It's the little ear flap that makes it.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Article excerpt: In my few days in Minnesota, I’ve been witness to countless scenes that remind me of moments I’ve seen during previous trips covering conflicts around the world. I watched heavily armored federal units roll through quiet neighborhoods. In a grocery store parking lot, angry residents screamed at agents, demanding they leave the city. Masked and armed government agents pointed weapons toward me and some protesters during an encounter in the middle of the afternoon. Curious guests in a hotel elevator wondered why I was carrying around a medical pack and gas mask. Local residents thanked me for being there to witness the situation. A drunk man at a hotel bar cursed at me, saying the media was at fault. The wars we’ve carried out as a nation abroad have come home.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

I met Ian outside the Whipple Building in Mpls last week, where he was protesting ICE. I was blown away by his vulnerability, by how deeply he—a 6-time combat vet—feels like his nation is under attack. I just learned that he was among those arrested by federal officials for protesting at the church.

Ordering....

I've tried to raise my kids to stand up for what's right, and it's hard now not to fear what might happen to them when they do.

This. 💔

Mine arrived today too! So excellent to have @erininthemorning.com 's list so we can buy all that sugary goodness from some great kids.

Excellent parenting

People at protest. One with sign that says "no ice gestapo; they can't kill us all" and another saying "ice out" and a large photo of Renee Good.

“We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness,” said her widow, Becca Good.

"On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns.”

Embarrassing (says middle-aged mom who knows how to do a damn kb swing). And those are tiny kettlebells.

We honor the dead by fighting like hell to remove the regime. Let us mourn with Renee's loved ones and vow to act in her honor, unrelenting in pursuit of justice. #BraveOfUS #MurderedByICE

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

My aspiring astrophysicist teenager and I have been reading this together. It's both awesome and honestly terrifying!

Having an MRI was when I learned that apparently some tattoo inks have metal in them. 😳 Fortunately, since I am tattooed neck to feet, I did not explode.
