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.

Source, talking about DOJ's "Weaponization Working Group": "It’s been incredible to watch these folks — many of whom have little to no criminal or investigative experience whatsoever —spend over a year and enumerable resources digging for the weaponization evidence of their fantasies."
Trump DOJ’s ‘weaponization’ group under pressure to deliver results, source says
The group was established by an executive order from President Donald Trump. Members are being directed to redouble the effort over the coming weeks, a person familiar with the group told NBC News.

Remember that taxing LOANS to people who's net worth is above a certain level is a way to make sure that Billionaire's can't use stocks to avoid paying taxes.

Hey Guv,

You are doing some good things. Would appreciate if you stopped selling out to big corporations on Data centers and AI.

I appreciate the good things you do, but not afraid to call out the missteps. Thanks.

calls to return to “traditional indigenous agriculture” are calls for billions to die, it literally did lead to famine in Sri Lanka when it was tried, I’m firm believer that we should be bigger assholes to people hawking woo shit.
I have immense respect for indigenous cultures. However, it is deeply impractical to feed 8+ billion people sustainably and reliably without high-tech industrial agriculture.

Ultimately, this is just reactionary, conservative pastoralism wrapped in leftist framing.

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
