can't help but feel that the total gutting of the VRA is going to lead to someone running to the right of trump/vance...and winning. i don't think they are worst case scenario. i think worst case scenario is what comes next.

His name is Leo and he dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when he shines he really shows you all he can
Oh Leo! Leo! dance across the Rio Grande.

I was shocked it went in, the goalie had it covered except for a sliver. And boom.

Sure, but a crime WILL happen, rendering Boston a battle zone.

Not that the law matters, but it's illegal to release criminal records of a minor.

I always picture Columbus coming back on this day and thinking "huh, I'm Italian now."

Actually I just learned something! That's a big difference and it sucks that it got shortened.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

While I think ICE agents should face criminal charges for their kidnapping of immigrants, they should face long, and perhaps lifetime, prison sentences for anything like this involving kids. An ICE agent willing to do this is not someone who should be out among society even after Dems retake power.

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.

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.

Thank you for this. I didn't know about him. I just sent him a contribution.

Holy shit! I thought you were just ignorant... you're taking the side of the Chinese government over the oppressed Uyghurs. Ugly stuff. What is wrong with people? Sorry, I don't speak to people who support crimes against humanity. Bye.

Truly unbelievable. If we are an anti-trump city, which is the least of my hopes, he will lose this election by 50 points, not 12.

Andrew Cuomo is incapable of speaking clearly and directly about Trump’s authoritarianism.
