Learning to adult in a world that deserves child-like wonder

Laura Bush, invoking the stain of Japanese internment camps on our history, also notes that social workers with children snatched from their parents by U.S. officials are instructed not to touch or pick them up to comfort them. https://t.co/tdU5kalpMy

"The thought that any state would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable," said the United Nations high commissioner for human rights

Cages, stressed agents, uncertain detainees and only four contracted social workers. Our latest — from inside the epicenter of family separations. https://t.co/LhLeQqmYph

Detention center employees have covered the window with paper to block our view. The supervisor is attempting to justify it. We are still being denied access.

Children must be able to play, study and grow in a peaceful environment. Woe to anyone who stifles their joyful impulse to hope!

1) Call your reps at [phone]- tell them to END the separation of families at the border (ask your Senators to pass the Keep Families Together Act and your House Rep to pass the HELP Separated Children Act).

[John McCain @SenJohnMcCain]

The administration’s current family separation policy is an affront to the decency of the American people, and contrary to principles and values upon which our nation was founded. The administration has the power to rescind this policy. It should do so now.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Each month, more than 50 American women are shot and killed by current or former intimate partners. As we demand our leaders finally take on this epidemic of mass shootings, we can’t ignore the connection between domestic abuse and gun violence.

"Ophelia [Dahl] told me that pessimism is the worst possible expression of privilege. Because then you're basically writing off millions of people who simply can't afford to think that way." https://t.co/Gy6PFYz1co

[John McCain @SenJohnMcCain]

To our allies: bipartisan majorities of Americans remain pro-free trade, pro-globalization & supportive of alliances based on 70 years of shared values. Americans stand with you, even if our president doesn’t.

What the world needs is a coordinated global approach to pandemics that will work regardless of whether the next pandemic is a product of humans or of nature. We need better tools, an early detection system, and a global response system. -@BillGates https://t.co/IY6IbxLxGz

“Men have to be on board. You can change women all you want — if you don’t change men, nothing changes. Because we share the world.”
