The ruthless ICE raid in Allston is a blatant attack on our communities. The Trump administration is targeting and terrorizing hard-working individuals. The cruelty is the point. We will demand answers and support our neighbors.

So just openly nationalizing companies now? That sentence would have lead to impeachment and removal from office for any other President in our nation's history.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

So many people seem to have forgotten this lesson.
My public school teachers showed this movie to us in class, for educational purposes. (The lesson was that the US was a nation of immigrants and that's what made us great.)
It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Even if you didn’t have a strong feeling about this election, the unhinged behavior of Mamdani’s opponents and their supporters requires rejection at the ballot box. Politically, Mamdani needs to win to send a message that this type of campaigning is simply not OK.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
