Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I guess they are pretty upset.

For some reason.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.”

Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you
can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.

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...

We are locked in an infinite loop where the administration distracts from outrage over Epstein files by creating outrage over ICE excesses, and distracts from outrage over ICE excesses by creating outrage over Epstein files.

This is a unique way for a democracy to spiral towards oblivion.

The most remarkable thing is that the most vile things done by Epstein and his collaborators have not even been released yet…

… for ‘reasons’

(I’m imagining all the FBI agents who spent all that effort collecting this liberal mountain of evidence only to watch politicians on both sides bury it.)

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

Everything that RFK Jr, Jay Bhattacharya and fellow anti-vaccine zealots have said about COVID vaccines is garbage, as proven by world class, international scientific studies.

Demanding a Homeland Security bill that reins in lawlessness is the best path for science–even if it stalls NIH funding The Senate voted today on a final funding package that included both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), among many other agencies and institutions.

To the extent that the fate of NIH and ICE funding may continue to be linked, we as scientists may feel forced to choose between protecting our own funding and the safety and wellbeing of our neighbors.

This is a false choice.
