If there is any part of you that thinks that the type of trauma this is causing these babies is justifiable for political or ideological reasons, I rebuke you.
At judgment day, if you support this in any way, I will be there to testify against you before god. I’m not kidding.
This is monstrous to a degree you might not understand. But when I see these kids, or hear of them in camps, I immediately see the future adults they will become because of this—the ones that will be broken. Homeless. Addicted. Wounded in the most terrible way humans can be wounded: the damaging of attachment bonds (aka the ripping apart of families). I see them grown up, broken, in my therapy office because of the severe attachment wounds they received that will haunt them their entire lives—and those would be the lucky ones that make it through alive, that make it INTO my office.
Make no mistake, if you voted for Trump, you had your hand in causing this and I rebuke you. You had your hand in LITERALLY ruining thousands of human lives. Justify it however you want: that little girl right there should have left school to go home to her parents. Instead she is in an actual nightmare she may well never recover from. Look at her crying, ignoring that pizza. I can just feel her gnawing terror as her parents don’t pick her up from school, slowly understanding her life is forever altered. I ache for her heartbreak. And she is one on thousands. THOUSANDS. Real lives. Real humans. Real deaths. Thousands and thousands in actual camps. Right now. Happening.
This is real.
If you voted for Trump and you are not actively doing something to correct your mistake, I rebuke you. I will stand before god and bear witness to your cruelty. And any defense you imagine for yourself at that day will fall flat, and children’s deaths (of soul and of body) will cry out against you.
May this post go down in its tiny place in history as the demarcated day in which I have spoke out against anyone within my reach, anyone I know and love, who has supported this monstrosity against an entire race and culture, against real men and women, and against children.
And if you voted for Donald Trump and thus helped usher in this nightmare for our LatinX brothers and sisters (documented or not, this affects the entire LatinX community), may you do all in your power to correct your mistake and make amends to these people you have harmed. May you donate money to charities trying to help, or the ACLU. May you vote for WHOEVER runs against Trump in 2020 in order to rectify this grave, undeniable wrong against humanity that you participated in.
If you do not, I rebuke you. By the spirit of God within me—within us all—I call you to repentance.
Let it be known I will stand in advocacy of the people you are harming so that you can justify your cheap feelings of “security” or political gain.
And let it be known I will stand as witness against you at the judgment bar of God. And he will not be moved by whatever weak, tribal political or ideological justifications you use to defend yourself, or whatever pathetic blame you try to cast on others, including the victims themselves.
The tears and pains and deaths of these children will cry out loudly and plainly against you, and will drown out your paltry protests, and you will be swallowed by your immense, undeniable
guilt, and I and many many others will witness against you, and you will wish to hide your immense shame, you will wish to be swallowed up by the Earth itself.
But in that day, there will be nowhere to hide.
So let it be written.
