Ms. Rachel is fighting to close an ICE facility in Texas that’s detaining children. She wants to “make sure that kids and their parents are back in their communities where they belong.”
“I am political. It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love and care, and that every child is equal, and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border,” she told NBC News.
Ms. Rachel recently had a video call with nine-year-old Deiver Henao Jimenez, who is detained at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in South Texas. The boy told her he “wants to leave and go to the spelling bee.”
“It was unbelievably surreal to see this sweet little face and feel like I was on a call with somebody who’s in jail. It broke me, and it was something I never thought I’d encounter in life,” she told the news outlet. “We’re trying to get a child out of a jail to do a spelling bee. I just never thought those words would go together.”
This is a awesome human.
How DARE she Believe that EVERY Child is Equal!
-Family Values Republicans who think they’re Going to Heaven!
Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Something tells me Jesus wouldn’t really like putting kids in concentration camps
I still don’t know who Ms. Rachel is, but everything I hear about her sounds incredibly based.
It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love and care, and that every child is equal, and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border.
It’s unfortunately only political because some people believe the opposite.
Ms Rachel could be Jesus honestly, I don’t mean that as a religious fanatic, she just acts a lot like I would imagine Jesus acted based on how people always talk at me about him.
If I was God and was considering sending an aspect of me down to Earth, I think I’d be inclined to send someone who didn’t look like Jesus, to reveal who are genuinely followers of Christianity
I agree! I was talking with my coworkers about Israel suing Ms. Rachel for antisemitism for speaking against genocide.
I joked, I’m not at all religious but if someone told me Ms. Rachel was the second coming of Jesus, I’d say, yea that tracks.
That or Greta Thunberg if Jesus was leaning more on the “Take No Shit From Power” vibes.
MAGA: “Keep politics out of kids shows! Mr. Rogers was never political!”
Mr. Rogers:
People who “don’t do politics” get fucked by politicians as they mess up every aspect of their daily living with their decisions. If you don’t do politics, politics do you.
Can we start putting this on billboards please?
It fucking shouldn’t be political to support kids - I hate this timeline
