Few things point more to the genuine absurdity to referencing socially prescribed sex assignments as 'biological', than declaring an *assigned name* to be 'biological'

Bondi: "The judge also would not refer to the defendant by his biological name -- referred to him by the pronouns."

One thing I have *never* seen any MAGA cap wearing buffoon do:

Wash his hands after taking a shit. I'm serious. I've seen these folks in tavern and restaurant rest rooms- and they just never wash their hands

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.

The Indictment of Letitia James and the Collapse of Impartial Justice. The question raised by the prosecution of James is: would any other federal prosecutor have brought this case against any other defendant? The answer seems to be no. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Listen for the loud whistles. Carry them and use them. 3 short blows for sightings, 3 longs blows if you see someone being kidnapped.

there's every reason to believe that trump is not particularly happy. he's a bottomless pit of need and has surrounded himself with the absolutely most wretched people on earth, all of whom he clearly despises and all of whom despise him. 1

ICE is well documented as subjecting multiple detainees to sexual assault. I fear for children in their custody
handle.invalid
At some point we are going to have to have a public reckoning with the fact that the prospect of sexual violence is what is motivating ICE recruitment, the camps being built are rape camps, and ICE staff is lousy with pedophiles.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Looks like Trump is preparing to float an 'Everybody did this in Palm Beach back then' defense for his participation in Epstein's pedophile rape parties

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;

COVID-19 has revealed that much of the US public is willing to accept mass death and abandonment. We were pushed by propaganda to see many around us as disposable. That helped set the tone for current fascist violations. I wrote about it for @prismreports.org.

The COVID-19 pandemic should have shown us that we’re supposed to be meeting needs, not falling in line behind fascist incursions
