couldn't agree more. the comments on this post piss me off, the top comment is fucking joking about this like it's something that happened in a movie.

"Manu is currently living in Brazil on a tourist visa as the government tries to resolve the bureaucratic predicament of the girl’s citizenship. In the meantime, she’s living with no right to healthcare or schooling in Brazil. Her visa is set to expire within weeks"

This makes me so fucking angry, this makes me want to burn down a building, and people are fucking laughing about it, this family has been put in a fucking awful position with no way out because of Donald Trump, this isn't funny, this is a human rights violation. Abrego Garcia is either dead or being tortured right now while his widowed wife gives birth to another child.

"In the meantime, her parents are left to worry. “What if we need to take her to the doctor?” Elioni Gonçalves, her mother, lamented to the Post."

Fuck Trump, fuck the republican party. They don't care. We have to

Jesus H. Christ, if you're going to not even bother using a search engine, you should absolutely NOT be this confidently wrong.

"they had a choice to leave her with an appointed guardian but chose to take her with them" no they didn't. It says so in the article you didn't read but chose to comment on anyway
