“They took my life away for nothing.” James Carver spent 36 years in prison for allegedly setting one of the deadliest fires in Massachusetts history.

My latest for @theappeal.org:

“They took my life away for nothing,” Carver said.

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour WATCH: Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen Aliya Rahman describes being detained by ICE

You can fight diversity all you want but in the end it always wins.

Folks, every single video you've seen on here (or anywhere online) of local law enforcement arresting ICE is fake. They're all AI-generated. They're not real. I know they may look real to you, but they're not. Please, for the love of all that's good, stop sharing these videos.

- his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets
- the FBI is helping him steal the election
- he’s threatening war against multiple allies

Tell Congress: Defund ICE if reforms are not met Contact Congress today!

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

Outrageous.

Hard to explain just how big this is. Every food business is propped up by the bar. Charging $5 a bottle for Miller Lite that cost the bar 50 cents per is what keeps the lights on and allows the restaurant to make the bone marrow confit sliders or whatever. The sports page of a paper basically
