WASHINGTON — Officers working for Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security initiative have been ordered to push small children and nursing babies back into the Rio Grande, and have been told not to give water to asylum seekers even in extreme heat, according to an email from a Department of Public Safety trooper who described the actions as “inhumane.”

    I’m so sick of allowing Republicans any kind of space in our society.

    Which includes lemmy and kbin. It would be nice if these fucks were instabanned.

    Miss me with the echo chamber bullshit these people have nothing to contribute and we all know it. Let’s stop pretending racist, homophobic trash has anything to say worth listening to, or interacting with.

      I’m with you but I’d throw Democrats in there too. Let’s stop pretending this mass murdering, warmongering, corporate owned trash is in any way importantly different.

    Crazy how the people that claim to be in Jesus’ fan club can completely miss his message of love and compassion. Guess they forgot about the Good Samaritan.

      There was a good comic that I saw that leveraged this hypocrisy. I cant remember enough to search for it, but basically it showed one of these people returning home to their child after harming an immigrant’s family (I think).

    At least one of them has a conscience. Texas you continue to reinforce my belief that you are a shitty place run by evil people. Jesus wept, these are human beings were talking about here.
