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.

I would submit that mass expulsions based on nationality, apparently often of people who have been residents long enough to be in receipt of pensions and who simply failed to submit paperwork, is not in line with the "European values" that measures like this are supposedly securing

"Only when they are no longer paid a pension do they realize that something is wrong," Maira Roze, the head of OCMA, told Latvian Television's "De facto" program. "Then they call. Why am I not being paid my pension? We tell them: You have no residence permit. They ask: Where is my residence permit? We say: You should comply with the law," she said.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

like seriously team, I know y'all are working on both improving Discover and on better reply sentiment filtering and all, but it's going to take a while to tune it properly and a "never show my post on Discover" setting would be a 10 minute fix that would get 65% of why people want private accounts

I had a post reach the Discover feed today and was once again reminded of how many people on this site are not house trained.

So many ICE flights every day. Avelo is just a tiny part of the problem, one I intend to keep fighting.

Time to see if the crystalized "true grapefruit" has the nice furocoumarins like grapefruit spindrift does.

This reads as "we're only gonna release the hostages we already agree had no part at all in the conflict"

Drop Site @dropsitenews.com · 13h

CNN reports Israel will not release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya as part of the ceasefire deal with Hamas. The eminent pediatrician was detained in Dec. during Israel’s raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital, after he refused to abandon patients under siege.

Sooooo

Just releasing civilian hostages they absolutely know did absolutely nothing in the conflict?

So, uh, what part of "necessary to life, safety, or security of property" is bringing back HR staff to fire people?

This is frightening -> "The staff of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the journal that reports on health trends and emerging infectious threats, was also laid off. "
