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.

"Wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus" might be the most astounding seven words any NYC mayoral candidate has ever spoken.

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

guards ignore—but are trained—that withdrawal is a life threatening condition, and ignoring someone in withdrawal is both deliberate and indifferent

the fact that they were *wrong* about this person’s emergency doesn’t make their conduct any less deliberate or indifferent

“Regime official spreading propaganda in public spaces on big TV screen” is a scene synonymous with a fascist dystopia because it’s in LITERALLY EVERY BOOK, MOVIE AND TV SHOW EVER MADE ABOUT THAT and it ASTONISHES me how an administration comprised entirely of failed theater kids didn’t realize this

These guys have gotten incredibly rich by fleecing the government with subpar tech that was designed for rentseeking rather than performance. A smart Dem agenda item would be to build internal tech capacity. The fact that it would punish these guys is just a silver lining.

Someone on Twitter posted a photo of themselves doing a happy dance as they receive a hot plate of fajitas. Then "Raw Egg Nationalist" on Twitter retweets them, writing: It's incredible that these people exist, but they really do. These are the people who justify the demographic replacement of Western countries in terms of the variety of street food and how many different kinds of fried-meat-and-vegetables in flatbread they can buy.

SAYING YOU WOULD VOTE FOR OBAMA A THIRD TIME IS LITERALLY DOING A BRADLEY WHITFORD IN GET OUT

Il Pomodoro @dabenner.bsky.social • 2h
Saying (i) a specific group of Israelis and (ii) the entire population of Gaza have suffered is not on net a pro Israel statement. And the last line is very specifically humanizing everyone.

Il Pomodoro @dabenner.bsky.social • 2h for this take i get the Brad Whitford in Get Out treatment. Yes, I would vote for him a third time. So would you.

The "ultraviolence" Andy is talking about, when "Antifa nearly killed him", is when he got part of a drink poured on him and he pretended it gave him such severe brain damage that he dropped some fruit once and had therefore been "robbed of the confidence in holding my own food."

hannah gais @hannahgais.bsky.social · 1d

Those are three people in inflatable frog suits.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

Someday we're gonna discuss how "virtue signaling" as denigration is an evangelical Christian smokescreen intended to make doing imperfect good morally indistinguishable from the perfect nothing they do to help literally anything.

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

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

A good time to remind people that Clinton was gearing up to run in 2020, and the only thing that stopped her was people were so uninterested in seeing her on her tour with Bill that one of the Clintonland people got her to realize she'd lose and it'd be humiliating:

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

Janet Mills's campaign account just posted this video of her saying that she just announced her campaign against Susan Collins. #MESen. Mills, 77, is expected to jump in the race against Collins. She would face Graham Platner, Jordan Wood and Dan Kleban.

I just announced my campaign for U.S. Senate to defeat Susan Collins because Maine families deserve a senator who fights back and stands up for us.

So please, can you donate 5 or 10 dollars right now to help me flip this Senate seat blue?
