I don't know see the point of Dems going on the Ministry of Propaganda channel, but that was damned good.

It's ironic that this also involves Fox News "reporters" since Fox did everything in its power to bring us to this.

We're going to see a return to "WHITES ONLY" signs in store front windows because of this Supreme Court. The Republican party has brought this to us.

I don't ever want to hear about "both sides" again.

No one should be fooled by this. Fox News is never on anyone’s side.

Anyone who honestly believes this administration of bigots and imbeciles is saving Christianity has never been a Christian.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

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.

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.

I wonder if he could have shown up in Deadpool as Tracey?

I would have bought a ticket just to see that.

My dad was a Fed Ex driver making a delivery to I guess the building they were staying in at the time and ended up riding in an elevator with Beaty and Madonna. Beatty was wearing the Dick Tracey coat, and he said they both looked miserable.

It's not a very dramatic story but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This sounds like a Steven Soderbergh film starring George Clooney.

Every accusation is a confession.

Everything they believe about Soros is a description of the relationship between wealthy rightwing scions funding the conservative movement for decades. Back as far as the late fifties.

Read Jane Mayer's "Dark Money" to see how the GOP was completely taken over.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."
