    Painful but necessary. This is far and away Trump's worst domestic policy and should be a blight on the American conscience.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1000189718758395907 …

        The semi-good news is that many of the lost children are actually in hands of family and have gone underground. but we don't know how many and some are really lost & in hands of human traffickers.

        How many of the 1,500 odd "lost" children are completely lost and will never be reunited with family. We don't know. We may never know. That's the scandal.

        Actually, Trump’s worst domestic policy is “Criminal Justice Reform” which is code for “get out of jail free” in the same way “Comprehensive Immigration Reform’’ is code for “amnesty” #DonTheCon

        Cool cool cool. Can we talk about how Indigenous babies are taken by the state here in Canada immediately after their birth? Or would that cause introspection that makes it harder to believe Canada is better than the US?
