Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.
There is a family up here whom I've known for near thirty years. They've always had a rather unfriendly relationship with the truth. One of their children, now middle-aged, is running for office. He's holding an event in the area. I believe I have a moral obligation to publicly oppose his candidacy.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.
Footage shows Danish troops arriving in Greenland as part of a new military deployment. Among the personnel who landed on the island is Major General Peter H. Boysen, Chief of the Danish Army Command. #Greenland

the only moral action is to abolish ICE and punish those who are members of ICE
ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them. After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer." www.calonews.com/featured-top...

I’ve lost two close friends to this “rare” and wretched cancer. Let’s all help put a stop to it.
Today is #BrainCancerAwarenessDay in Canada. A dear friend Reid was diagnosed with glioblastoma in Feb. Photo of Reid & Luisa wearing #HatsForHope gear shared w/permission. From Luisa: "Thankfully, he’s been doing well so far. Let's bring more awareness to this terrible disease." www.braintumour.ca

TV Tropes is blocking access to the site not only if you have ad blockers on but location tracking off unless you want to subscribe to their $5 a month/$25 a year subscription plan. Even people who have turned their ad blockers off are reporting the site isn’t working. This all seems like a bad idea

Good to know that the Pentagon has significantly worse security measures then like… Marvel
Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years. Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism." Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error. Subscribe to support our journalism.

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history
Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts. We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Solidarity is the only way we get out of this. Well done.
NEW for @washingtonpost.com: Pentagon reporters exited the building in unison Wednesday after turning in their badges, having refused to sign the Defense Department's press policy. @nancyayoussef.bsky.social called it a “sad day for those who support a free press.”

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Dinner Tonight: Barley not-Soup This can be put together in advance as a mix that just needs water and a can of crushed tomatoes to turn it into a meal in 35 minutes. Mine simmered too high and became more like a risotto but it was still yummy. From this base: www.101cookbooks.com/meal-in-a-ja...

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.
Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted: When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.
