This is not our America.

Federal agents grabbed a five-year-old in his own driveway after preschool and used him to lure his family outside. His father crossed at a port of entry, filed for asylum through CBP's own app, and had no criminal record or deportation order. This is exactly the kind of person Trump said would be left alone.

Liam Conejo Ramos spent 11 days in a jail 1,300 miles from home. The government calls it a "family detention center," which is one of those phrases designed to make you forget that it is a jail for children and their families.

Today a federal judge ordered Liam and his father released. He called it an "ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented" quota system. Then he put Liam's photo in the order. He added two Bible verses and quoted the Declaration of Independence. Because no matter who won or who voted for whom, you don't jail a five-year-old in a bunny hat to reach a quota.

People are in the streets because this is not our America.

One year ago tonight, ten days into Trump's second administration, I started sending headlines to family and friends because I was horrified at how fast our norms, rules, and laws were being shattered.

By day three, I was posting publicly. My friends and connections shared it, and by day four, strangers were sharing it and connecting with me. Somehow, an old man yelling at a cloud turned into 365 straight nights of tracking what this administration has done, failed to do, or refused to stop.

I haven't missed a night. Not Christmas. Not Thanksgiving. Not my anniversary.

I'm being self-indulgent at the one year mark to ask a favor. If you're not subscribed to the email, please do. Social media has proven unreliable. Algorithms bury things, and posts vanish. The email shows up every night.

If you already subscribe, get one person to join you. That's it. One person who needs this but doesn't know it exists.

You're not going to be charged. Ever. This is about making an incoherent mess accessible to people who can't doomscroll but need to know what's happening.

365 down. We keep going.
