Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Watching ‘Melania’ fills you with a profound and despairing claustrophobia” as the first lady traipses “from limo to limo, private jet to private jet, just to get to identically fancy rooms full of identically sycophantic people,” @petridishes.bsky.social argues.
'Melania' Is a Horror Movie
The first lady is trapped, and she doesn’t seem to know it.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.
Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.
And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
The system is rigged.

It’s die or be deported
An ICE detainee is the victim of “homicide” according to an autopsy report, and he is just one of 3 deaths in 44 days at this Texas ICE detention facility.
I've got the latest details, including DHS' efforts to silence and deport the eyewitnesses to this homicide.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.
That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.
Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

I am slightly in awe of this photo taken of my grandparents just as they were about to casually ride a tandem on a 500+ mile round trip from their home in Nottingham to Devon, as if that is something you could just do really easily in 1948 on your week off from the factories where you worked.
