Reaction from @leegelernt, lead lawyer in the ACLU's lawsuit against U.S. over separations: “That doctors are calling for serious accountability gives one a sense of just how historically brutal this policy was." — PolitiTweet.org

“Families should be consulted regarding the most appropriate means of repartition, including but not limited to a formal apology by the U.S. government, a pathway to permanent legal residence, monetary damages and prosecution of the officials who implemented this policy.” — PolitiTweet.org

Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff

Study’s authors conclude what they called “thoughtful reparations” are warranted for the families. “The resulting severe psychological harms, which were intentionally inflicted by the U.S. government, creates a moral imperative to assist this population, and to do so urgently." — PolitiTweet.org

Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff

Emphasized were enduring consequences of separation. “A six-year-old girl from Guatemala met criteria for PTSD one year after reunification... 8-year-old boy met criteria for PTSD and separation anxiety disorder two years after... Neither had exhibited these symptoms prior." — PolitiTweet.org

Findings were based on 31 affidavits of separated family members between July 2018 and December 2019 analyzed by researchers for @P4HR. The organization previously determined the Trump administration’s separations met “the legal definition of torture and temporary disappearance." — PolitiTweet.org

Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff

NEW: The first qualitative analysis of mental health effects of Trump's family separation policy, published today in medical journal @PLOSONE, determined it created long-lasting “severe psychological harms,” necessitating payouts for families and prosecution of Trump officials. — PolitiTweet.org

No settlement for separated migrant families amid criticism — via @AP. “What’s really an issue is the question of whether we as a country are OK with ripping babies out of the arms of their parents,” said @ConchitaCruz. https://t.co/DqAwWtJdLU — PolitiTweet.org

Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff

Was thrilled to go out in L.A. to support the incredible new doc from @msnbc_films and @JRart "Paper & Glue." (I definitely wasn't part of his entourage, also pictured.) The film is something special. Trailer below. See it in select theaters now or on @MSNBC 12/10/21. https://t.co/zQkLZeG17M — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s an absolutely horrible update to our story from September: the CDC said today overdose deaths in the United States surpassed 100,000 in a 12-month period for the first time. https://t.co/Pfo7Wrzspq — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: “Drug overdose deaths in the United States surpassed 100,000 in a 12-month period for the first time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday, a troubling milestone amid an already devastating period for the country.” More: https://t.co/Pfo7Wrzspq — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s more from @RalstonReports. Will share his conversation with Rachel when it’s online. — PolitiTweet.org

Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff

How it’s going: “Donald Kirk Hartle, a Republican, had claimed that someone voted in the 2020 election by using the mail-in ballot of his wife, who died in 2017. He now faces two counts of voter fraud.” https://t.co/fqwAaZVEiN — PolitiTweet.org

Watching @maddow, who just aired an important update to one of the weirdest moments of my career as a journalist — the day I covered the Trump campaign presser alleging widespread voter fraud in Nevada. How it started: https://t.co/osHzigZM4k — PolitiTweet.org
