Supporters of Trump’s election rigging plot want you to think his scheme is popular, but it’s not. The fact is Indiana is far from being a ruby red state - we’re actually very purple.

Trump's plan silences the voices of 40% of Hoosiers.

Yes….the miracle ear

I am still waiting on someone to tell me why did a SS agent just happen to have a white washcloth which he held to trumps ear…..but a few photo frames later….there is NO blood on the white washcloth but something red dripping down trumps face.

Just curious….

MAGA is dressing in plain clothes and trying to incite violence at protests.
They are desperately trying to help Trump. It’s not a widespread problem, but you should be aware. If you are new to protests, listen to the local resistance community when they spot a cosplaying agent of chaos.

I’m having a very difficult time staying calm while our children are terrorized. I don’t know how much more of this I can take. MAGA children don’t want this for their friends so how can maga adults stay quiet while this is happening? Their kids will have survivors guilt and need therapy for life.

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
By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago

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.

Public health is infrastructure. And every $1 spent on prevention saves up to $5.60 in health costs. So why does Indiana underfund it? We need budgets that reflect care, not crisis.

Every $1 spent on public health prevention saves up to $5.60 in Hoosier healthcare costs.
