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

Every single person that was involved in any way with what was done to this child - including the talking heads that lied about what was done and how he was used - should be burned at the stake.
Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

It is. The Jewish Musuem in Prague has a collection of children's drawings from the Terezin ghetto. It was the worst thing I've seen in my life.
“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
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. 🧵

When this is over, the stain on America--if it survives--will be comparable to that from slavery. And our future selves will look on us with the contempt we are earning.

I saw that when I read the ruling last year. It killed the American Republic; we're now just living in its twitching corpse. Whether we can build a new republic is an open question, since few people actually want one. They want their tribe to rule and for everyone else to live by its shibboleths.

It's almost as if putting "pragmatic business relationships" ahead of "ethical considerations" isn't, in the long term, pragmatic or even good for business.

BREAKING: Judge Patrick Schiltz cancels contempt hearing Friday where ICE chief Todd Lyons was to be forced to testify, but excoriates ICE for defying almost 100 court orders in last month. "ICE is not a law unto itself," Schiltz writes. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
