Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

It would be a full Electoral College sweep if a politician runs on eliminating spam calls, lowering the volume of broadcast ads, and hiring human operators to answer phone calls instead of useless virtual assistants that leave you yelling “human” and “operator” over and over into your phone.

How the New York Times described this takedown and arrest of a 16 year old, 100 pound teenager whose mother had just been dragged off by ICE:
“Police officers raced to stop her, and the teenager ended up on the ground.”

Jim Rappaport?
I worked on a Republican senate campaign.
I must stress that he was a *Massachusetts* Republican, pro choice, and Jewish. Also had a really hot wife. And, obviously, he didn't win.
Also it was 35 years ago.

If we are to believe Platner’s story:
He had the tattoo for 17 years and he, and everyone in his life, didn’t know what it meant. (Big stretch, I know!)
But now that he knows, wouldn’t he apologize? And say what he will do to fix the tattoo?
He didn’t do any of that.
That’s the problem.
