He is 13. A 7th grader w/ a pending asylum case. Being held more than 500 miles from home & housed w/ adults. He called his mom crying, & reported that he’s sleeping on concrete w/ an aluminum blanket.

How is this anything other than sick & shameful? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

Statement from Whitney Snyder, HuffPost EIC:

“The restrictions Secretary Hegseth is attempting to place on the press are flatly unconstitutional. HuffPost will not agree to a document clearly aimed at snuffing out actual news-gathering at the nation’s largest and best-funded federal department.”

Hey fuck faces: these people have NOTHING to do with whatever agenda you’re trying to push. They are simply practicing their religion.

If you think they *are* pushing some agenda because of said religion, congratulations! You’re an antisemite!

It’s just that easy!

It’s heartbreaking and appalling to know that members of Temple Israel woke up to such a blatant display of antisemitism today. In the face of hate, our neighbors are offering care, solidarity, and action, and I will continue to fight antisemitism with the people of this city.

Veterans served our country not knowing what they would encounter. If anything, we need to investigate why veterans aren’t getting *better* care.

Don’t let them trick you into slashing benefits for veterans.

Prince releases “Purple Rain” as a single 41 years ago today — originally recorded live in Minneapolis, “though at the time we didn’t know that was the plan,” said keyboardist Lisa Coleman.

“Prince was really excited and kept pumping us up: ‘We’re making history tonight.’ It all makes sense now.”
