ICE is going to let this 5 year old child they abducted die. There's a reason kidnapping is death penalty level offense.
Liam Ramos is also experiencing stomach pain, vomiting, fever and a complete loss of appetite, made worse by poor-quality food in detention. Attorneys who have visited the facility say the children inside are mentally broken.
LIAM NEEDS A DOCTOR.

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

#GVerse Chicago turnout this morning was INSANE.
Thousands hit the streets demanding justice for Alex Pretti and calling out the federal crackdown that killed him.
This isn’t “local unrest” anymore. It’s national.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

I successfully left the house and returned to the house, and now I really need a food.
