This is where Liam Ramos is being held.
They’re screaming “let us out” and protesting the brutal conditions.

It’s obvious to say what is happening in Minneapolis is politically significant. It’s globally important. Don’t think One Nation in Australia, UK Reform, Germany’s AFD & other western far right parties aren’t looking at what Trump is doing & weighing up what they think they can get away with.

Am 27. Januar 1945 befreiten sowjetische Soldaten die Insassen des KZ Auschwitz|Birkenau. Wir erinnern heute an die Opfer des Holocaust, die erst mit Hass verfolgt und ausgegrenzt, dann sozial vernichtet wurden, ehe sie auf bestialische Weise ermordet wurden.

Remembering Antonio Carlos Jobim on his birthday 🎂
My favourite Tom Jobim portrait is this one by Otto Stupakoff, taken at Ipanema Beach in 1964.
Heitor Villa-Lobos (his hero) once said to him:
"My son, the outer ear has nothing to do with the inner ear."

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
