The level of evil it takes to detain a child (or anyone) on their way to the hospital is off the charts.
The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

My favorite Star Wars podcast turns 8!
What the Force? Is 8 - which is the most Ouroboros of numbers.
The ouroboros is a symbol of alchemical union because the consuming side is in union with the creative end. Death and Life, creation and destruction. The cycle is renewal and rebirth. Fundamentally that gives us hope of transformation!

“With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike.”
I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

The Trump administration is no longer trying to get cash from Harvard as it seeks a settlement. At this point, the White House seems happy to get a signature on anything they can call a compact.

🚨 BREAKING: Don Lemon was arrested in LA following a protest connected to a disrupted church service in Minnesota.
This is an assault on independent journalism. Think about it. The right has tightened its grip on large chunks of mainstream media, but it can’t fully control independent voices.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Removing the Willow series off of Disney plus was a fucking travesty. It was one of the best series I've ever seen on there. It had armor wearing sword fighting lesbians, an excellent story that tied into the movie so freaking well, and amazing representation for little people. Bring it back!!!

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

This thread makes some good points. These fascists are very dumb, and all of this hellish cruelty they're inflicting on everyone is not going to get them a victory.
Other folks have already noted much of this, but I think the MAGA 'theory of victory' here is:
1) DHS provocations trigger a riot or attack on agents which
2) Leads to widespread civil unrest in many 'blue' cities so that
3) Trump can invoke the insurrection act and send in the troops...

Curious if anyone has a plausible theory of victory for the administration if it were to invoke the Insurrection Act.
How does the administration "win" in such a scenario?
Best I can tell, it is magical thinking by a certain somebody at the White House, but maybe I'm missing something.

From a FB post about Alex Pretti:
This is a great way to set a positive example and support the community. But I really hope there’s a plan for what happens when ICE commits violent acts in the presence of MNG. I do worry about Trump illegally federalizing them, and if so what the response would be.
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.
Gregory Bovino must also be fired.
No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.
