8-year-old Franklin of Guatemala was one of the first kids to get reunited with his parents after being separated at the U.S. border.

Separating innocent children from their parents is a Human rights violation and National emergency!

HEARTWRENCHING 💔

RETWEET THIS!
This "National Emergency" is ILLEGAL

United We Dream, MoveOn, Families Belong Together, Indivisible and Women's March will be in Washington DC tonight. If you can get there, get there.
Holocaust was legal. Slavery was legal. Segregation was legal.

People who stood up against these injustices broke the law & were criminalized.

Legality is not a guide for morality.

DO YOU HEAR THE CHILD???

There will never be an excuse good enough to ever justify this. EVER!
His father is asking for forgiveness.

"I missed you "
"I'm sorry forgive me"
repeating forgive me

This wasn't any of his fault but this child will forever live with this trauma and his father will forever feel guilty for it.

THIS IS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY

Flint residents still don't have CLEAN WATER. Families have to wait for hours to get clean water & not everybody waiting is even guaranteed of that. They are turned away once the supply runs out.

Clean water is a HUMAN RIGHT!

RETWEET FOR FLINT 💔
Yet we have billions for a wall?! Outrageous that this has been the reality of flint residents for over 4 YEARS!

We engage in illegal wars against other countries for their "human rights violations." What about this HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION?

(Also if you are here, follow me. ❤)
This is NOT a third world country. This is not normal. This is NOT OK!

People who live pay check to pay check sacrifice work hours to stand in these line so their children have clean water to drink. Struggling to put food and water on the table for their kids.

UNACCEPTABLE!

This little boy in the wheelchair is Wyatt.

He wanted to jump on a trampoline and TNT in North Dakota didn't say he can't or couldn't. They made it possible and made it happen.

He loved it and I LOVE THIS 😭

Retweet ❤️
Spending billions on a RACIST WALL when we could & should spend that money to make fun more accessible to children with disabilities. Investing in our parks & other areas where children go to have fun.

(Also if you are here, don't leave without following me. One Love ❤️)
This brought me joy and happiness. WE ALL NEEDED THIS. ❤️

A mom put a recorder on her daughter with special needs. What she caught the teachers saying is appalling.

Absolutely OUTRAGEOUS!

Every classroom that serves children should have CAMERAS especially those serving non-verbal children!

THIS IS NOT OK!

RETWEET THIS!
This is a nightmare. Horrifying! I am so outraged over this. My nephew has down syndrome and he is non verbal. If he is going through this type of abuse in SCHOOL, there is no way he could communicate that to us. That is frightening 😭
Sick to my stomach after watching this.

Teachers are not trained enough to deal with kids who are disabled. They require understanding, alot of patience, and alot of love.

These teachers need to be fired!

(Also you all, if you are here, follow me. Voice for change. ❤)

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇫🇷 First Minister @NicolaSturgeon is speaking now at France’s Assemblée Nationale.

📺 Watch it live here: videos.assemblee-nationale.fr/direct.7291686…
FM: It is an honour to be invited to this committee. As my remarks will make clear, Scotland and France are natural partners on many issues. In fact, one of the reasons for my visit to your great city was to launch, yesterday, the new Scottish Government office here in Paris.
FM: That is an important development for us. It represents a commitment, not only to France, but also to Scotland’s role as an outward facing European nation.

It also perhaps overdue. After all, France was the very first country to establish a consulate in Scotland.

UN Human Rights commissioner regarding US immigration policies:

"The thought that any State would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable."

In August, I traveled to Illinois to hang out with @LUnderwood630 and figure out why this 32-year-old nurse and Obama administration alumna is the first serious challenger Rep. Randy Hultgren has faced since being elected.

Here's my dispatch from IL-14:
refinery29.com/en-us/2018/10/…
IL-14 has historically been a Republican stronghold. @LUnderwood630's road to beating Rep. Hultgren includes: Appealing to educated suburban voters with middle-of-the-road policies and banking on the anti-Trump sentiment and damage to the local GOP brand. refinery29.com/en-us/2018/10/…
While others run on making history, @LUnderwood630 is not really leaning into how she could be the first Black person and first woman to represent IL-14. She loves inspiring girls of color, for sure, but says being from the district is what really matters. refinery29.com/en-us/2018/10/…

THREAD on new 9th Circuit decision in Rodriguez v. Swartz, our (@ACLUaz @sdACLU + @ACLU) cross-#border shooting case: On Oct. 10, 2012, a U.S. Border Patrol agent on duty in Nogales, AZ fired between 14 & 30 bullets across the #border. aclusandiego.org/wp-content/upl…
Approximately 10 of those bullets hit J.A. Rodriguez, a 16 year old boy peacefully walking down the street on the other side of the #border wall, in Nogales, Mexico.
The 9th Circuit opinion first *affirms* the AZ district court's decision denying Agent Swartz qualified immunity: 📢📢📢"It is inconceivable that any reasonable officer could have thought that he or she could kill J.A. for no reason." Slip Op. at 9.

“I simply cannot believe that my government could have done this to these people,” legal coordinator for a Texas nonprofit, under oath, on Trump’s family separation policy.

One of 900+ pages of declarations by attorneys, immigrants and others recently made public.

Thread.
“G and her mother said goodbye to each other while crying, but G’s mother comforted her, saying she was going to visit her wherever she was going. Only later did G realize this was not true.”

Declaration by an investigator inside Washington AG’s office.
“I have seen separated families struggle with the Office of Refugee Resettlement’s (ORR’s) requirements for reunification.”

Former employees are outraged that evangelical nonprofit Focus on the Family isn’t focusing on families at the border: slate.com/human-interest… via @slate
1) It really is important for us to engage journalists producing the meme that "many conservative Christian" leaders are now speaking out about the horrors taking place in the U.S. at present.

Those "conservative Christians" VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY for Trump.
2) They — a majority of white Christians across the board, in fact — set in motion what is now happening in front of our eyes. They CHOSE THIS through their votes.

Under these circumstances, while words denouncing what is happening are nice, they are cheap, aren't they?
