No, Christopher Columbus did not discover America; the land had been populated by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years before his arrival in 1492. Furthermore, Norse explorer Leif Erikson is believed to have reached North America centuries earlier.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

ICE said they were after “illegal immigrants.” Then they targeted anyone brown, anyone Black, the homeless, children and even journalists. And they’re just getting started. If you’re wondering how 1933 Germany felt—look around. You’re living it.

It’s actually incredible that as a society we never managed to find the political will to force elected officials to tell the truth on TV.

Trump is just as likely as not to outsource attacks on blue states when it becomes obvious they are not going to knuckle under. Putin style.

At least 6 vehicles racing through a quiet suburban neighborhood; multiple agents, all of them armed and masked.

the excessive response plus the violence against this 15 year old girl is outrageous.

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.

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 reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

A big question, AM ng many, did ICE house the boy in the same facility as adults?
