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.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

This happened to me yesterday. Two ICE officers abruptly blocked a freeway entrance, got out and illegally threatened me with arrest. All on video, thanks to a journalist in the backseat filming the entire thing. Press makes us safer.
Just thinking of how many ways a few commuters having journalists with them would help.
- The journalist can literally be there when ICE/CBP gets out of their SUVs and starts their action. There's no "OK, what happened before the person with the camera showed up?"

So basically we have a solid center left majority under PR, or a knife edge possibility of hard right government under FPTP. The country really can't afford the luxury of political parties' vanity when it comes to electoral pacts.

Some thoughts:
1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.
2. History professors are qualified nominators.
3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.
4. He would be so mad.

it's like someone conducting a home invasion and shooting the occupants dead, and then claiming that the occupants were terrorists planning to bomb a bus. "so far, no evidence has emerged" doesn't suffice to describe what happened. what happened is that a killer is transparently lying
