“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
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. 🧵

Expert advice on treating tear gas and chemical irritant exposure to the eyes.
As an eye doctor:
All of this is correct
Yes, you can neutralize an acid in a lab with an alkaline substance. Alkalines are WORSE for the eyes than acids.
Organics such as milk have a chance to facilitate infection as the bio protective processes are compromised

Remember, California just basically blew up the Republican party in this state so we're gonna see a LOT more of these rats pretend to have a sudden change of heart to keep getting that sweet, sweet lobby money. (And maybe get a few more jabs in at queer people on the side)
This councilman in the San Diego area has been a Republican for 50 years and changed his party affiliation to Democratic over ICE today.
Longtime El Cajon City Councilman renounces Republican Party, becomes Democrat
The long-time El Cajon politician changed his party registration during a news conference outside city hall on Monday morning.

Children have been literally gunned down by mass shooters, and there was no attempt to ensure it wouldn’t happen again. I have little faith that anything will be done about the Epstein files. I have little faith that wealthy people will ever be held accountable for their atrocities.

An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others.

Ah, Social Circle, Ga. — this is right near the Rivian EV assembly plant site. Lovely to see the sorts of jobs and activity MAGA would bring instead.
Using a light-industrial site to house humans — who need, like, water and access to sewers — seems like a hell of a thing to try w/o planning.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

The admin wants to define grad programs in many "helping" fields (social work, nursing, teaching, etc) to no longer be "professional" degrees. This would mean major student loan restrictions: only $20,500/year. Tuition alone is often more.

We are in a time where America is proud to be stupid and uncultured. They spent months complaining about Bad Bunny but not once looked up his lyrics or leaned about the Puerto Rican culture. Giving everyone a platform hurt this country in immeasurable ways.
