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...

Weaponizing civil rights law against the very groups it was written to protect is a hallmark of neofascism.
It’s meant to punish. And also declare loudly that they are above the law and will interpret it to mean whatever they want.
