Free Press/Weiss is opposite of Gawker/Denton, (article quality, knowing how to make money for self, etc) so I’m hopeful we’re starting new era

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 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 have a rule like this but it’s for print journalists not having second jobs doing tv news because their first jobs are so important

Probably would be better to go with “young people” than “poor people” if you want to get at facts

That was offset by higher spending on essentials, so everyone is wrong

The Texas Military Department confirmed to @taskandpurpose.com it had replaced some of the 200 National Guard troops sent to Chicago for not being "in compliance" with validation standards. This came after photos of heavyset NG members were widely mocked. taskandpurpose.com/news/texas-n...

He actually didn’t write most of this stuff it seems like (it’s based on something he published with co-author recently out of college.) He’s Ubermensch relying on an intern basically

He liked what the neocons were saying about democracy, but too much of an idiot to realize they were also idiots.

PEPFAR came from real place, I think. But he’s so so dumb.

Not before 9/11 but after. I think it takes really accepting his intellect to be below child level to accept that. Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al different story.
