This past week has seen the worst of an American President in modern history and the best of America’s free press. From MSNBC’s almost non-stop coverage of the child abuse inherent in Trump’s policy to incarcerate children and take infants as young as three months old from their immigrant parents at the U.S. southern border to ProPublica’s release of the stunning tape recording of crying, traumatized children calling out for their “Moma” and “Papa” inside a “tender age” detention center, to searing newspaper editorials and OpEds, it has been a week where we can take courage from the fact that America’s press cannot be bullied into the cult-like submission to Trump that has engulfed so many of the Republican members of Congress.

Above and below, we highlight three of the media graphics that have accompanied this invigorated search for America’s soul in the face of this cruelty to children.
