-Murillo are still in denial about what’s going on in the country, they don’t wanna listen and don’t wanna quit, they still think that it’s just a few people against them but it’s actually like 90% of the nicaraguans that want them to leave, they call for peace in the morning and send their people to kill us in the night

everyone is tired and scared of what’s going to happen but we still got a piece of hope in our hearts, please pray for nicaragua and don’t leave us alone

PLEASE REBLOG

Yikes. Yikes yikes yikes yikes yikes. I wasn’t planning on watching anyway because I’m so over it but yikes this is awful. Not one person stood up for her besides the only other woman. Both of them were spoken over, mostly by Jason Bateman. Just awful. 

Jessica Walter, who has been in the industry since the 60’s, not only gets gaslit about the abuse Tambor put her through, she gets mansplained by people half her age and a quarter of her experience and acclaim, about what the industry is.
