Protest breaks out at Dilley immigration detention facility holding 5-year-old Liam Ramos A protest broke out Saturday at the ICE-run South Texas family detention complex in Dilley, where five-year-old Liam Ramos is being detained.

Reminder that, in recent days, children have rallied and protested for their freedom inside an ICE detention center where water has been described as "putrid" and meals reportedly contain β€œbugs,” dirt, and debris. This is where the kidnapped 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held.

The "outside agitator" narrative pre-dates the Civil Rights Movement as well. It was supposedly outside agitators who were responsible for filling the otherwise docile and grateful slaves' heads with all that crazy talk of freedom, causing drapetomania.

Same. You'll be fine just watching part 1 and then part 2 if you liked it enough.

Author Mia McKenzie beside the book cover if her 3rd novel, THESE HEATHENS.

I'm so excited to share that my novel, THESE HEATHENS, has been longlisted for the 2026 Aspen Words Literary Prize. This book is so close to my heart and I'm so very proud of it.

They be lying any damn way. Last time Jiffy Lube l told me my transmission fluid was out. Meanwhile, my car has a sealed transmission and there's no way to know that without opening it, which they did not do. If they tell me anything now, I say okay sure I'll take it to my real mechanic.

I feel like this was ripped from the headlines if the headlines were @prisonculture.bsky.social's skeets.

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

Wimpy from Popeye with the caption "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today" just like the GOP to the Dems.

I think this is the bird that totally abandons its weaker chick if it has another one that's stronger. Didn't bother to remember it's name because I hate it. Worst bird.

Do authors know where they're selling books? I definitely don't.

It's November 1 and I've already caught myself humming, "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..." several times over the past couple of days.
