This really highlights how negotiations between Israel and Palestine are negotiations between an occupier and an occupied people.

It's never been more clear we do not need the police. They need to be abolished and replaced.

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.

I actually first learned to cook them way back when I was still a vegetarian, so reserving and using bacon grease is a new addition for me with collards, and you’re right it makes them so much better!

so it seems Saleh was killed (possibly executed) by an Israeli-armed/backed militia. We've known that Israel has been doing this. The goal: fomenting a civil war between Palestinian factions. Inevitably Israel will "intervene" to quell the clashes. Another tool in its genocidal arsenal.

this is why I don’t defend my country, which was also founded by racist pieces of shit

Crypto executives are selling fractions of buildings to retail investors. It’s mostly a gimmick, but if the real-estate market crashes individual investors will suffer the most. “Right now I would say it’s dumb.” From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social:trib.al/M4xj14Q

Crypto Bros Want to Create Micro Landlords

Crypto executives are selling investors fractions of buildings in yet another scheme to reinvent an existing activity and say rules don’t apply because it’s on the blockchain.

In case you’re hearing about the “protest that turned violent” in Boston last week, here’s the “violence” in question, per the police report

Following the protest, four officers were taken to the hospital for treatment of injuries. One officer had a broken nose and had his glasses broken, another was treated for pepper spray exposure, one sustained a finger injury while handcuffing and another sustained a lower back injury attempting to make an arrest.

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

Because TikTok is an incredible place, every time we open the app now, we are shown that fake video of a reporter being arrested. Simultaneously, a bunch of commenters are convinced our video of state troopers in Broadview from yesterday evening is AI. Perfect, no notes
