Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

He could’ve just gone to therapy.

He wanted something unique.

So he changed his name.

The full name now fills seven pages on his birth certificate, and his original passport required six extra pages.

This man could tell you his name, but it’d take roughly 20 minutes | CNN

For most people, introductions are a fleeting formality, an exchange of names accomplished in seconds. However, for Laurence Watkins, this simple task becomes an extraordinary feat of endurance.

Every product that’s classified as a “supplement” should be checked for harmful ingredients. All of it is exempt from regulations.

What’s the most frustrating thing is that he had 60 democrats in the senate. Something that we will likely never see again. And the damn “blue dogs” refused to vote for the thing that literally won them that majority. It was his number one campaign issue. And they said: nah, our donors don’t want it

They’re also running them on almost every local radio station around here too.

At some point governors are going to have to actually start protecting their citizens and not just making statements. If this means having state an local officers confronting federal officers then so be it.

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

The solutions are so obvious.

Mamdani is polling at 85% among men 18-34. 85%.

For anyone seeking the elusive male vote: I have an idea of how you could win it (but your corporate donors aren’t going like it).

Screengrab from an NYT opinion piece dated 10/11/2025: “Democrats have been pulling their hair out trying to figure out how to win back young men, who voted for Mr. Trump in droves. In a post-primary survey of likely New York voters, Mr. Mamdani was polling at 85 percent among men 18 to 34. That's not just Brooklyn hipsters and aura-farming nepo babies. It's a whole city's worth of young dudes, from small business owners in Queens to warehouse workers in the Bronx.”

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.
