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.
