They banned stuffed animals in Dilley. “They can’t go to sleep with a stuffed animal,” Welch said. “They can’t go to sleep with a security blanket, that’s just not allowed.”

Not a New Yorker. Sharing because it feels so good to hear a leader give a thoughtful mihi that takes historical context into account and makes links with current events, *answering* the zeitgeist. Was privileged to witness some beautiful in-depth whaikōrero in the last week and this is as good.

Doctors in a hospital in Gaza try to save the life of a Palestinian girl who sustained severe injuries in an Israeli attack that hit her and killed her father on their way to her preschool. Israel's attacks on Palestinians in Gaza have continued despite the ceasefire agreement.

![“Good afternoon. My name is [redacted] and my wife and I have been at OMDC since April 15 2025,” reads a handwritten note, wrapped around a lotion bottle that was thrown by a man held captive inside the Otay Mesa Detention Center (OMDC) on Sunday.
“It’s cold here all the time and the food is poor,” the missive continues. “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh.

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse. Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch." Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...
Trump Using A ‘Softer Touch’ With ICE In Minnesota? Residents Say Don’t Be Fooled.
Two weeks after Alex Pretti’s killing, federal agents have shown no signs of backing down. The resistance definitely hasn't.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...
Nasra Ahmed is a 23-y-o US citizen from St. Paul, MN. She was detained by ICE for 2 days in Jan. despite showing US identification. She was released w/o charges after being racially abused & physically injured during her detention, she told reporters. She's Somali American. Vid: @HeartlandSignal, X
A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!
Jewish anti Zionists have been screaming about the real threats to Jews and yet a lot of silence at the moment from the other side.
Catherine Rampell@crampell.bsky.social · 9mo agoThe most disturbing government abuses of data aren't necessarily the data they're *deleting* but the data they're *collecting.* The Trump administration is compiling lists of dissidents, immigrants, people with disabilities, Jews. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-chil...
If you want to know what people mean when they say Democrats are "controlled opposition," rather than whipping votes against ICE funding, Hakeem Jeffries struck a deal with Republicans to allow Democrats to feign outrage at ICE while still funding the spending package.
Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands. An administration of total inhumanity.
Here is a literal preschooler wearing a Spider-Man backpack, just like all of our kids, as the hand of a much larger masked ICE agent holds onto his backpack, as if he were a flight risk.
They want to tell you a kid with a Spider-Man backpack is evil
Liam Ramos' innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable. The visuals of his arrest are excruciating.

I am The Post’s ‘federal government whisperer.’ It’s been brutal.
One reporter’s effort to show how Trump was transforming government brought her 1,168 new sources — and nearly broke her.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.
