1/ Miles Taylor is no resistance hero. He was an active facilitator of the separations of thousands of boys and girls from their parents who is now whitewashing his own reputation.

2/ Miles Taylor propagated the myth that the moms and dads arriving at the border were not in fact parents.
Don't take my word for it. Here's the stories he solicited for Secretary Nielsen to use for this, and a link to his email soliciting them. documentcloud.org/documents/6881…

3/ When the full horror of family separations began to emerge, Miles Taylor did not denounce them. Instead, he sent Kirstjen Nielsen talking points to argue that the administration was actually *protecting* children.

4/ Despite his clear role in family separations, Miles Taylor parlayed his former DHS role into a plum position @Google. When Google staff protested, Google fired *them.*
Don't take my word for it, take it from the guy who got fired, @laurenceb: buzzfeednews.com/article/lauren…

5/ Despite his clear role in family separations, Miles Taylor then secured regular speaking gigs on TV and eventually a regular spot @CNN.
When people called him out on what he did, he lied. Take it from @jacobsoboroff, who has receipts.

6/ Miles Taylor is just the first in a wave of Trump officials who will soon tell us that they tried to stop it, they were the good guys on the inside.
Wait until you read their emails.
Meanwhile, everyone @Google + @CNN: You're working with an architect of family separation.

7/ Palantir, Rod Rosenstein, Miles Taylor: If you see a pattern, I do too:
- Evidence emerges that a person or company was complicit in family separations
- They issue a baseless denial
- Everything goes on as if nothing happened
Where's the shame? Where's the accountability?

8/ Friends @Google:
Your company cannot claim to support civil rights in technology if it continues to employ someone who was demonstrably complicit in the worst human rights abuse against Latinx people since Operation Wetback.
You are better than this.
