Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Celebrate by pushing harder 👇
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

As they say, "We are healthcare workers for veterans. We know what heroes look like."

In the spirit of Celebrating Things We Love in These Horrible Times, meet Rudolph

He's only got one antler, so I call him Rudolph because he's a misfit

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

Instant tears but in the best way
Charles Yang of Time for Three absolutely slaying me. I would lose my mind if I heard this live. Even crappy phone speakers made me scream and cry.

A. Of course you can
B. It wasn't a protest
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

It's -1 out
I'm currently very warm so I'm wearing shorts in the house
I need to cover my car before the snow arrives
But I don't want to change back into warm clothes

Do you think my cat will do it for me? If I bribe her with cheese?

We won't talk about how I should have done this hours ago

This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country.

The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.

Is anything more defining of America’s corrupted masculinity than the way our leaders praise and overwhelmingly fund child
abducting gestapo cosplaying as special forces, instead of nurses who worked through Covid and cared for dying veterans in the ICU?

who can forget the famous Boston Tea Party, in which a bunch of Boston's Finest gathered to sip on some tea after cracking the skulls of some dirty hippies who dared protest the King
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

I don’t think we should be using words like “innocent” or “US citizen” or “bystander” or things like that because — what if someone was an undocumented immigrant with a criminal record? Would they deserve this? No one deserves to be executed on the street in cold blood.

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd is gathered in freezing temperatures outside ICE headquarters in DC to demand ICE OUT OF ALL COMMUNITIES NOW.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.

They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.
