Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Catherine O'Hara spent decades best known to comedy fanatics, Canadians and "Home Alone" fans who couldn't remember her actual name, but she spent the past decade utterly worshipped in the collective and mainstream consciousness as she deserved to be. She was fully appreciated. And that's good. #RIP

my son is five, same age as Liam Ramos. you don't need to have a child the same age to be fucking horrified by the violence we are doing (and HAVE BEEN doing) upon immigrant children in this nation. but that he keeps asking for his spidey backpack is the kind of detail that rips my heart in two.

I love this.
An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

“An immediate de-escalation on all sides”???
Imagine telling Jews to de-escalate during the Holocaust, or African Americans to de-escalate during Jim Crow.
Every Jewish institution must look at itself and ask what they are doing to end fascism.

There were once plenty of regime loyalists who described the Nazi Gestapo’s targeting of Jews, Roma, dissidents, queer folks & more as so many ‘fatal encounters with law enforcement’. That’s how the head of the ADL just described the ICE murder of Renée Good & Alex Pretti

But I need folks to understand that if they can see themselves in Alex Pretti or Renee Good, and they haven't been able to see themselves in Philando Castille or Breonna Taylor?
If it feels different, now?
I need you to examine that.
It's not an accusation. I'm glad you're here with us now.
