ICE is now hurling tear gas at babies. When will this insane lawlessness by a masked secret police squad end?

Yeah, that is a tear gas canister being fired toward the retreating couple holding the baby

Remember when you tried to tell us “the younger generations don’t think that way.” And “the young people will save us.” There are a lot of great, humane, decent, bright young people out there. But there are also a lot of these young people. And they’re not going anywhere.

Some of those people are currently on the staff of elected Republicans, in fact. They’re part of the present of the GOP.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

I just feel y’all need to be aware of that the membership of Young Republicans is currently attacking the few Republicans who have condemned the group chat.

These aren’t a few “bad apples.” This is who Young Republicans are. “I love Hitler” is the future of the GOP.

The fact there’s a man in our White House who constantly expresses his hatred for half of the country and makes clear his desire to strip away programs supported by Democrats should tell millions & millions why they need to be a part of the No Kings protest if they still believe in America.

He concluded “I could care less how many deep state judges say different. You kids may as well get used to this country being split in half. All I’m going to say is be prepared for what’s coming!!!!!” I keep wondering: does he still think this? Who else shares this sentiment still? 4+ years later?

As Trump continues to say deranged lies, I wonder if they still believe it all. I wonder if any truth or reality has finally cracked through the propaganda they consume. I wonder what they and others like them are capable of after they’ve been fed a steady stream of hate for years.

I keep thinking about what a relative wrote to me on Facebook in 2021 the day before Biden’s inauguration (a mere 13 days after the January 6th insurrection). They never apologized. They never took back their threat. I no longer speak to them. But their words haunt me.

The secret masked “police” are angry when they can’t kidnap people in secret.

Word to the wise: do not fly internationally into Logan. All of the major public detainments of Legal Residents and Citizens at airports have been out of Logan.

Kat Stuart @luckykatstuart.bsky.social · 2d

Anyone in Boston an immigration lawyer or know one who can help this woman? Her husband is detained at Logan over a dismissed misdemeanor from 2017. He’s a legal resident of the US. She just asked for help an hour ago.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility
By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago

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 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.
