ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Besided the fact Obama pioneered the separating families & concentration camps policy, it is very telling that these folks do not see the act of deportation as violence or a death sentence, as if poor, persecuted, working people could be uprooted & discarded without anything bad happening to them.
Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from.

We'll let their words speak for themselves.

Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

I regularly think about how, in 2017 when nine women accused Israel Horovitz of sexual assault, his son Adam responded like this:

"I believe the allegations against my father are true, and I stand behind the women that made them."

I feel that is still more wishful thinking than a reality, Bluesky is not even close to Science Twitter in the heydays of 2015-2021 & there’s still way more science action on evil Twitter than on benevolent Sky. But I’m willing to keep trying.
And it keeps improving (drafts are a great addition)
Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!

"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

This, in general, is just so sad to me.

Trainees try so hard with QI projects, but it's their uncompensated work that makes the intervention work. Without it, everything falls back into baseline crappiness.
Every QI project someone comes up with that involves the EMR goes nowhere, because it's an act of congress to change anything in it and even if you do, it's not an efficient and useful way of doing things.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

"So our ability to access ... white food ... is being erased?"
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
