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. 🧵

they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.

My partner's TikTok went down before mine last night so we huddled around my screen as if it were the last bit of torchlight in the tomb keeping us from being devoured by scarab beetles.

Yeah. I’m never gonna be one of those people that says that everything was better in the old days, but there were a few things that were. This is one of them.
Was just reading an article the other day about how things used to be made to last and in the past 20 years or so that has changed to things being made to NOT last so we keep buying them.

This Nancy Mace / Mike Johnson bathroom debacle really isn't just about blocking trans folks' access to bathrooms.

On Trans Day of Remembrance of all days, it's important to remember that their hateful ass rhetoric, actions, and policies stoke physical violence too.
