Image shows screenshot of medical records listing a child as “Inmate.” The child’s name and “Inmate ID” is redacted

As part of my reporting on children held in immigrant detention in Dilley, Texas, I’ve gotten to review some medical records from the facility.

This is where ICE brought 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos.

One detail that has gnawed at me: The medical forms refer to the children as inmates.

There should be a bonus medal for dropping a perfect f-bomb faster than the NBC censors can catch it

scenes from Minneapolis: my kids + their bestie are outside shoveling for a neighborhood elder. a suspicious car circles our block, slowly, 3 times. Elder grabs the kids & hustles them inside, other neighbor runs out to get a pic of the car, bestie's mom drives down the block to bring the kids home.

“It is supposed to be an independent entity. I hope the next time that it is, you remember today, when Trump put his face on the building.”

Wait…they discovered a unicorn? Holy LisaFrankasaurus.

I tried to hold that second line in and failed.

Correct.

The absolute arrogance.

I’ve been thinking about doing a meta story on this for a while: the second trump administration is so pathetically, world historically psychotic that you likely don’t know what’s happening with his labor department. It’s a constant stream of scandals and excess

Constant.

from reddit r/ExperiencedDevs • 21h ago Tech-Cowboy An AI CEO finally said something honest (Meta Dax Raad from anoma.ly might be the only CEO speaking honestly about Al right now. His most recent take: "everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code here's what things actually look like - your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping - majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life - they're not using Al to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend - the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon - even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real - your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills"

someone in AI fucked up and actually told the truth

California is currently weighing a ballot initiative that would institute a one-time wealth tax on billionaires living in the state.

"tapering plans" for HRT is a death sentence if you've had gender-affirming surgeries, like I have with my orchi, because your body will just wither away and die without hormones. Unspeakable evil. Demonic shit. You don't hate these motherfuckers enough.

Also, “The IG’s office is investigating a complaint that *Ms* Chavez-DeRemer was having a sexual relationship with a subordinate—a member of her security detail—and abusing her office by taking staff to strip clubs, drinking alcohol on the job and taking personal trips at taxpayer expense.”

Georgia Is Letting a Railroad Seize Land a Black Family Has Owned For 100 Years Descendants of enslaved people are fighting an attempt to use eminent domain to carve a spur through one of Georgia’s largest Black‑owned farms.

In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth

Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

all I can add is Epstein apparently knew something about law enforcement and who they really serve

Heartbreaking.
ALS is an absolutely heartbreaking and devastating illness.

May his memory, and all who’ve passed early from this illness, be a blessing.

“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so th...

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

There is so much pent up demand for joy and to believe in the future.

As it stands, GEO is poised to rake in tens of billions of federal dollars for detaining immigrants over the next four years; and thanks to the Trump admin installing a top GEO executive at ICE, the company appears to have kept its competitors from profiting anywhere near as much.
