First Dog on the Moon (does 'on' get capitalized?) is fun, which is very important these days. Loved 'country'. Manus Island is heartbreaking. What is the official function? Is it for refugees waiting for asylum hearings?
Right now, zero tolerance seems to be not allowing people to even ask for asylum. Plus language is a barrier http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-mayan-indigenous-languages-20160725-snap-story.html
The tragedy and outrage is the US hand in destabilizing Central America. Trump loves to blame the victim. As does Stephen Miller.
