New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Subway cars bound for the MBTA are detained at US ports, and that's leading the company finishing the cars to furlough half its workforce in MA: https://bit.ly/4qE3zfA
CRRC to furlough 161 Massachusetts workers due to detained subway car shells
The manufacturer under contract to build the MBTA's new Red Line fleet will furlough nearly half its workforce in Massachusetts this spring as subway car shells from China remain detained at U.S. ports.

Extraordinary way to present two sides that is unintentionally revealing: “Americans believe this. Republicans believe that.”
Bari Weiss is now infecting the headline writing. Note when a large majority of Americans tells the CBS pollster that they consider the protesters in Minneapolis to be well justified, she goes with only what Republicans—a dwindling number to start with—think.

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

I posted about the fifth detained death less than 24 hours ago. Now, ICE reports its sixth detained death of 2026. Call your representatives in Congress now and tell them no more funding for detention. ICE clearly can’t handle it.

At Boston government center right now, next to the federal building. There are thousands of people gathered here in a massive crowd around the speakers against ICE.
A helicopter is circling lower than usual.

You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.
It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.
Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.
