After a discussion with their attorney, I have confirmed that Juan, his 16-month-old sister, his mom, and his dad have been deported.

I have an update on Juan Nicolás, the 2-month-old baby detained at Dilley, and his mother.

Porter. The essence of Mr. Lohnes' remarks was that he did not want Mr. Porter "to run that chain saw or that lawn mower or to leave that or have that God-damned junk heap". This was embellished by a string of epithets revealing an impressive command of the obscene vernacular.

Ah, to be immortalized this way in case law (R v Lohnes 1992)

Solidarity with friends and colleagues in Minnesota, who stood up to the authoritarian threat while one elite institution after another ran scared.

Introducing my 3 year old to the ancient texts (the original Honey Badger youtube video)

Worldwide name recognition of, for instance, Michael Jordan and/or Jackson would beg to differ

‘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.

Reading this made my hair catch on fire but I know that just reinforces their little ‘ideas’ about my kind

Sex and snacks, but no seat at the table: the role of women in Epstein’s sordid men’s club Files reveal a world of flattery and fratboy tones, where rich men are cultivated and women provide services

The Epstein files reveal a patriarchy in action

www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Olympics ads are all like, we’re a bank which is obviously exactly equivalent to being an Olympic athlete

Honestly the pen[]manship is superb

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

The hallmark (the “brand”) of the Washington Post has been accountability journalism. Thus, today’s staff decimation is Bezos’s greatest gift to Trump, so much more valuable than the Melania movie, inauguration money, etc. This disaster began, for real, with the Harris endorsement he killed.

If you have 2 minutes consider spending it watching this

Just had a really good customer service experience. Life is full of nice surprises

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

I commend County Executive Ball & local leaders in Howard Co for working to block ICE's attempt to set up another detention facility in Maryland.

We saw the inhumanity of ICE's operation in Baltimore & Marylanders have made clear: we do not want these facilities in our state.

Monkey’s Paw

Not to invoke the trappings of disenfranchisement but I kinda think elected officials should have to take a civic literacy test while everyone watches

multiple trump-created crises converging with deadly results.

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

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.

There is very likely going to be a blue wave in November 2026. Trump will do what he can to disturb the election and stop Rs from losing the House. It probably won't work, but the probability of a tail outcome is worrisome, and the attempt is the story

The pillars of creation

yeah shit sucks pretty bad right now but have you considered the pillars of creation

FILED January 31, 2026 CLERK, U.S. DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS Jaemie Herndon DEPUTY ADRIAN CONEJO ARIAS, and L.C.R., a Minor Child by and through His Parent and Guardian Adrian Conejo Arias, Petitioners, VS. KRISTI NOEM, in Her Official Capacity as Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security; PAMELA BONDI, in Her Official Capacity as Attorney General of the United States; TODD LYONS, in His Official Capacity as Acting Director, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement; DAREN MARGOLIN, in His Official Capacity as Acting Director of the Executive Office of Immigration Review; and JOHN DOE, in His Official Capacity as the Warden of the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Dilley, Texas, Respondents. CIVIL CASE NO. SA-26-CV-415-FB § OPINION AND ORDER OF THE COURT

Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse. The Constitution requires an independent judicial officer. Accordingly, the Court finds that the Constitution of these United States trumps this administration's detention of petitioner Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R. The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED pursuant to the attached Judgment. Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned.

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. SIGNED this 31st day of February [sic], 2026.
