Just ... jaw-droopingly, soul-crushingly monstrous.

Texas police ordered to shove babies back into the Rio Grande, deny children and pregnant women water.

So many of our leaders are absolute monsters. And so many ppl vote for them know of--because of--their monstrosity.

I just want to emphasize. CHILDREN in a PRISON that USED TO BE A PLANTATION, with NO AIR CONDITIONING, in A HEAT INDEX OF ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE DEGREES. This country is a fucking death machine
BREAKING: Kids incarcerated at Louisiana's notorious Angola prison say they were locked in windowless cells with no air-conditioning for nearly 24 hours a day this month, as heat indexes in the area topped 133 degrees.

The Appeal's Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg has the story.

It took me forever to quit twitter because I kept hoping it wasn’t as bad as I could clearly see but now that I deactivated I’m shocked at the peace and relief I feel. I thought I’d be so sad but I had already grieved for what it was as it tumbled into the abyss.

We started fostering two kittens yesterday bringing our grand total of animals to 23 (16 chickens, 2 bunnies, 2 barn cats, a 9-month-old house kitten and 2 foster kittens), not including the bees. I would like to note that I did not get baby chicks this year, so I do have *some* self control.
