Liam is the face of pure innocence. To see him going through that was heartwrenching. No mother could see that and not want to protect him. (Fathers and others, too, I'm sure, but speaking as a mother.)

Plz bring them home! My heart breaks. Liam is the face of all of the children rounded up, caged and neglected. Their families β€”- Liam β€˜s father looks like a very young man β€” not much past a child himself.
This is such sick shit! Please Ms Jasmine BRING THEM HOME. Thank you for going. 😭😭😭😭

Liam is in ICE custody and his health is deteriorating.

Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago.

Today, Rep. Castro and I visited precious Liam and his father, Adrian, at the Dilley Detention Center.

My heart absolutely breaks for Liam, his family, and every person being wrongfully detained.

Jasmine Crockett & Joaquin Castro went to see Liam Ramos. After posting an image of him lying prone in his father’s arms, Crockett said, β€œHe was lethargic. He was never alert the entire time that we were there. I was very concerned about his health.” πŸ’”

I LOVE infographics! That's something we can provide at Causeway. We need to add a couple examples to our portfolio.

I'm so sorry it's been so brutal. Glad things have turned around. ❀️

I'd ask for a full request, because the query trenches are deep and agents are pretty full too! πŸ™‚

My sisters has always said that she wants to be reincarnated as a well-loved cat. She is not wrong. 😁

It's so hard. Germs spread easily, so all you can do is your best. Wishing you good luck with that, and that you feel great soon!

Thank you Vicky for the great AMA! While I'm not interested in self-pubbing, it's always interesting to hear about different aspects of publishing, especially at this time of great change. I enjoyed it!

I'm glad it's negative, but you should think about seeing a doctor. Usually when you get better and then worse, it's because you've developed a bacterial infection in all the ick inside you, and you need an antibiotic. (Sorry to talk to you like I'm your mom!) πŸ˜† I hope you feel better soon!

So sorry that happened. Yes, this should be on everyone's list. It's not hard!
