ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

By now, Democrats should have set up a 800 number for people to call. They should have thousands of attorneys lined up to work on these cases. But Chuck Schumer has to get back to his porridge and Hakeem Jeffries isn't allowed to talk without AIPAC's approval.

lol, I was gonna say. that would be quite the find at a thrift store. fwiw I think you can find Lifted to order online. for me unless it’s a preorder for a new record I generally stick to what I can find in record stores so I’m not sure.

To start this goddamn song? Tonight!
Here's a goddamn song…
For all you goddamn people

LIFTED or
The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.
