we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

‘He’s not the same’: Father of Liam Conejo Ramos says 5-year-old continues to suffer Some people thought they say the 5-year-old during the Super Bowl halftime show. But Liam is still in hiding with his family, after he and his father were detained and then released from a Texas deten...

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.

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

A #Massachusetts State Police sergeant and three instructors will face charges of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the September 2024 death of trainee Enrique Delgado-Garcia, an independent investigator announced Monday.

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

Thank you for this awesome and detailed description! I loved the show and love it even more after reading this!

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

More than “Peaceful Protests" The Power of Nonviolence in Minnesota

More than “Peaceful Protests"

Pediatrics published the Vaccine Integrity Project’s hepatitis B birth dose vaccine evidence review online. The review looked at: 400+ studies/reports, 40 years of data—and the conclusion was unmistakable.
There is no evidence supporting a delay in the hepatitis B birth dose.

Every American needs to watch this:

This! “Investigations” are where truth goes to die.

RFK Jr.'s trial of a birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine in Africa is wholly unethical.

A press release from Bernice King about Alex Pretti, nonviolent action, and dismantling ICE. A black box with white font words.

Nonviolence demands more than outrage; it demands action.

Agree. Thanks for your vaccine advocacy!

Urgent News Update: Families Warned as ICE Sends Flyers Seeking to Provide "Food Assistance" as Possible Trap Good evening, everyone, and thank you for being here.

NEWS: Families receive warning from school as ICE sends flyers providing “food assistance” to low income families as possible trap.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United" We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.
