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.
Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.
She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.
AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.
Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll:
46% support abolishing ICE
43% oppose abolishing ICE
This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support
People who aren't in Minnesota might not know that if you drive or walk past pretty much any school, there's going to be a group of people, parents and childless, standing guard to make sure the kids are safe from feds. It's pretty remarkable. And very disturbing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
U.S. citizen detained by ICE:
“…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”
🧵A few notes for all the haters bitching about Violet Affleck’s speech to the U.N.:
She’s not a kid. She’s a 19-year old woman.
She’s not unqualified. She’s currently a student at Yale University, which has a 4.5% acceptance rate, and is pursuing a public health degree. (1/4)
AND SO IS THE CLOWN NEXT TO HIM!
Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?
This is SO important, but gets lost in the chaos of the day… she was FIRED for following the LAW 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
If Comey can be indicted for supposedly lying to congress (a favorite trump activity), what should be done with a President who lies repeatedly to the entire world??

1. The single most pernicious and damaging societal imperative I see in action right now, with Ireland in a Covid wave, is this:
'There's no need to test'.
Why? Not just because it tacitly normalises unmitigated transmission, but, more importantly, it hides Long Covid.
The MAHA assault on vaccines will kill people & usher in a scientific Dark Age. RFK Jr has got to go. Please join me, my fellow @accountabilityji.bsky.social advisory board members, Nobel laureates, National Academy members, & colleagues calling for his resignation.

i just want to point out that, in doing so, lower courts are upholding their duty to faithfully apply the constitution and laws--and oftentimes, controlling supreme court precedent
AI integration initiatives are spearheaded by administrations with little input from faculty members and other campus community members, including staff and students. High levels of concern arose around AI and technology procurement, deployment, and use; dehumanized relations; and poor working and learning conditions. Seventy-one percent of respondents said decision-making and AI initiatives are overwhelmingly led by college or university administrations, and many respondents described administrators exerting great effort to introduce AI into research, teaching, policy, and professional development with little meaningful input from faculty members, staff, or students. Examples include the development of institutional AI tools, workshops on teaching and detecting plagiarism, and subscribing to AI tools for students (such as Grammarly, marketed as an “AI writing partner”) without involving faculty members or students in the decision-making process. One respondent noted that “admin doesn’t seem to care about or value faculty input on this or any other topic” and hoped for “more faculty involvement in determining how AI and tech generally are used.”
The @aaup.org report on AI is so hugely important. Among other key takeaways is the fact that most AI programs have been introduced by administrative fiat and by circumventing meaningful faculty, student, & staff consultation.

In The Handmaid’s Tale, the Commanders preach purity but sneak off to brothels. It’s not fiction, it’s a mirror.
The most repressed are often the most controlling. If they just let themselves enjoy life, maybe they wouldn’t burn the world trying to punish everyone else for enjoying it.
Trump is levying more taxes on US consumers than any president in US history. And he has built a massive propaganda machine to explain to people that he's not dong what he's actually doing. www.ft.com/content/50f8...
"her support for and commitment to the arts" 🙄 okay, release a list of all your personal donations to arts organizations, all the art you've purchased with your own money, and every live show you've seen in the past 10 years. I bet the whole thing will fit on one page.
A feel happy video I found, to close my Internet for tonight. It’s 1:30 AM.
Having just spent a few months reading accounts of CBS’ grotesque cowardice during the 1950s McCarthy-era blacklist, it’s nice to see that The Tiffany Network respects its traditions
One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over. #Colbert
