Rachel Maddow shares an exclusive look at the first non-government video from inside a facility that serves children who have been taken from their parents by the Drumpf administration’s “zero tolerance” border policy.

A former employee at the Cayuga Centers facility in East Harlem has leaked footage of herself comforting a tearful migrant girl longing for her mother.
The child – taken from her mother in April – weeps into her arm as an unidentified staffer can be heard coaxing out of her what happened to her family at the U.S.-Mexico border. The heartbreaking clip aired Monday night on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” and is one of the first candid looks from inside a federally-funded charity tasked with caring for migrant children, some of whom were taken from their families while crossing the border.
Who could use which bathroom was always only a distraction … something to keep attention away from all the truly damaging things contained in North Carolina’s HB2.
The right of local jurisdictions to set their own minimum wage?
Gone
The right for employees to directly sue their employer for discrimination?
Gone
The right to not be discriminated against because of your sexual orientation?
Gone
The right to file a civil action against the contents of this law?
“No person may bring any civil action based on the public policy expressed herein.”
Gone
There is so much to be outraged about in this bill, in so many bills that pass through our state houses. Bathroom privileges are the tip of the iceberg, designed to attract our attention away from the truly destructive power that lies beneath the surface.
They retracted the suing for discrimination and because of sexual orientation, but that was all.
The rest stayed and that is why the whole thing needs to be retracted.
There is a sign on the NC/SC line that states
“Welcome to North Carolina, where the laws have set the state back 100 years.”

BOONE, N.C. (WBTV) – Students at Appalachian State University are protesting against House Bill 2. It’s the latest round of protests against the bill that has put North Carolina firmly in the national spotlight.
“As it appears in … full read/full credit/full information
“The power of his pounce
Is governed by both his strength
Of spirit and the honesty
With which he meets the earth
For he owns all of his own pain
And paces and growls to warn
Away any who seek to steal his fresh kill
And diminish him with pretty lies
For he owns all his space
As it feeds his strength
As somewhere in the fury of feasting
Lionesses and Lions
We find our freedom
For his power explodes like a volcano
When his soul meets the earth
As he shakes off all avoidance
To seek only truth
As streaks of white light
And pure Gold glisten in the SUN
As the world’s projections
Reflect and bounce off him
There is so much to learn
From a beautiful LION.”

Tribute to lions with song He Lives In You. The song matches the clips and pics perfectly. It focuses mainly on adult male lions and their cubs.
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you
Choked-Up Jon Stewart Says He Can’t Tell Jokes After Charleston Massacre Too much to handle for the funnyman.
“I have one job, and it’s a pretty simple job,” Jon Stewart said on “The Daily Show” on the night after the #CharlestonShooting “I come in in the morning, and we look at the news and I write jokes about it.”
But that’s not what happened last night.
What follows is a heartfelt appeal to America on the issue of race and our strangely inconsistent application of outrage. He noted that two wars and trillions were spent to fight a force far less dangerous that domestic shootings and American racial terror — Islamic radicalism. He would go on to highlight some of the lower-level forms of abuse, from the confederate flag over South Carolina to the residual heritage of slavery.
“We have roads named after confederate generals.
Black people have to drive on roads named after those who would prevent them from driving.
That’s insanity.” As America renews its debate over the use of Confederate imagery,and its pernicious effects on black society, his point is an urgent one, indeed.

‘This was a terrorist attack’
~~Published on Jun 18, 2015~~
The Daily Show host Jon Stewart has slammed America’s response to the mass shooting in a South Carolina church, predicting that nothing would be done in the wake of a “terrorist attack” that left nine people dead.
In a sombre opening to a show he promised would contain no jokes, Stewart said some people were already working hard to discount the idea that racism was the motive behind the massacre.
Prior to introducing his guest – Nobel peace prize-winner Malala Yousafzai – Stewart told viewers: “I have nothing other than just sadness that once again we have to peer into the abyss of the depraved violence that we do to each other, and the nexus of a just gaping racial wound that will not heal but we pretend doesn’t exist.
“I’m confident, though, that by acknowledging it, by staring into that and seeing it for what it is, we still won’t do jackshit.
“Yeah. That’s us.”
The reluctance to label domestic shootings of this kind as terrorism, he went on, led to what he called a “disparity of response between when we think people that are foreign are going to kill us and us killing ourselves”.
“If this had been what we thought was Islamic terrorism … we invaded two countries and spent trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives, and now fly unmanned death machines over, like, five or six different countries …
“Nine people. Shot in a church. What about that?
Eh. What are you gonna do?
Crazy is as crazy is, right?”
The media response had been too slow to acknowledge the culture that made such violence possible, Stewart said: “I heard someone on the news say, a tragedy has visited this church. This wasn’t a tornado. This was racist. This was a guy with a Rhodesia badge on his sweater … This one is black and white. There’s no nuance here.
“And we’re going to keep pretending: I don’t get it, what happened, there’s one guy lost his mind. We are steeped in that culture in this country and we refuse to recognize it, and I cannot believe how hard people are working to discount it.”
Stewart pointed to what he called the “racial wallpaper” of South Carolina, where a confederate flag continues to be flown within the grounds of the capitol building: “The confederate flag flies over South Carolina. And the roads are named for confederate generals.
“And the white guy’s the one who feels like his country’s being taken away from him.”
