We went to a border detention center for children. What we saw was awful. “A second-grader we interviewed entered the room silently but burst into tears when we asked who she traveled with to the US. "My aunt," she said, with a keening cry. A bracelet on her wrist had the words "US parent" and a phone number written in permanent marker. We called the number on the spot and found out that no one had informed her desperate parents where she was being held. Some of the most emotional moments of our visit came witnessing children speak for the first time with their parents on an attorney's phone.” Read the whole fucking thing. If you’re an American, this shit is being done in your name.

“I’ll say it with great respect: Number one, she’s not my type. Number two, it never happened. It never happened, OK?” -- Donald Trump. Really? That’s your denial? She’s not your type.
