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. 🧵

138 years ago today, Congress signed the Dawes Act into law. You may have never heard of it, but this law redrew the map of the United States.

They're torture camps
The government says the people being deported are violent criminals, and they treat them inhumanely. But mostly they are subjecting ordinary people to extraordinary punishments.

Anyway, the place where I am coming from whenever I write anything, anywhere is: we can live better than this, but that requires the will to change. The universe is too fucking fabulous for us to only know it through capitalism and white supremacy. That's what my posts and books are always about.

The whole pairs event was so fun for that reason. Just watching the joy build for all the pairs as they went, “we are KILLING this!”
it really is so much fun to see people do their best on the biggest stage

you could see it on their faces towards the end of the routine, just “holy shit we are fucking nailing this”
It’s just so great when athletes have their best moments at the Olympics

This, from @jamellebouie.net is exactly right. And I think so many folks have refused to see or admit what Trump is because admitting implicates them, or their families, so denial is easier.

I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers.

Howard County chose dignity, accountability, and its people. Tune into our event now:

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them
LAPD Charges at Hundreds of High School Students in Peaceful Walkout Protest at MDC ~ L.A. TACO
LAPD arrested at least two teenagers protesting ICE raids in Los Angeles yesterday. They were also seen corresponding with ICE agents on Alameda Street during the demonstrations.

I’m not usually a sports person, but I am a huge sap about the Olympics.

I also firmly believe that if you have an opening ceremony, sports should not start happening before the ceremony that supposedly opens the sports.

STET is one of the reasons I am afraid of short stories. I read it casually and was hollowed out for at least a day. So yes, it absolutely needs to be taught in schools alongside other short stories that will haunt you forever.
STET is a story that should have been mandatory reading in high schools, colleges, and universities since the day it was published. Also, just as a piece of art, a piece of short SF on the digital page, it was always a marvel.
For several particular reasons today, "STET" by Sarah Gailey is extremely on my mind. STET share.google/ODadlV1br3eH...

This is superb. Ian McKellen delivers a blistering pro-immigration monologue written by Shakespeare, that makes you want to punch the air with exhilaration. Wow, wow, wow.

An absolute must-watch. (Starts at 20:10 but the entire interview is a joy.) youtu.be/2l2RqzVG4ag
