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.

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.

Wow if I had known that, I could have saved myself years of therapy for attachment and abandonment disorders. To this day, my detachment game is strong - too good imo
On infant adoption:

"Because they have never formed attachments to birth parents, these children seldom experience their loss as traumatic, nor do they fell a painful loss of biological siblings, grandparents, uncles, aunts, or cousins."

Uh-huh.

"In speaking with many of these candidates, it became apparent that their expectations were unrealistic," the report said. "Many thought they would be provided with campaign managers, staff, volunteers and money."

That...is entirely realistic in a well-prepared party. Blaming candidates is bs
NDP report on a disastrous loss:
"The overall verdict from campaign staff was that even significantly better decisions would not have changed the overall outcome."
The campaign "fell a little short."
The base is "defeatist"
