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.
MSNBC
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.
The people who are far away claiming that an amazing job is underway or the people on the ground who are living through this unending, dangerous nightmare?

Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz of Puerto Rico’s capital city, San Juan, talks with Rachel Maddow about the desperate situation in her city and in Puerto Rico broadly, and expresses her frustration with an administration that is slow to deploy eager helpers.
~Self-indulgent Trump embraces the permanent campaign~
If it seemed as if Trump was returning to campaign mode yesterday, December 1,there’s a good reason. Indeed, the problem is that Trump never actually left campaign mode.
But there doesn’t appear to be anything in the American tradition similar to what Donald Trump did yesterday:
he held a public rally for the purpose of celebrating himself, his election victory, and all the amazing things he intends to do once he takes office.
I really believe in trying to increase the amount of useful information in the world and in being accurate in the sense that you can take what I say to the bank, even if you disagree with me.
New Spanish-language TV ad in Arizona designed to boost Hispanic voter registration
A first-of-its-kind media campaign launches in Arizona on Wednesday, August 31, in hopes of boosting Hispanic voter registration to historic highs
A new public service announcement co-produced by the state’s largest Spanish-language television and radio stations is set to air roughly 2,500 times through Election Day on Univision and Telemundo television stations and will feature DJ’s and talk show hosts from some of the state’s most popular Spanish-language radio stations, according to organizers.
The campaign is the brainchild of Mi Familia Vota, a nonpartisan voter registration group that is seeking to register roughly 95,000 new Latino voters in six states this year.
While volunteers are rounding up new registrants in California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada and Texas, Arizona is seen as the crown jewel of the effort this year.
That’s because no other state has been on the front lines of the years-long immigration policy fights and Hispanic leaders are eager to demonstrate their community’s growing political clout in the state.
No matter how a new voter registers, Mi Familia Vota is hoping to boost the numbers with its new ad campaign, which stars Spanish-language television and radio news anchors and morning talk show hosts.
The ad begins with anchors asking whether the viewer is 18 or older and registered to vote. It reminds the viewer that voter registration continues in Arizona through Oct. 10.
“We are extremely proud of our Latino media partners,” said Ben Monterroso, executive director of Mi Familia Vota. “They are making history in an already historic election by continuing to help build political power for the Latino community.”
The campaign is backed by Azteca America; the Phoenix and Tucson affiliates of Univision and Telemundo; Univision-owned radio stations Que Buena 105.9 FM, Mas Variedad 106.3 FM and Latino Mix 100.3 FM; Contacto Total, a Phoenix-area radio station; stations owned by Entravision Radio, including La Tricolor 103.5 FM, Jose 106.9 and 107.1 FM & ESPN 710 AM; Mary Rabago Productions LLC; Mujeres Unicas LLC; Onda 1190-AM; Prensa Hispana; Teleritmo; and UniMás Arizona.

As we all know by now, a Trump rally in Chicago that was cancelled on Friday, March 11, 2016.
The presidential candidate has stated that the event was cancelled because of fear of people being hurt.
Much more information and comments have come after that incident.
I already posted something related to this event.
However, I’m covering this event again because I found Rachel Maddow’s presentation from Friday night which shows how the atmosphere and the animus of the general public came to this.
Please, bear with me.
As I looked through the blogs I follow, Trump seems to be the topic of the day.
I’ve told myself that I won’t dedicate time to this clown yet, here I am again. Doing precisely what I didn’t want to do.
My main reason and intention is to show Rachel Maddow’s presentation:
“of a timeline of Donald Trump’s comments at rallies that have stoked hostility and incited violence by his supporters against protesters, leading to chaos after a canceled rally in Chicago.”

