ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

The orange cat thing has baffled me for years! Four years apparently...
Out of curiosity I did a google trends search for "are orange cats dumb". As you can see, there was nothing for 17 years and then a distinct change in late 2021 which is when @jortsthecat.bsky.social hit the internet. 😆

These House Dems are having an AIPAC-funded smiling vacation in a country currently bombing and starving millions of people with weapons they voted to send to that country.

Truly sickening. Stomach-churning. Ghouls.
