  2. I guess they didn’t need them for the next congress address 

  4. Only disgusting, vile, empty shells of ‘humans’ could do this

  5. And conservatives were calling dems heartless and cruel and demons for not applauding Trumps pony show last week for another cancer kid.

  6. >”I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this,” she said of Mr. Trump. “I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”

    Crystal Minton, Trump supporter, when talking to *The New York Times*.

    I like to believe the normal reaction to suffering is preventing others from experiencing a similar trauma. Having been hurt, people would want to help others avoid a similar injury. I am clearly naive. Human nature, specifically most Americans, must follow the mantra, “if I have to suffer, then I want everyone else to also suffer.”

  7. Now mind you, they’re shaming our Democrat representatives because they didn’t clap for that kid they used as a political stunt the other week.

    >When Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, was asked in December how he would approach deporting mixed-status families, he [told The Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2024/12/26/immigration-border-tom-homan-trump/) that the risk of separation was ultimately the fault of the parents.

    >“Here’s the issue,” Homan said. “You knew you were in the country illegally and chose to have a child. So you put your family in that position.”

  8. The right wing have been circulating rhetoric that liberals hate cancer survivor kids for the past week or so because during the joint session, Democrats didn’t stand up to cheer when the GOP trotted out a 13 year old cancer survivor in an obvious display of using that kid as a prop. The Dems didn’t fall for such a fake display but they also fell for the trap the GOP set up because they then kept repeating that Dems hate cancer survivor kids.

    And yet the MAGA are going to ignore this incident where they did actual harm to a 10 year old cancer survivor. Which is worse? Not standing up to cheer or deporting a recovering brain cancer 10 year old?

  9. The ten year old citizen was not deported.

    The ten year old citizen opted to leave with her parents rather than be sent to foster care as an abandoned child with no parents in the country.

    The four children could have remained in country but without parents they would be put into foster care.

    It’s also worth noting that if Trump’s executive order is validated by the supreme Court, all four of these kids are likely to be denaturalized.

  12. Not overly religious — many in Texas are — but that’s some actual go to Hell for eternity level evil.

  13. *slow clap* Good job America. Good job.

    I really hope that the child is able to get the follow-up monitoring that she needs in Mexico.

  14. MAGA is like “I had to put a pronoun in my email signature so deporting children with cancer is only the logical equivalence of the suffering I had to endure”.

  16. News stories like this don’t matter. Why? Because everyone with any power is either a coward, a tyrant, or is high on their own supply of propaganda. There are only 535 people who can neutralize this threat. But congress has lost their balls, and is too busy fighting each other to find them.

  19. DEPORTS AMERICAN CITIZEN. Those are the key words. Since when are American citizens deportable? Fucking sanewashing.

  22. Writing your congressman has failed. Protesting has failed. Boycotting has failed. Voting has failed.

    There are more of you than them.

  24. I have started to view the MAGA movement as genuinely Satanic. As a very devout Christian I truly think that they are actively trying to snuff out the light of God in the world, but will not succeed

  25. Heartless. USA government really has the devil(s) in office. Are ICE employees enjoying their job these days?

  27. Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

    I lift my lamp beside the golden door! 
    But if they be well enoughtto afford brain surgery 
    get them the F outa here, and F kids with brain cancer 
    Yet those kids”

    The new statue of liberty plaque.
