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.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I’m pretty sure part of the Christian Nationalist narrative about Trump is that he is God’s chosen instrument because he is imperfect and whenever he goes on a rant about how he’s not going to heaven, I think about how this sounds to them, his target audience, not me, not his target audience

Average NYPD salary with OT is well over 100K, you live like a king on that in Long Island ain't none of them going nowhere. Anyone who believes that is a stone cold idiot. How many other jobs are they qualified for where they could earn that? Zero. The answer is zero.

Though to be fair Paul is easier to understand after reading Lenin

Also Paul and Alexandra Kollantai had remarkably similar ideas about marriage

The question isn’t “why has TEC/CoC/ECS introduced novelty” or whatever, it’s “why aren’t you yet ordaining women when the divine Logos assumed that which he has saved?”

Imagine telling Florence Li Tim-Oi she’s only a priest because of secular liberalism stfu

The whole “GAFCON traditionalists have this to say” framing too easily buys into their own reactionary posture, that having, say, female bishops is simply “capitulation to liberal secular culture”

No, it’s grounded in Nicene Christology, and the resources are easily available that spell this out

A Definitive Ranking of U.S. State Flags 🧵

1. Virginia: A+

• Strong anti-fascist message
• Tits out for liberty
• Her outfit looks comfy
• Fuck bras; don't need 'em
• That lady just teabagged Caesar's corpse
• Girlboss

The state flag of Virginia. Lady Liberty is standing over the dead body of a slain Roman man, presumably Julius Caesar. A crown lies discarded on the floor. Liberty is flexing with her spear, one breast exposed and giving no fucks. Beneath her is written "six semper tyrannis," which is Latin for "we'll love to stab tyrants around here; it's our favorite thing to do." (Virginia's actual record on this point is... inconsistent. But the sentiment is nice.)
