The schoolmates of Liam Conejo Ramos wrote letters to ICE.
This is just gutting. And also such a reminder that hate is taught. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/o...

Love seeing the pictures rides all over the U.S. and the world in honor of Alex Pretti. Our family in SF drew his name across San Francisco with their bikes.

My god. This child. Where is everyone? Where is the @dfl.org? where are @democrats.senate.gov and @housedemocrats.bsky.social? how can you have political power and not use it to free all of these kids?
Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

Solidarity across race, class, gender and other lines confuses and scares the fascists because they don’t understand that kind of love for strangers and neighbors. Many have never felt it. It is a physical demonstration that their ideology is a dead end.

This crochet pattern is the result of a human seeing the AI slop that was viral on craft sites and taking her time and talent to make a real, human-created pattern that actually makes the pictured dragon (that she also made).
This is infinitely better than AI.

This is Minnesota. We are a blueprint for how to take care of each other and to resist.
I wrote about my time in Minneapolis last week, about what is involved in creating bottom-up, decentralized networks of care.
