purplerabbit | America’s 21st Century Holocaust

Are you watching this America?

First, they went after visitors from other counties.

Next they went for immigrants who supposed were "violent criminals."

Then they went after those immigrants with even the tiniest infractions.

Then all undocumented immigrants except for The Dreamers.

Then they began going after even the dreamers. Children brought here who have always lived here. Sent to places they don't even remember.

By this point all undocumented immigrants are targets, no matter how long they've been here, no matter that they have families here, no matter how young.

Now they tear children from their parents, even breast-feeding babies and put them in cages. Soon to be camps.

And now they are going after those here legally, including refugees, asylum seekers, and naturalized citizens.

Abuse is rampant on the border and in "detention."

ICE has become the new Gestapo, and the police are the SS.

They shoot black and brown people with impunity. Transgender people are harassed and even murdered every day. White men commit mass murder and are treated more gently than innocents who are not white. There is currently an attack on free speech, particularly aimed at sex workers. The Trump regime has green-lighting every form of bigotry.

If they aren't stopped, we know this play list. Soon it will be all GLBTQ and Jewish people sent to camps.

Disabled people “put down” to save us being "a burden." How long before any and all who dissent are sent away as well.

Are you next? If not, how many does it take till they get to you? Or worse, you become one of them?

This is how Holocausts begin. Where are you? What you doing about it?

YES. Share it. Shout it. We need to stop this! Call your representatives. Join the ACLU. Do whatever you can to resist these atrocities now.
