ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

56% of people in state prisons have a mental health problem, yet only 26% have received professional help

Prisons & jails are not made to accommodate serious mental health needs, yet the system continues to respond to mental illness like it’s a crime

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

Google Trends searches over the past week for Army Emergency Relief, which tries to help soldiers and their families, who will soon be missing paychecks. Government shutdowns affect real people who don't view this as a game.

The "interest over time" contains a couple small bumps before the middle of the week but is largely unchartably low. It's been rising to the top, and shows only a gap at 3 a.m., with a lot of search traffic at 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. The time zone is not indicated.
