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. 🧵

Washington DC’s Metro is honoring Rosa Park’s today by reserving seats in her memory. Parks didn’t refuse to relinquish her seat out of exhaustion—she was a fierce advocate for justice who organized with her community to engage in civil disobedience. Her deliberate act was courageous and meaningful.

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

It’s too cold in NY even for penguins. The Long Island Aquarium brought 20 penguins indoors due to frigid temperatures. South African black-footed penguins prefer milder weather, so when temperatures drop below 30 degrees, they’re moved inside. (ABC News)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The moment it was crystal clear we were in the worse case scenario, was exactly a year ago when Trump pardoned every single Jan 6 perpetrator, including the ones that beat the crap out of cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
