Corrected Post: I’ve Never Cried Writing A Piece Before

Today I’m working on a hard piece for The Big Picture. I say “hard” because what is happening in ICE detention centers across the country is infuriating, devastating and heartbreaking, especially when I read about the children held inside them. The tears came as I wrote, but they were hot ones, filling me with a sense of purpose and determination. I can’t imagine what I would be going through if these were my own children held there.

George Takei, who spent his childhood in U.S. concentration camps, often told me he hoped never again in his life to see them on U.S. soil. Yet here we are today, with tens of thousands of innocents once more trapped inside.

I ask you not to look away and to read my piece and its warning. We are soon heading into an even darker place thanks to a recent, devastating ruling out of the Fifth Circuit in Texas. We need to understand what we’re up against, and what we can do to slow and one day end the mass detention / industrial complex that the Trump regime and its cronies are building.

My piece comes out later this afternoon. If you’re already subscribed to The Big Picture, you’ll see it in your inboxes. If you’re not yet subscribed, this is an important time to do so.

I’ll see you back here tomorrow with my regular installment of The Status Kuo.
