I was looking at books that are going to be published on Tuesday & I noticed eric trump apparently "wrote" a book. Oh, way I laughed!! 😂🤣 Anywho, if you took out all the lies, this is what the book would look like.

A couple of days ago, I mentioned to my husband that I wanted to buy a treadmill & he didn't really say anything (which is typical), so I took it as "not a no" & bought one. Waiting to see if he says anything to me now. 😬😅😂

The MAGAt pivot from “leftists are snowflake crybabies” to “leftists are radical violent terrorists” needs to be studied.

You know how Repubs are always screaming about lazy people on welfare who refuse to work .... I found the real lazy people who are paid salaries & receive amazing benefits (including health insurance & pensions!!) with taxpayer funds 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

We should mandate a work requirement for House Republicans to get their health care. How about they have to work at least one week a month to keep their government health insurance?

You can't even buy a *t-shirt* for $30 & this clown is bitching that he can't buy a button-up for $30. 🫠

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

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.
