As usual, Donald Trump is at the root of the mess. From the minute he entered the 2016 presidential race on a golden escalator in a building blaring his name, U.S. politics has been a twisted reality show that elevates outrage, insults, and cruelty in a spirit of sadistic fun."

Interesting finding. People do want to be the ones in the upper food chain. Not really surprised. #Humans are just not intelligent enough to recognise that there is no need for #animal #cruelty food.

What on Earth is happening here? Are we seeing an increase in such cruelty to children on the part of parents, or is there simply more reporting of such cases?

Will Bunch writes that the young man who drowned in the Rio Grande the first week of August due to Greg Abbott's buoy barrier had a name:
Norlan Bayardo Herrera.
But he adds,
"If I had waited on the American mainstream media to write about the human beings lost to the barbaric policies of the governor of the nation’s second-largest state, I would still be waiting."

"There are few things more terrifying than demagogic populism, sharpened dangerously into authoritarian rule, with minorities left at the mercy of those now in charge of writing and enforcing the laws. Yet that is precisely what is happening across much of Red State America today."

As David Badash reports, House Republicans are defending the barbaric razor-wire barrier Greg Abbott has placed in the Rio Grande, because Bible.
You knew they'd go there, right? The same way old Jeff Sessions went there to defend the barbaric separation of children form parents at the border.
They imagine they own the Bible and God. And we don't. Their whole shtick is premised on that claim.

"The idea for such a device [i.e., Greg Abbott's buoy barrier in the Rio Grande, now found to have circular saw blades embedded in it] is not new. The Trump administration considered such a scheme to deter crossings as well, but it ultimately decided against it.
For good reason:"
