The way Everett, MA cops collaborated w/ federal agents to spirit this child 500 miles south is very much in keeping with the political philosophy of Edward Everett, the MA statesman, ex Harvard prez, & famous doughface for whom the city is named. EE believed fervently in compromise with enslavers.

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 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.

I know some of you want your packages destroyed, but not like this! Not. Like. This!

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 1d

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Full color illustration of Ed and Stede sharing an early morning cup of tea on the deck of the Revenge. The timeline is a somewhat nebulous S2, perhaps a “What If” scene. Ed is wearing the pink Depression Robe open and loosely draped across his shoulders, Stede is bare chested and they’re both leaning, pressed tight shoulder to elbow, making moon-eyes at each other. It’s insufferably charming.

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life'

Hello bluesky! I'm Nora and I have a jewelry store focused on fused glass; I also have game tokens and worry stones.

Collage: nora.jewelry/collections/...
Cluster: nora.jewelry/collections/...
Worry stones: nora.jewelry/search?q=wor...
Earrings: nora.jewelry/collections/...

ad for the nora.jewelry collage collection, which consists of pieces made from patterned cane with some transparency piled on top of other different color canes and turned into a molded shape; the transparency creates a lot of depth in the final pieces, because you can see through the transparent bits to what is behind it. pictures are a pair of round green, white and purple cufflinks, a orange and yellow bolo tie, and a teardrop shaped pendant with a green/white design added to a pink design

ad for the cluster collection, a group of fused glass pendants (and a couple other things, but only pendants are pictured) made from placing glass cylinders on their ends in a group and melting them just enough to round them out but not enough to make them fully puddle like most of my designs. the result of this ends up looking a bit like fish eggs adhered to a flat surface, or a bundle of grapes. the ones pictured are a simple round aqua blue design with yellow middles, a purple design with distorted flowers (this one started out as regular flowers but rounded their petals in the kiln, blurring them) and a round tan design with brown and white middles.

worry stone collection: this one has an orange collage design worry stone in an abstract shape, a white and green one where the edges between the colors blur, and a round one in a bi pride pattern.

earring collection: this one shows a sparkly green aventurine pair of round earrings, one that's white/grey/clear with black spots (that one's made from spiral cane that I made flat and you can see the spiral in the final design) and one with swirling green, yellow and pink set in white.

all the backgrounds on all of these are an aventurine dragonskin sheet that i put at low transparency over white, so they have a lacy quality to them.

Technically a WIP? Butt*…I wanted to share it with you guys #ofmd #nsfw

A WIP illustration of a nsfw drawing of Ed laying naked in a sketched out bed. He’s laying on his front with his legs partially under the blanket but with his whole back and butt exposed. His face is covered mostly from his left shoulder but you can partially see him looking to the side with his hair flowing down his back.
