Brilliantly devastating. Poignant. Heartbreaking. I am sobbing. @nytimes this is the most powerful #OpEd I have ever seen. I hear these words from the mouths of immigrant children in my clinic weekly and it’s so hard to describe what that feels like. This is what it sounds like.
I have heard nearly every phrase read in this piece. From children. Adolescents. Mothers. Fathers. Today. Yesterday. The day before that. Most days I lack the words to describe what I see and hear. The outrage. The sadness. The disbelief. The enormous systemic wrongdoing.
