Missing teen with autism transferred to refugee facility by HPD He is currently being held at an Office for Refugee Resettlement facility.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

Gavin Newsom isn’t your little boyfriend: all he wants is money, and the Resolute desk. He will throw everyone under the bus to get there, too. What a sleaze: pretending to be a big tough guy while being too weasely to protect the vulnerable in his own state.

Denigrating Columbus isn’t revisionist history, Columbus Day is. In his own time, Columbus was viewed as a scumbag and was arrested and stripped of his position for brutality, which is a polite way of saying raping, torturing, and murdering the people he was supposed to be governing.

A typhoon hit the west coast of Alaska and several homes and communities have been washed out. Most of the communities are indigenous, so…no press coverage.

They also can’t count on FEMA.

Sad and ridiculous.

Trump’s DOJ Cuts Are a Disaster for Sexual Violence Survivors The administration has slashed funding and wants to implement ideological conditions on grants for programs that both support survivors and prevent these crimes in the first place.

I'm in @newrepublic.com today, covering how Trump’s grant terminations and new ideological funding conditions are hurting survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. Cancelled grants include those for emergency housing and interpretation services for deaf and hard-of-hearing survivors.

It feels weird “liking” this, given the subject, but excellent work.

I’ve watched George spank JD on repeat so many times I think it’s a new kink.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

They only have 6’ in their head as the distance they wanted to weaponize during Floyd protests/covid.

And such a coward, to say it and then pretend he didn’t say it. Afraid of a camera, with all his weapons, buddies and all.

There are videos of these guys being run off by folks with whistles. They do and say only what they think they can get away with, and they cave with even tissue resistance.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Israel has stopped its military offensive in Gaza and that’s a significant initial step—but saying “Peace in the Middle East” has been achieved is giving Bush W 2003 “Mission Accomplished” vibes.

They are SO scared of the mass display of opposition that they’ll see on Saturday that they’re claiming the protesters will all be paid.

Flop sweat, folks.

If they were a truly strong majority, they wouldn’t care.

They’re not.

ICE Stranded a 17-Year-Old on I-20 After Arresting His Father. The Mississippi Dad Now Faces Deportation. A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

For a thrifter, it has to feel amazing. Get up one morning, poof! Find of the century!

Quid Pro Qatar Quo

💯Absolutely true of any of them, though none more so than Obama: he was a gifted writer and speaker. He made the distinction.

I hope she births herself as a part of a femme-aissance.

With this administration, I grow deeply worried for our nation’s tribal lands and sovereignty: with them grabbing national park lands, I worry they’re going to snatch back treaty lands to protect their precious oil.

You.
Are.
Allowed.
To.
Insult.

Police.

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

Tweet from the VP: Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt. My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Mississippi Baby Dies of Whooping Cough Amid Rising Cases A baby in Mississippi has died of whooping cough for the first time since 2012. The baby was less than two months old—too young for vaccination.

A baby has died of whooping cough in Mississippi amidst their worst pertussis outbreak in more than a decade.

If you have a loved one with an infant or are near babies a lot, please consider getting a pertussis booster, as is recommended by legitimate science and healthcare professionals.

And maybe get their pension back?

It hurts to watch, honestly.

It’s a cold case: you know that tailor assassinated his professional credibility before his final fitting. 🤪

"no more superficial individual expression"

Yeah but they ditched most of the people in leadership who earned their way there in favor of their cronies. It, again, feels like landed gentry vs the rest of us.

Great news!

Pretty sure they have him post AI of himself to muddy the waters… it’s a war on reality as much as culture.
