What the actual HELL is happening here?

I am sitting here sobbing, watching video after video of them taking CHILDREN, CHILDREN! How is this happening? This is real life people! How is this happening?

I feel so helpless. What is wrong with these people?!?!

How can they do this? I am so sad that there are so many horrible, evil, hateful people in our country.

I am fortunate enough, for now, to live in a community that this isn’t happening in, for now, but I read the comments on our town’s social media group and am horrified that my neighbors could be so callous, so full of hate. That they can somehow refuse to believe their own eyes.

I wake up every morning dreading turning on the TV and yet needing to see what new atrocity has occurred. I have always loved my country. I even loved the little town I live in in the Midwest, but more and more I find myself whispering, crying, sometimes yelling, I hate it here! I hate where we live! I hate that this is who we are now! This is what people see us as now!! I’m horrified, I’m ashamed.

I am so thankful for all those who are standing up against this. I’m standing with you from here and I hope when it comes to my town, and it will come, that I am as brave as all of you.

Now, I’m going to go practice blowing my whistle. What will you do when they come for your neighbor? For you?
