NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

the admin that imprisoned and tried to deport a student over a pro-Palestinian op-ed, calling it anti-semitism, calls outrage over "I love Hitler" texts by young Republicans "pearl-clutching"

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 2h

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

Attacks on the federal workforce are also attacks on Black workers, who are overrepresented in the public sector.

Black unemployment is 7.5%. I'm reminded of Coates' observation that Black Americans regularly experience conditions that would be considered a crisis if whites faced them.

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

This is a jaw-dropping, terrifying number. The CDC's workforce has decreased by 3,000 people since January.

Oh!

Possible fortuitous bounce: a cannabis retailer that I was a couple interviews deep in with, before accepting my ill-fated Store Management position a few months back, relisted that position today. 😃

I have already applied, and messaged their Area Manager to signal interest.

Cross fingers!

How about we just do that? Ignore the people and their political parties, and let's just hold a national vote on Universal Basic Income.
Let's see what the voter turnout would be when we're not voting for untrustworthy people in suits with vested interests.

If you let this Administration continue to kill people indiscriminately and without due process in international waters, it won’t be long before you’re also fine with them murdering American citizens.
