I figured this was worth sharing here.
"While this moment of crisis may have passed, consider this piece, at best, a requiem for a tragedy that has barely ended, if it has — and also a warning. The legacy of Guantánamo continues to haunt our laws, our imaginations, and our way of life. It’s time to do what we have failed to do for so long now.
Push back hard on the truly un-American policies spawned by that prison and apparent in so much else of Trump’s America. We need to do so now, before the way of life we once knew is largely erased. It’s time to insist on the right to bring up our children in an America of compassion, law and respect for the rights of all, not in one whose leaders are intent on robbing them — and so many other children — of their future."
