I am deeply concerned about Liam and every child at the Dilley Detention Center.

No parent should have to worry about whether their child is eating, getting medical care, or deteriorating in detention.

What I saw was alarming — and unacceptable. Liam must be released immediately.

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..."

Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis.
Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Liam is in ICE custody and his health is deteriorating.

Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago.

"You can’t bring 'transparency and accountability' to an organization whose agents defiantly wear masks while openly threatening citizens with deadly violence. More training won't help. The problem is the organization itself. Ending ICE is what will make Americans safer." — @playtyperguy.com
'Abolish ICE' is imperative
It's also better politics than you might think.

I work at Moffett Field, a former Naval air base ~5 miles from the site of Super Bowl 60. We’ve been advised to work from home next week because DHS is using Moffett to fly in & “stage equipment”. Not sure if ya’ll already knew this, but sounds like they’re gonna show up in force on game day.

Melt the Ice Knitted Hats are up to 3,118 finished projects on Ravelry.

Knitters have posted 717 hats since yesterday.
About 60 hours ago, the Melt the Ice pattern in Ravelry had less than 300 projects finished.

As of 2:30 today, there are 2,401 completed, knitted hats—no telling how many people PURCHASED the pattern. Proceeds benefit immigrant aid funds.

In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal...

After 14 years of Tories, but over decades from the time of Thatcher, they ran Britain in favour of the rich and greedy.

Hard to undo overnight, and maybe it will take a few years yet to overcome the extent of poverty and injustice the Tories created.

Now they're morphing into #ReformUK

Total hypocrite, greasing the pole behind her as she climbs up it
Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates).

She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger.

She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked.

Horrible.

It's always looks like a coordinated campaign to harry the Labour government and keep it to one term at the most. Accentuate the negative, bury the positive.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.

It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.

Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

I want a Farage investigated.

He needs to come clean on Iranian & Russian dodgy donations. He needs to own up on how his girlfriend bought his house. He needs to tell us why his foot soldier’s in jail for Russian bribes apparently obeying his orders.

I know I keep writing about this,but the level of delusion is staggering. How do so many people think Reform will 'save the country' when it’s led by defected Tories from the worst cabinet in UK history?It’s not change, just same failures,new logo,and people cheering like it’s a revival,not a rerun.
