Fuck Trump

*Metering

Fuck Trump, and Mexico too, for going along with anything this psycho asks of them.

Don’t be willing executioners!

Give water, food, shelter, fucking kindness.

Do unto others!

#BeKind how hard is it?

“But when they reached our border, they found their way blocked by the Trump administration’s policy of “metering,” admitting only a small number of asylum seekers per day, leaving the rest to wait in hot, overcrowded Mexican camps for the chance to plead their case to American officials.

They decided to swim the Rio Grande instead. Martinez and Valeria made it safely across, but when Martinez headed back for his wife, little Valeria plunged into the water after him. He tucked her inside his T-shirt in the desperate, futile effort to save them both.”
