Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Black reporters were systematically removed from media jobs, leaving them more vulnerable to shit like this.

Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.
A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

BREAKING: The Trump regime has detained former CNN host Don Lemon.
A week ago, the regime tried to charge Lemon for covering an anti-ICE protest inside a Minnesota church, but a magistrate judge rejected the move.
Lemon predicted: “They’re going to try again.” Apparently, he was right.
