When Pete Hegseth starts flexing in front of American flags and talking about “death and destruction from the sky,” this is what he’s talking about: dozens of little girls murdered.
NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

🧵 (1) SIX ICE DEATHS IN TEXAS IN SIX WEEKS; 3 at a Fort Bliss camp holding +3K immigrants. A homicide involving staff. That’s after the deadliest year in ICE detention in decades as Trump seeks to expand it. Lawyers call it an ‘unfolding humanitarian crisis.’

They have a habit of doing this.
Shout out to the engineers at KEXP. The sound for their live performances is invariably excellent.
KEXP over the air is one of the things I miss most about living in Seattle.

F this guy.
Two sick kids at home today, so I decided to bring out the big guns and show them The Great Muppet Caper. It was an excellent parenting decision.
Couldn’t be happier for Bobby. Good dude.

This is making me queasy.
After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.
But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
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.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

It kind of sucks to be living through a situation that is both Orwellian AND Kafkaesque.
Why?

Ricardo Lockett will have his revenge.
Federal immigration agents arrested and detained a Gresham, Oregon family, including a 7-year-old child, outside a Portland hospital last week as the girl’s parents sought emergency medical care for her.
