A musical Evening Prayer for these children tonight. My mom sang this to us as a lullaby. It is from the Hansel and Gretel opera by Englebert Humperdink. The brother and sister sing it together when they are lost in the woods. I know my mom is watching over these precious souls tonight- as many, many of us are.
R1- heads up, that link is broken.

The pinned post at the top of her twitter page contains the list of resources. Her team is putting together a spreadsheet which will be posted shortly. I'll port that link here when it arrives.
R1 <who is thinking very long thoughts about the Occupation of Norway by Nazis, and how disappointed her father would be that emigrating did not keep his child safe from Fascism--and wondering if her father had arrived in the US today, if she would have been ripped from his arms at Ellis Island>
This is the best sentence I have come across and sums everything up perfectly
"?? ???'?? ???? ???????? ???? ???'? ?? ?????? ???????, ??? ????????? ?? ????? ?????? ????????; ???'?? ????? ?? ????? ???."
Brandy, Perfect.
Zoron absolutely agrees. Huge uproar over ehre, in Uk, lots of bad press and TV news. ButTrump is still getting 40% in the polls, apparantly. Sigh.
Jeanne, thanks for the predictions re the Monsters on Trumps staff. I had got exactly the same insights as you, regarding his spokeswomen. She is coming apart at the seams. I think she will have a break down or worse. Trump has made a serious mistake here. Let us see what happens.
What a difference a day makes...it;'s been fascinating to see the turn around today from DT and other republicans repudiating this atrocious policy.
Last night was too much, and I've never seem news reporteRs literally break down reporting (Rachel Maddow) that now famous AP article about the babies or "tender age children" in camps. Thank you brave reporters, lawyers, volunteers, first ladies, and all the people going on TV speaking truth to power. This is what democracy looks like, we the people.
