this only makes abolishing ICE an even higher priority. they are racing to get this done before they lose their trifecta. but there is a danger that a Democratic government would simply allow these camps to continue to exist. every single one must be dismantled before fully operational if possible

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

β€œHe can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, β€˜Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

I have been informed that when high school kids are asked a question on the spot in class, it’s a verbal meme to say β€œcounting or not counting gang violence?”

Robert Kraft’s team losing the Super Bowl in humiliating fashion is, to date, the worst consequence suffered by any of the men in the Epstein files.

Donate to Support for Washington Post international employees, organized by Michelle Lee Among the hundreds of journalists laid off by The Washington Post on … Michelle Lee needs your support for Support for Washington Post international employees

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

Abolish the billionaire class:

They’re not helping the majors get into the classes they need or writing the 1 million reports required by admin or showing up at the thinly attended colloquium. Anyway that’s who’s in the Epstein files.

There’s a β€œsuperstar” layer at every R1 institution I’ve been at that isn’t composed of academics in any sense I recognize. They’re there so the institution can claim them, but they use the university as a launchpad to contracts and speaking engagements. They’re not teaching the intro classes.

According to regulations announced on Monday by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, cars sold in China will now be required to have a mechanical release on both the inside and outside of every door except the boot.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.
