According the article, the Everett Police still have not told the parents why they arrested their 13-year-old child, nor why they handed him over to ICE while his parents waited in the station to pick him up.

Nobody wants to work anymore

anyway, if you think it’s somehow playing into the administrations hands to simply point out that a protest action *very likely being pushed by the fascists themselves as a trick* is illegal and dangerous, i have a lot of questions about your grasp of basic strategy

The "tech" part is technical not technology

And they mean technical as in "fundamental" or "core expertise" and not just an engineer or IT or computer scientist

DOGE might claim to be technocratic but they are not what the typical & usual meaning has been

really striking the degree to which not a single person working in the trump administration appears to be interested in serving the american people

thinking of Wilson Phillips' "Hold On" as an anti-fascist anthem about the importance of perseverance & maintaining morale in the face of overwhelming evil while crucially not forgetting about our own not just ability but 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 to make things better despite these cretins' schemes & misdeeds
