| Gun violence hasn’t been in the news much anymore, as the crisis on the border with interned children continues and media turned its eye towards Trump’s visit to the UK. But a story this week brought the issue back into focus for me – mostly because of how everyday it is. | Gun violence hasn’t been in the news much anymore, as the crisis on the border with interned children continues and media turned its eye towards Trump’s visit to the UK.

| This is such horseh*t. Last weekend I was part of a group volunteering in TX with families who had been released by ICE. Every single child we saw was sick. One baby hadn't had a diaper change in four days. (Asterix because, you know, civility.) https://t.co/43Zk72sOmt | This is such horseh*t.
