Rosa Elena Paqui, a Kichwa Elder has died of cardiac respiratory arrest after inhaling tear gas. This is Daniel Noboa's legacy.

Statement from Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (CONAIE):

conaie We express our deep solidarity and condolences to the family and community of Gunudel, Pueblo Kichwa Saraguro, for the death of our sister Rosa Elena Paqui, due to a cardiac respiratory arrest caused by the inhalation of tear gases used indiscriminately by the police.

We join the pain of your loved ones and demand truth and justice for Rosa Elena and for all the social fighters detained and fallen in defense of the rights of our people.

It feels mean and crass to make some snide remark about the inanity of dancing frogs and their inability to meaningfully stop things like this. Mostyk because people act like you kicked s puppy when you point out the obvious and well documented failure if these tactics.

Yesterday ICE brutally beat members of the Unpresidented Brass band and broke their instruments. A clarinetest was dragged away and as far as I've heard is still missing.

My ancestors were almost wiped out by colonizers and their smallpox so you'll have to excuse me if I don't consider you a leftist if you refuse to mask. I'm not letting this generation of colonizers kill me because they don't understand basic science.

A post from @joadsprocket.bsky.social that reads "I am not interested in living in a society of Universal Public Masking and neither are most people. This ask is not reasonable, and the invocation of solidarity in service of it is ridiculous." The post is quoting a blocked post by @chantzy.bsky.social which reads "Dear liberals, if you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. It's one small act of solidarity with millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health"

The second post by @joadsprocket.bsky.social reads "Also a fine example of 'anyone not doing what I want them to is a Liberal."

The third post by @joadsprocket.bsky.social is a screenshot of the original chantzy.bsky.social post with the caption "ope"

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.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

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.

Don't forget to spend your FSA money. Lots of things that you can purchase using those funds will be of great use and interest to places like homeless shelters, domestic violence organizations, mutual aid groups & more.

Consider buying menstrual products for one thing.

🇦🇷The Argentina Bailout: Who Really Benefits?

The Trump administration just finalized a $20 billion financial rescue for Argentina, but critics suggest it’s really a bailout for Wall Street hedge funds.

📌 How the $20 Billion Works
🔸The package has three components:

💰The Wall Street Connection:
Major U.S. investors — BlackRock, Fidelity, PIMCO, and billionaires Stan Druckenmiller and Robert Citrone, all heavy holders of Argentine debt — stand to gain the most. Citrone, a former Soros colleague of Bessent, reportedly urged intervention as Argentine bonds risked default. The deal now shields those bets with U.S. support.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and seven other Democrats have moved to block the package, warning that it privatizes profits while socializing losses — echoing 2008’s bailout dynamics. They say they are investigating whether hedge funds influenced the Treasury’s decision.

🌾 Domestic Fallout
U.S. soybean farmers say the plan rewards Argentina’s export surge while undercutting their prices. Watch Breaking Points (

@emilyjashinsky
