Northwest Chicago Suburb: ICE Agents Rip 15-Year-Old Girl from Car, Slam Her to Ground She Screams “I’m 15!” as Man Kneels on Her Neck

Child kidnapping by ICE targets autistic boy. Cruelty beyond belief. Not just traumatising a vulnerable child when he went to the bathroom but not telling his mother where he was for a week. Is this who Noam puppy killer is? Is this who Miller Goebbels disciple is? Is this who Trump is? Seems so

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.

MMWR is (now was) the most important epidemiological publication in the world. In July 19981 it alerted the world to a new disease threat when it reported the first cases of AIDS. Now Trump’s moronic health Secretary Kennedy has fired all its staff. Welcome back to the dark ages.

Don’t believe what you read in the press. The UK is not flirting with leaving the ECHR. Some right wing nut jobs like Farage and Badenoch keep talking about it but will never be in a position to impose their wet dream on the country despite the malign efforts of billionaire media barons

Stephen Gethins @stephengethins.bsky.social · 14h

The UK is heading down a dangerous & isolated path in flirting with leaving the European Convention on Human Rights. There is a space for the SNP to seize the ground of multilateralism and respect for the rules based system - www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

As UK flirts with leaving European Convention on Human Rights, SNP must stand by the rule of law

The quest for Scottish independence must adhere to democratic norms and Europe’s rules-based system – international recognition matters

People seem receptive to @zackpolanski.bsky.social media appearances.

Zack is his own man, he's got a strong message, and adept, and he's generating good word of mouth.

He's leading the way by standing up strongly for trans women and girls. That's welcome.
