WATCH: Children separated from their parents during the Holocaust speak out about the trauma it has caused. How can anyone defend such inhumane policies? https://t.co/YjxQzAQ2s8 #FamiliesBelongTogether

As I watch republicans rage about Dreamers - who do much to help us - and cheer separating children from their families to lock them in cages, I finally accept reality:

The illegal immigration debate is not about illegal immigration. It's about people who want America whiter.

THREAD: Family separation has to end, but family detention is not the answer. No child should ever be locked up, period. #KeepFamiliesTogether #NoChildDetention

You pulled your advertising after Ingraham made fun of a teenage school shooting survivor, then you went back. Now she’s calling children kept in cages after being separated from their parents “summer camp”.

Your move, @AceHardware. Do you really still support this? https://t.co/TL8bFbOmcC

[EduCommotion @EduCommotion]

Yes! In #2018, each and every teacher (including me!) should be examining their practice to determine how to better and more thoughtfully include texts and information from a variety of authors, cultures, belief systems, etc. etc. etc. https://t.co/3QxOIji1lQ

I hope this year you get to paint and write and read and dance without having to worry about health or money, that you love deeply and resist bravely and stand strong against tyrants and abusers and never stop asking questions and that you are always, just always amazed by beauty
