ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

If I became a billionaire, I would set up a trust to pay a small number of employees whose sole responsibility would be to tell me when I have gone round the bend.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

But the Frog whispered back, "I am the storm."

Portland's inflatable anti-fascist frog stands against a dark, stormy sky. His cape fluttering in the wind, his face in a determined frown, his left fist rests on his hip as he looks forward to the task of liberating America.

The 1970s were terrible in many ways--stagflation, fondue key parties, foreign policy disasters, avocado green paint, etc.--but they were a golden age of soft country rock that can still sooth frazzled nerves. youtu.be/O8qasKe9Ljo?...

There are *a lot* of examples of anti-authoritarian movements deploying humor to puncture state narratives and the government's self-importance. And why else would the existence of Winnie the Pooh be forbidden knowledge in China?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

The Norwegian Armed Forces should be on high alert. Norwegian Cruise Lines ships should prepare for a MAGA boycott and/or droning at sea. Anything Scandinavian will be suspect. Danes, Finns, and Swedes should expect to be targeted as well. substack.com/@milestaylor...

This is a wild headline. This is our reality right now. This is the deranged man leading the free world.

How could someone like this do something manipulative and creepy? Although, I thought these folks called the feds at the prospect of shared bathrooms?

@jvl.bsky.social Two words. Challenge Coin. One side says "JVL is Always Right" the other says "Sarah is Always Right." Could be used like Harvey Dent's to determine fates of foes. Someone in the comments suggested "Fight Fight Fight" on both sides.

the comparative dearth of reporting on NSPM-7 is in part, speaking generously, due I think to how a lot of elite media looks at it like a rant. They are accustomed to things like that being serious legal documents for them to have impact, and in a saner environment, that would be the case. But…

Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein.bsky.social · 3d

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for
