CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

in the words of Dylan "Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul"

Maybe there are people who are smarter but they are cowards or trapped in the idea that professionalism dictates obeying is better than using their power to slow down fascism? Maybe they dont take the threat seriously and think peaceful protests once every few months can do something?

No matter how smart you see yourself, most of us assume there are many out there WAY smarter who may not have our best interests in mind but at least would be working to stop THIS. But it kinda seems like that isn't true and there are is nobody protecting us except ourselves.

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.

For years, San Franciscans considered him the rare big-hearted billionaire. But days before his Dreamforce conference begins, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support President Trump sending the National Guard to SF and that Trump is doing “a great job.”

If we want them to back down they need to know they wont just have to testify, but they will face real time behind bars if they have assaulted people

The biggest risk of all these funny super realistic AI videos is no t that people will believe things that are not true, it is that videos can no longer provide proof of anything, so things can get bad and be caught on tape and most people can assume its AI till they see it with their own eyes

Benioff wants the military in the street to protect his conference, which Lefty tech workers will pay to go to :(

Yes we need to still have jobs to support our activism but at some point living a double life means performative resistance while supporting your own oppression

Where are the calls to boycott Dreamforce? I hate how progressive and even radical tech workers separate their work and personal lives in a way which has enabled tech leaders who had seemed to be left leaning in the past to become outright fascists calling for troops in the streets.

"He does not have the skills to accomplish what everyone is afraid of"
When push comes to shove, we have way more power than he does. Its mainly fear and thinking when things get worse all we can do are old forms of Lefty protest that makes us feel at risk and hopeless

Multiple Chicago schools went on lockdown today because of ICE, including my son’s and the one I’m on the council of. Spent the last two hours standing outside, trying to make sure nothing happens to these kids. This is horrible.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.

Impound funds for deportation. Give ICE the USAID treatment. Refuse to collect government-backed debt. Purge MAGA loyalists from the executive branch.
