the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

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.

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

Maria Bartiromo tries to reassure Fetterman: "You know, senator, what you just said, it's really shamefully on your colleagues. You feeling isolated -- that is absolutely outrageous. You are a breath of fresh air. I know our viewers are grateful."

AI was a tool of fascism from the jump but we are getting lots of evidence that it is being used deliberately to influence the fascist president by presenting him with alternate realities and massaging his ego.

Trump just posted a screenshot of a tweet from the Prime Minister of Israel account, calling for him to get the Nobel Peace Prize.

It uses an AI image of Trump and Netanyahu, of course.

A tweet from Donald Trump that reads “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!! President DJT”

Incensed by the inaction of Congress?
Tell your electeds!

Here's a Sunday dose of vehemence-easy to send with @resist.bot

resist.bot/petitions/PK...

I am outraged by the inaction of Con-gress. Your collective cowardice and truancy is a betrayal of your oaths to the constitution and of your duty to those you should be honored to serve.
The Republican House has worked 12 out of the last 79 calendar days.
In any other job those do-nothing members would have been sacked and lost their health insurance.
The senate and house have ceded their constitutionally assigned powers to the executive.
The senate failed to hold Pam Bondi to account. Where are the censures and subpoenas? When you are going to start impeachment?

These watches appear to be ripoffs of famous designs. Likely from some factory that normally produces "homage" watches and they just swapped out the branding.
