In June, millions of everyday Americans from every walk of life peacefully took to the streets and declared with one voice: NO KINGS!
And President Trump’s attempt at a coronation collapsed under the strength of a movement rising against his abuses of power.

Please join me on 10-18-25!

A poster:
Many demonstrators outdoors, holding protest signs and flags: NO KINGS!
The image of a crown with a red ‘X’ drawn through it; and, text that reads, “ Power belongs to the people. Join the movement. Saturday, October 18th. NO KINGS.”

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.

Every sign in DC marks the loss of someone’s neighbor, someone’s loved one, someone’s friend.

Every sign marks yet another step toward authoritarianism. wapo.st/4nJqjZQ

Signs popping up around D.C. note: ‘ICE kidnapping happened here’

The signs range in style and mark numerous locations where people have been taken by federal agents.

It is insane to not pay our troops.

Democrats are here. Republicans need to come back from their vacation, work with us, and we need to pay our troops.

PDX, the regime is tweaking out over the fact that they can't get us to riot.

They are frantic to get us to do something to justify their extremism.
Do not give them what they want. They want to manufacture a war. Don't let them.

We have to power to deprive them. So deprive them.

Power on! That small step function is the first power on in space of the COSSMo instrument from yesterday. The BU student-developed payload is on the Carruthers Geocoronal Observatory and will monitor the sun in UV and soft X-ray. #heliophysics

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Workers at Wafler Farms are fed up. They've been waiting for two years since they first voted for the UFW to get their contract, but all the company gives them is delays. Sign their petition demanding Wafler sign the contract now.
