CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?
DR: No, notβ listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.
C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patientβs name?

Opinion | Liam Ramos Was Just One of Hundreds of Children at This Detention Center. Release Them All.
"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world."

Thinking of #DerekJarmen (who was born yesterday long ago)What an impact his films had on me.How magical those Super 8s are. The only person who could capture the spirit inside a human on film in the way Van Gogh or Bacon could trap that crackling soul energy on a canvas

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.
They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

One of my most cherished classes is my 18th century novels course where the primary learning objective is "learn how read long novels." We did a "couch to 5k" approach to attention span and note-taking.

My hot take about the βstudents cannot read whole novels / watch whole films / etc.β is that they can learn to do it. None of us are born with attention spans suited for long media. It is a learned skill and can be developed with practice.

itβs not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls itβs that none of them cared and if he hadnβt been arrested and died theyβd still be out there trying to be his friend

Liam and his father are currently being held by federal authorities in the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, an hour plus drive southwest of San Antonio.
In an interview with MPR News, Liam's mother gave an update on her son and her own safety. She said Liam asks again and again, βMommy, why donβt you pick us up?β Or βMommy, we donβt want to be here anymore. This place is ugly.β
