The ICE facility in Burlington is also brutal. Just this week, 3 people were arrested for trying to bring food to those being detained there.

No response by ICE nearly 3 months after request for info & over 2 months past date to respond by, so I emailed @repauchincloss.bsky.social. Please ask your rep/senator to take this travesty seriously.

Constituent web form letter to Rep. Jake Auchincloss with subject line "Respone of ICE by July 10, 2025 to your June 25, 2025 info request?"
Body of message: "Dear Rep. Auchincloss, Thank you for making a personal visit to meet with Marcelo Gomes da Silva and hear of the cruel and unconstitutional treatment perpetrated upon him and other detainees at this illegally operated prison camp. Can you let me know if you recieved a reply from ICE regarding your letter (along with other members of the MA Congressional Delegation) dated June 25, 2025 with a requested response by July 10, 2025? I have not heard of or read any reply as as you know from having visited the facility and heard the reports, the situation needs urgent attention. It has been nearly three months since you wrote and over two months past when you requested a response. Thank you for your immediate attention to the violations of the US Constitution occuring in our state." Nathan G. Phillips

Word on the street is ICE kidnappers are ramping up in Burlington MA today with parked vehicles spilling over into National Development (of Newton, MA) parking lots.

Please consider signing this petition to NatDev.com to stop giving courtesy parking to ICE.

Wow what an ad.

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.

Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

These protests and direct actions are not just symbolic.

People are responding to masked kidnappers storming local homes and businesses to steal families. ICE is kidnapping children at immigration proceedings and separating them from their parents. They kidnapped a 4th grader from my city.

This is a vitally important point to remember.

Big force displays often reveal deep weaknesses—and a profound self-awareness of them.

They've already lost. One Home Depot raid and they had to FEDERALIZE the guard when 100 unarmed neighbors protested? This regime is in trouble. Big trouble.

Reports like that of the LA Times are why streamers were pleading with the public to not believe the media spins. They put out fires ICE started. They treated victims wounded by ICE. They didn’t run over ICE. ICE ran over them.

The media spins. We all know who the threat are.

I replied to this last night and I'm going to send one more slightly desperate post now. My ex is really terrified of this move and this fundraiser is basically the only carrot I have. Every dollar makes it easier for me to get my trans daughter to safety before puberty. gofund.me/8664c1dc
