I don’t think it makes you out of touch any more than someone from West Virginia who has no idea what it’s like to grow up in a place without guns, there’s a lot of people who grew up with this experience. It’s a big diverse country.

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.

It sure is heartwarming to see Marin whitehairs incandescent with rage about a state law allowing a huge new apartment building that they are utterly powerless to oppose.

What could make a community of white, affluent boomers so livid? In a shocking twist, the reason is exactly what you think it is. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

‘Not going to suck it up’: What turned this former hippie town into the angriest place in California?

The local rancor is focused on plans for a six-story, 243-unit apartment building near the town center. The School Street project is universally loathed. Almost everyone believes it to be out of place in a town where one-story and two-story buildings are the norm, and they worry about the impact on parking, traffic and fire safety.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

More seriously this is why it’s so annoying when a bozo like JD Vance says immigrants don’t appreciate America. He is the one who doesn’t appreciate the baseline safety this country has, immigrants are way more thankful than him.

Taking a moment to be thankful for my family coming to a country where we escaped conscription by the czar, the Soviet-Nazi pact, World War 2, 45 years of the iron curtain, and the need to learn noun declension.

It’s still going tomorrow if you want to go check it out! It’s at St Casimir Church in Los Feliz. There is a $30 entrance fee to pay for the music and organization etc, food is on top of that. There’s obviously a lot of love for Ukraine among Lithuanians at the moment!! 🇺🇦 🇱🇹

(when it was planned in the late 00s, this seemed like a reasonable solution for “carbon-free power in the afternoon and evening” - have a big vat of molten sodium that could keep running steam generators late in the day. it wasn’t clear that “a bunch of computer batteries” would be cheaper”)

(this project gets a lot of flack from right wing pollution fans, but it wasn’t “failed” - it was just a big bet on a technology that turned out to be more expensive than PV solar + batteries. but guess what - EVERYTHING is turning out to be more expensive than PV + batteries)

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

(May is probably the most insane month to do it in the Cascades too bc snowmelt can launch small phreatic (steam driven) explosions that uncork the whole mess, but you probably would not expect a lay person to think about that.)

Now I mean. Extruding a harmless happy thick boy lava dome is something stratovolcanoes do. But blowing the top 5000’ of themselves off and launching devastating pyroclastic flows is ALSO something they do.

Cannot begin to describe how insane it is to decide to go dirt biking around Spirit Lake on May 18, 1980. Just complete disregard for your own mortality.

You've been at a job long enough to know a decent colleague to chat with.

The more you get to know them, the more they share. What's fact or fiction? You don't know, but you listen.

Then there's one story that's so over the top—a bona fide lie. But then, a photo appears.

A red Ford Pinto hatchback angles across a narrow gravel forest service road, a blue enduro motorcycle on a rear hitch carrier. Tall firs frame the view. Beyond them, a towering ash cloud from a pyroclastic density flow billows skyward. Photo by Richard Kent Lasher, May 18, 1980.

My favorite thing about this eruption is that *one day* before it happened the state let a bunch of people go up to Spirit Lake to check their houses. Like can you imagine looking at volcano that had bulged out 300’ in the last month and being like “no prob gotta go get my shit”.
