There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.
The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage.
Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

Trump can defeat or abuse you, but he can't take your dignity. To lose your dignity to Trump, you must give it to him voluntarily, which so many have been willing to do.

Trump's $4 billion Presidential windfall is unprecedented in scale & source.
Obama's wealth grew from royalties from books written before office, and Bush's largely came from a sports‑team stake from over a decade prior.

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."
