This is who federal agents are ripping out of their communities and shipping across the country. This is the danger we're being protected from.

This is absolutely what struck me as a parent of young kids. There's so much love invested into each of these little things, and here it's just ripped away.

Liam’s mom dressed him in all those layers to keep her little boy warm and safe in this frigid weather, packed his book-bag w/ everything he’d need for a good day at school, and then our govt stole him out of their driveway. Used her little boy as bait. These people are monsters.

This is how Ta-Nehisi Coates described the loss to a family of a young man killed by police. It echoes here, too.

I just picture Liam with his mom or dad, picking out that cool Spider-Man backpack, maybe his first, as he was excitedly getting ready to go back to school.

It’s heartbreaking. And now the regime is trying to say they rescued him because he was “abandoned” by his parents. It’s so effing disgusting. The cruelty, the lies, the disparagement.

My son is smaller and paler, and also has an Irish name beginning with L despite living outside Ireland. He looks very much like that when we lovingly wrap him up warm to go out in what passes for the cold here. It breaks me up every time.
