I was SHOCKED that she posted that. But I guess it’s come out eventually anyway since she’s pressing charges

thickamus prime @0hbetave.bsky.social · 18h

Cardi making that lady audit her accounts. Why would she admit to us there are suspicious charges? Should have taken that to the grave.

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.

When I realized that these people were choosing to be in my life and have me in theirs and all I have to do it be considerate and be myself. Made me want to do for them as they do for me

How did you learn to be a friend ? Was it something you just knew to do or did someone teach you ?

Without downloading anything, where are you mentally right now?

Nik @jacaristar.bsky.social · 8d

My millennial complaint is, I do not want to download an app or create an account for every little thing. Especially not an online purchase. I already have enough spam and marketing emails

Nik @jacaristar.bsky.social · 8d

This girl said “niggas will get you pregnant and then go to jail”. And it’s not funny at all, but it was very funny to me.

I feel slightly numb and mostly exhausted at the amount of antisemitism posting about antisemitism has triggered on my BlueSky posts

Being Jewish on social media means having to expect it, and I’d almost got desensitised it

Almost

To all the antisemites, I say: f*ck you

You asking if I have earth placements then finishing with “what do WE know” is very funny to me.

I’m a Taurus (._. )

Do you have any earth placements by chance? I’m a Virgo moon and this is a fact for me. Their life just crumbles.
But what do we know?

If folks would’ve just listened to me, they wouldn’t have issues but nooo. I say I told you so every day

Nik @jacaristar.bsky.social · 12d

I’m sorry it was very funny to me 🤣🤣🤣

My bald headed boyfriend told me he was going to the barber and I said why?

He got very very upset by that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Especially when I asked how they decide where his beard ends and has he ever considered connecting both sides at the top like headphones.
