Rafael Veraza, 25, said he pulled into Sam’s Club with his wife and baby on a weekend grocery run on Nov. 8 when he saw a commotion surrounding what looked to be unmarked vehicles full of immigration officers in Cicero, west of Chicago. The family decided to leave the area without shopping, he said. On his way out, he believes a passing agent mistook him for one of the protesters who have followed immigration officials throughout Chicagoland in an effort to warn residents and document their operations. Veraza’s wife happened to be filming the parking lot scene on her smartphone because they wanted to one day show their 1-year-old the turbulent times she was born in. She aimed her camera at a passing SUV and captured the moment when an officer filled the family’s vehicle with a mist of pepper spray.

Video shows the moment Rafael Veraza says federal agents shot pepper-spray into his car, where he was with his wife and 1-year-old daughter. (Video: Zoeann Murphy/The Washington Post) Veraza and his wife poured water on their crying baby’s face and rushed to the hospital. A doctor called in a poison control specialist for an expert opinion because they’d never seen such a young person pepper sprayed, Veraza said. They advised bringing the child to a specialist for follow-up visits to gauge potential long term damage to the child’s lungs and eyes. McLaughlin denied that federal agents pepper-sprayed anyone outside of Sam’s Club in a statement issued after the incident to the news media. She did not offer an explanation for what is shown in the video.

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray.

The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter.

These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby.

We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves.

I went to AEW in Atlanta tonight and all I got was three drinks, to stand a foot away from Hangman while he threw a Christmas tree, and these two t-shirts

We went to @allelitewrestling.com Dynamite tonight and @galencrawley.bsky.social got to show off her brand new @hangmanpage.bsky.social shirt.

Definitely the better move to let the literal fascists just win the election

I wish Biden were alive to see this

This was a disease that was thought to have been eradicated a decade ago.

Here we are, back to measles, hookworm and probably endemic leprosy and tuberculosis soon enough. Before RFK is done, we'll be seeing outbreaks of kuru, the disease you only get from eating the brains of your ancestors.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

If I didn’t already hate women’s sizing, being pregnant (and now postpartum) would have absolutely radicalized me. I am wearing an EXTRA LARGE for some items in some brands and I am 5’2” and 130 lbs. What proportions do companies think women are??

Just had breakfast at a restaurant with, apparently, the most corners in the entire world. Having The Bear-style flashbacks to a culinary career I never even had @jkobbster.bsky.social

I have reached peak Pregnant Lady at 34 weeks, buying a container of cut-up pineapple at Publix and eating the whole thing in my car before I drive home.

@jkobbster.bsky.social has introduced me to Rock N’ Jock Basketball and I am immediately a huge proponent

Is Ariana “right” that she shouldn’t have to be around her ex? Absolutely. But then there’s no story. You can be right and boring. She and Katie can go ride off into the sunset and see how the sandwich shop does without a show to prop it up.

Lala was right, there’s no show if you refuse to film with your costars. Ariana “I won reality star of the year” - okay, how you gonna do that again when you’re no longer on a reality show?

i can't get over the fact that a journalist met the woman cormac mccarthy molested when she was a teenager and then wrote an article about her (honestly amazing) life story in the style of a Cormac McCarthy, as a fan tribute.

This tweet literally changed my life, I think about it all the time

This, exactly.

It is uproariously funny, and somehow even more than that it is kindhearted and a love letter to the city of Detroit.

i admit i live in an echo chamber of leftist politics, the only exception being when i hear things said by the president, the next president, the supreme court, members of congress, people on the news, my family, or people i encounter in my daily life.

I guess for a white male, "we're not going back" doesn't resonate. No one is taking away your rights, you're just fine. Don't pretend you thought she meant not going back to Biden's policies. She made herself quite clear.

Let me just say, the level of offensiveness of this type of bullshit is off the charts. I am a Jewish journalist in a gay, interracial family. I don't want to sit here playing oppression bingo with people but I am deeply worried about the current moment for many deeply personal reasons.

Post by Jamie Selzer: Michelle Obama: “Our food environment isn’t healthy and we should explore some changes” Republicans: “You’re a communist taking our freedom!” RFK Jr: “Literally anything added to food is poison” Republicans: “Agreed! I demand you make all my food choices for me!”

Well, this gets it exactly right, doesn’t it?

Email from Disney+ about an “Upcoming Price Change” that is “going into effect” on October 17, 2024 - which was a month ago.

Are these accounts official? @disneyplustr.bsky.social @disneyplushelp.bsky.social Why did I get this email today telling me about a price increase that went into effect a month ago?

lots of "by any means necessary" guys amped up by the possibility that the necessary means might be "risking horrifically violent death at the hands of militias and/or the state" but strangely unwilling to consider that they might be "doing the dishes" or "making common cause with winemoms"

Me just now, realizing “Inside Wants Out” isn’t available on Spotify anymore.

If Gus Walz didn’t make you cry tonight, you and I are not the same.

Seriously, the only one of these 7 states that the Democrats could MAYBE write off would be North Carolina, but their GOP candidate for Governor is an overt fascist!

This SHOULD energize Democrats, progressives, and even centrists! Get in the fight, Biden campaign!

Written off GA?? Wtf? We were the heroes of 2020 😭
