‘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.

DHS is tracking people who protest using biometrics and entering them into databases; hunting people who send emails on behalf of asylum seekers; tracking neighbors who help immigrants w/ facial recognition and license plate readers, and Hakeem Jeffries wants more surveillance tech for every agent.

Ok I’ve said this before but SENATOR WHITEHOUSE WHAT THE FUCK. You cannot say you are taking opposing the fascism coming out of the White House seriously and then do this. @whitehouse.senate.gov be so for real

the end result of AI image, video, and audio generation is that society will no longer be able to rely on images or video or audio to represent reality. Children born today will never be able to assume that just because they have seen something on a screen that it is likely to be true.

Loaning yourself 100k for a city council campaign is wild. Wouldn't and couldn't be me, but absolutely is one of my opponents. I don't think someone who can loan himself more in a quarter than most households make in 2 years can understand what the average person is dealing with, but that's just me

It feels like both a weird and important time to announce my campaign. We are in a time of such darkness and have to have leaders who are going to fight for Providence. For affordable housing, for better streets and services and for our civil rights.

@jackiegoldman.bsky.social announces their candidacy for the open Providence Ward 5 City Council seat this year.

Goldman joins a Democratic primary that includes fmr. Council President and mayoral candidate Michael Solomon, and Simon Sarkisian.

Trump is arresting a reporter for covering a news story and meanwhile we don't even know the name of the man who murdered Alex Pretti.

This morning, I was driving unhoused neighbors as part of Operation One Dies. It was wild but unsurprising that wealthy neighborhoods were plowed so much better than non wealthy neighbors. All of us pay for city services, yet only some benefit

this is, unfortunately, the time for us to once again call our senators and say fuck you try again

“This Is Not America” Is the Most Dangerous Lie We Keep Telling Ourselves The idea that large-scale state violence and repression are foreign to US soil is a dangerous fiction.

Instead of reckoning with the long and violent architecture of U.S. history, much of peoples' search for explanations collapses into racialized tropes and xenophobic reassurance: This isn’t Afghanistan. This isn’t China. This is America. We have rights. This is a democracy. This isn’t who we are.

This does not make me feel great about RI’s choices for Governor.

McKee: So sorry about the bridge.
Foulkes: Damn you, fix the bridge, my donor had to close her restaurant.

Providence ppl: the food there (in a walkable neighborhood) was terrible, and the owner was a bad community member but idk🤷‍♂️

ICE operations are spinning up in Maine. @themainemonitor.org is looking to help report on ICE activity there and has set up a page to report what you're seeing. Also includes Signal and encrypted Protonmail options for secure communications.

Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go.
Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go.
Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go.

As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go.

Immigrants often don't open the door to ICE, but that may no longer stop officers It has become common knowledge in immigrant communities across the U.S. to not open the door for federal immigration agents unless they show a warrant signed by a judge

Honestly a weird way to say, "ICE has decided the Constitution no longer applies to them."

Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now.

55 of the corporations benefiting from canceled or frozen enforcement have ties to Trump's admin.

31 made donations to fund Trump’s inauguration or White House ballroom.

10 have a business relationship with Trump’s private businesses.

9 backed Trump’s presidential campaign.

Two Iranian men, who are gay, told their lawyer Bekah Wolf with the American Immigration Council that they were set to be deported on the Sunday flight. Homosexuality is illegal and punishable by death in Iran, which executed two gay men in 2022 and is considered one of the world's most repressive countries for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. "They're terrified," Wolf told MS NOW. One of her clients "calls every 45 minutes begging me to save his life." "We need a court of some sort to fully hear their claims before they're sent back to a country where being gay is punishable by death," said Wolf. She said her two clients have no criminal convictions and entered the U.S. in early 2025 on asylum claims. Both were in the middle of appeals though did not have stays of removal, Wolf said. Ultimately, Wolf said, "they did not have full hearings of their asylum claims in any meaningful way."

My org @immcouncil.org represents those two gay men. They had been arrested on charges of sodomy by Iranian moral police, and fled the country seeking asylum. They face the death penalty if returned, yet the Trump admin denied their asylum claims in a kangaroo court process.

They are terrified.

As of Thursday, ICE-Gestapo was holding over 73,000 people in their concentration camps, a record amount in their disgraceful 23 year history.

They aren’t a law enforcement agency, they are a militarized terrorist organization that should have been disbanded long ago.

Breathing slightly easier now that the SAMHSA cuts were rolled back. When people fight back, we win. These cuts would be so devastating. I mentioned these cuts to my partner last night and her response was, "they want to cull us." She's right, but looks like at least this was defeated.

EPA to stop considering lives saved when setting rules on air pollution.

Air pollution kills over 100,000 people every year in the U.S., about 5 times all homicide combined. But you won't see wall-to-wall coverage of Trump's deadly announcement. The *volume* of news coverage affects who and what we are afraid of, and which larger threats we ignore.
