Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.

I think this is hilarious, it’s so 2025, but then again I don’t live in a fascist country. My block lists seem to work!

Thoughts & prayers to my US friends! Seriously though, have you considered protesting?* Like a 10m person march on Washington or a National Strike?

Everyone’s talking about Milpay, but reminder that USDA is currently using excess 25 funds to pay for WIC and School Lunch. They say they have like maybe a month of that left.

Red States are going to lose their fucking minds if they can’t draw those soon.

I'm seeing many posts about George #Orwell tonight, for some reason. Were he here today, something I'm sure would upset him is how crap most Americans are at making #tea. And there's no excuse, it's not that hard, yet here we are.

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.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

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.

The NYC Department of Correction is extremely serious about projecting an image of reform, lawfulness, and considered, sober judgment these days, so it has decided to rename its Lower Manhattan jail complex after... multiply disgraced criminal Bernie Kerik.

First impressions of “Ace,” new album from #MadisonCunningham. It is very mellow. The character of guitar playing so prevalent in her first(ish) album is not present here. Instead, she seems to be really into clarinets. Suspect this album will take a few listens to really really sink in.

All Sherrill is campaigning on is that Jack is Maga, as if this would dissuade R's from voting for that. They don't understand we're way, way past that point. Like 8 years past it.