Rachel Maddow’s Flint Town Hall Was Television Journalism At Its Finest
Rachel Maddow put on a display of what cable news is truly capable of with a fantastic town hall discussion about the water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
Maddow’s town hall was the anti-cable news. There were no raging talking heads placing political blame. Instead, there was a master plumber describing in detail the cost and effort that it will take to replace all of the lead pipes in the city.
(Total cost for each home roughly $10,000, and there are 30,000 homes in Flint.)
The town hall was not a political blame game, or an emotional plea for help.
In true Maddow fashion, the discussion from Flint was focused on the crisis and how it can be fixed. For instance, the doctor who discovered the elevated blood levels in the children of Flint, Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, discussed the resources that these kids may need and how the parents and the community can come together to give the kids that were exposed the best possible outcomes.
Rachel Maddow’s town hall featured the best experts on the Flint crisis talking about what has happened and what needs to be done.
It was telling that Gov. Rick Snyder was asked to appear at the town hall, but he never responded to Maddow’s invitation.
Maddow reminded viewers that thanks to Gov. Snyder’s city manager in Flint, the responsibility for the poisoning of a city rested with the governor and state officials, not the local politicians. Obviously, Rick Snyder knew that his bogus and untruthful buck passing to the people of Flint would not hold up under questioning, so he avoided Rachel Maddow at all costs.
The one to first brake it and continue investigating the horror that the citizens in Flint were exposed to was Rachel Maddow.
In true form, her special reports and follow up made the story a concern for mainstream media which had ignored the poisoning of a city of 100,000 + citizens in the name of saving money for the state.
The Flint water crisis is an ongoing drinking water contamination crisis in Flint, Michigan, in the United States
In 2014, the City of Flint switched its water supply from the City of Detroit (which had supplied it for nearly half a century) to the Flint River. The move was an effort to save costs. It was viewed as a temporary fix prior to an ultimate switch to a permanent Flint water supply, which would be provided after the Karegnondi Water Authority‘s construction of a pipeline from Lake Huron, thereby eliminating Flint’s long-time dependence on Detroit city water.
After the change in water source, the city’s drinking water had a series of issues that culminated with lead contamination, creating a serious public health danger. The corrosive Flint River water caused lead from aging pipes to leach into the water supply, causing extremely elevated levels of lead. As a result, between 6,000 and 12,000 residents had severely high levels of lead in the blood and experienced a range of serious health problems. The water change is also a possible cause of an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in the county that has killed 10 people and affected another 77.
On November 13, 2015, four families filed a federal class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in Detroit against Governor Rick Snyder and thirteen other city and state officials, and three separate people filed a similar suit in state court two months later. Separately, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan and the Michigan Attorney General’s office opened investigations.
On January 5, 2016, the city was declared to be in a state of emergency by the Governor of Michigan, before President Obama declared the crisis as a federal state of emergency, authorizing additional help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Homeland Security less than two weeks later.
When the city of Flint, Michigan, wanted to cut costs, they switched water systems. But that decision had big consequences, leading to the poisoning of the water and the declaration of a state of emergency.
~~Flint Water Crisis: Michigan Officials Request Federal Aid~~
~~Published on Jan 15, 2016~~
As if the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, wasn’t bad enough, health officials are now investigating a spike of severe pneumonia cases – possibly linked to the toxic water.
TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE
Three government officials – one from the City of Flint and two from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality – resigned over the mishandling of the crisis, and Snyder issued an apology to citizens.
I have been following this story since Rachel Maddow brought it to the forefront before any news outlet, program, shows or journalists were getting involved in this topic.
The decisions made by the “emergency managers” in the city of Flint, selected by Governor Snyder, have confirmed a high-jacking of democracy in that state.
They have virtually done irreversible harm to the children of the city of Flint. I was waiting for any action or response from Mr. Michael Moore.
Here it is.
He doesn’t disappoint!
Michael Moore says
““You have effectively poisoned, not just some, but apparently ALL of the children in my hometown of Flint, Michigan. And for that, you have to go to jail.”
Please take a look. It happened there, it could happen anywhere.
We, the undersigned, call upon you to investigate and, if warranted, arrest and prosecute the Governor of Michigan, Rick Snyder, for violating the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulations in cutting off clean drinking water to the city of Flint and making the citizens, instead, drink polluted water from the Flint River; for fraud and political corruption; and for covering up the criminal actions of his administration.
The children of Flint, already amongst the poorest in the U.S., will now have to endure a life of pain, irreversible brain damage and lower IQ’s because of Governor Snyder’s actions. There is no way to totally reverse the effects of lead in a child’s blood stream.
At the very least, justice must be served — and other elected officials must be put on notice, by the actions you will take against the Governor, that people’s lives are more important than balancing a budget.
