If you need to be in full camo uniform to arrest a dude singing in a giraffe costume, you’re pretty lame and pathetic.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

It’s the T͢a͢í͢n͢o͢ people of the Caribbean over the genocidal colonizers…

It’s the hypocrisy of “you will not replace us” while on stolen land…

It’s the history repeating…

It’s justice for the indigenous…all day every day.

The Supreme Court just rejected Alex Jones’ appeal, leaving in place the $1.4B judgment for his lies about Sandy Hook. Let’s remember, he made millions tormenting families who were grieving their murdered children. There’s no price tag big enough for that kind of harm.

You know MAGA is an incestuous cult because the entire world, especially Palestinians, realizes Israel just played Trump and there's no "peace in the Middle East."

However, Trump gets his ego stroked, and MAGA Reeks get to praise their King for a day.

Narrative matters in political warfare. We are winning this. MAGA are reduced to begging each other to be scared of the dancing frog.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

So proud of my neighbors across the river for how they're making the war-torn narrative look so stupid. Brilliant to my way of thinking.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.
