      And @NYTimes reveals just how far the indifference to basic humanity goes.

          Hey Dr. Did you read the article? If you did, you'll notice that all that growth occurred under Obama's watch. And you're the guy that's going to solve all this? You got to do your homework first doctor

          If the Trump Administration thinks the funding of Southwest Key is such a travesty, why doesn’t it threaten to defund it like everything else? 🤷🏻‍♂️

          Why are you asking me? BTW, cute meme in your other tweet. Reminds me how previous administration blamed everything on Bush. Do you notice a pattern?

          Brought it up because you seem to be implying that the current family separation crisis and subsequent human rights violations by our own government are somehow created by Obama?

          Did you look at the graph in article Gawande shared about ‘Detaining immigrant kids is now a billion-dollar industry?’ Look the dates along the bottom. To be clear, I am stating (not implying) that current crisis did not start with current admin. But go ahead, blame away.

          I really hate to put it this way, but if you invested in an MRI you’re gonna make sure ROI is met. No different here. Question always are, “What’s the intent?

          Not sure where to look for this, but is any advocacy group considering filing suit under the Alien Tort Claims Act for a violation of international law? Class action?

          Maybe I’m misunderstanding. I don’t think it’s *indifference to humanity* I think it’s *intentional cruelty* They pick the worst methods to hurt these children’s minds: lack of comfort and touch
