“My family has been very blessed. And we know that we are all brothers. What God gives us, we should share. But we do it with a lot of love” … “This is a poor town, but we still did all this” … “Today it’s them. Tomorrow it could be us.” While President Trump sends more troops to the border to defend against the caravan of migrants, a small town in Mexico is responding differently: With tarps, tortillas, and medicine. From WaPo: Mexicans shower the caravan with kindness.

+ Escalating efforts to demonize the caravan are in full swing with real troops headed to the border to protect us from an imaginary threat, and President Trump indicating that the military may fire on migrants who throw rocks. (They’re about a thousand miles away, so they’ll need a really good arm…)

+ It’s all politics, right? So why does it matter? We’re talking about a guy who has made 6,420 false or misleading claims over 649 days. What’s the point of taking the bait and getting upset about yet another hollow declaration based on an invented set of circumstances? There are plenty of answers to that question. Here’s one: Nigeria’s army just used Trump’s comments about shooting at rock throwing migrants to justify the killing of 45 protesters.
