Tuesday

I'm still mulling it over. I'm not sure we were actually disagreeing. I certainly never claimed to be an expert. Maybe it seemed I was having some sympathy for the abusive guards? But I was questioning their humanity. And I'm sure it doesn't matter to victims who it was or why they hurt them. But systemic, state sanctioned and pervasive accounts of atrocities in that article out to be loudly called out. I fear all the horrible things ICE is doing too. I felt like I was attacked for criticizing the wrong country's government, as if ours is all good, and which didn't mean at all.

Editing to say, I forgot to say yes please, copy anything useful thing I wrote
