1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

📺 I’ll always love this story/event. One of many examples of Black creators having a HUGE impact on pop culture.
This episode took MILLIONS of viewers away from CBS during Super Bowl XXVI’s halftime to the point in which it forced the NFL to make big changes for Super Bowl halftime entertainment. 🏈

As a huge HZD fan this game really had me like damn, the ops (capitalism) got Horizon 😑
It took me a several moments watching the trailer to realize it was even Horizon related at all. It just feels like such a "we need our own Fornite/Overwatch/live-service-coop-thing" and man it bums me out 😔

Horizon Hunters Gathering looks like it could be a good time if one had friends.
But it's wild to see Destiny, Battle Royale and Overwatch smushed together into a Fortnite look with robot dinosaurs in 2026.

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

So many apps are deeply disrespectful about push notification permissions. Like you consent to being notified if someone directly messages you inside the app and suddenly your phone is lighting up with "Here's what Humphrey Dipshit has to say about Synergy" fuck off. Permission revoked.

Kudos to Mayor Mamdani.
This is what economic justice looks like.
And it's a reminder of how we can fight corporate greed at the state and local level. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/mamdani-ice-delivery-workers-settlement-backpay-uber-gig-workers-million/
