There are not just pit bulls (best dog we’ve ever had FWIW) or chihuahuas or GSDs in shelters.
The situation is so grave that FRENCHIES and DOODLES and GOLDENS and FLOOFY terriers are there too.
Their parents have often been deported or died or lost their homes.
Stop. Buying. Dogs.
Adopt.

The idea that someone would wait in line for hours to get $40 worth of food from a food bank who didn’t “really need it” is absurd. Also everyone needs food.

i mean if this doesn’t sum up what we also did to the Kurds, and so many other “allies” in the entire history of America
Or like how Seattle is named for a local Indian chief who was nice to the settlers and the literal 5th law the settlers in Seattle passed was an order to expel all Indians.

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.
He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.
