A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.
The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.
Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.

The kind of stupid viciousness that is the hallmark of this administration
National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)
And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.
This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago.
She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media.
All charges against her have been dropped.
In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

If I hadnt experienced Obama, I couldnt doubt this man - as is, I just hope he turns out to be the dude he seems to be. For New Yorkers, for all of us, really. I want someone like he has repeatedly shown himself to be, to be mayor of a major city in this country - to be in charge.
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?

He has been giving the same answer for months but he's asked about it every interview. These questions aren't being asked to inform the public. They exist to continually suggest to viewers that Mamdani secretly hates Jews.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

Is there a specific edible for like migraine nausea?
I feel it all in my head, like a nausea-pain, that isn't really dizziness? And it's different from other nausea that I feel in my throat and torso like the barfy kind
I think both me and my mum might start looking into medication in edibles?

Also, like, seriously, just get your flu shot every season. Your local pharmacy is fucking begging to give it to you. They would absolutely love to give you a flu AND a covid vaccine, and you should let them. Do it before January, in case you dont have insurance after that; w/ins its *usually* free.
Get your flu shots people. Last year was the worst flu season in 10 years and don't love even a small regional slice like this looking much worse already.

A French ICC judge sanctioned by the US over the Netanyau arrest warrant says all his accounts with US companies have been closed, making it “like being sent back to the 1990s.”

![What can governments do?
In the face of US sanctions, European authorities can implement the "blocking statute" [a mechanism used in the past that protects EU citizens and companies from the effects of sanctions imposed by third countries]. Europe needs greater sovereignty, especially in digital and banking matters. That is the only way to reduce the impact of sanctions and, indirectly, protect the victims of international crimes. Today, there is no room for naivety. Without sovereignty – military, health, financial and digital – we can no longer guarantee the rule of law. Some European lawmakers have become aware of these issues. Still, this awareness must grow among national governments and the European Commission, because behind the sanctions against the ICC lies the entire question of the rule of law.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5rxcpjus3ple6jpbuafvm4og/bafkreiflzi2b3svul3iq3omdpk3yl4kydla7cisw7ireldm7zne2majeoq@jpeg)
