The problem with being a liberal and empathetic is that I still feel sorry for these self-damaging shitheads, even though they will never ever, ever, feel sorry about anything bad that happens to me.

That's Boston Light, this afternoon, out in the Hahbah. It's the site of the first lighthouse in the Colonies, later burned by the British, and then rebuilt at the orders of George Washington and his original No Kings protesters.

The boy is a 7th-grader. He apparently mouthed off to to a cop during an ICE sweep and was bundled off 500 miles from home.

The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States. Doesn't matter. Wrong color skin.
