Arson, terrorism, and attempted murder are among the charges likely to be brought against Cody Balmer, who set PA Gov. Shapiro's residence on fire as the family slept. www.pennlive.com/crime/2025/0...

Gov. Shapiro and his family celebrated Pesach (Passover) last night and then went to bed. Around 2AM, an arsonist went through or over the wall and set the governor's residence on fire. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

This turns US land, including the Roosevelt Reservation in California, Texas, and Arizona, into a potential conflict zone.

Boston area folks: just learned about this ICE Hotline to report ICE activity in the area: 🚨617-370-5023 - 5am-9pm every day - English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Haitian Creole, more soon - operated by Luce Mass. more info: www.lucemass.org

I fear for this and everyone deported without due process. In this case, I think this man has come to obvious harm. Trump either a) does not want him to speak of what has happened to him, or b) this US Citizen is dead, and Trump is covering for that.

When Pandora opened her jar (mistranslation has cemented it as a "box" in the modern mind), she released many evils. Depending on the retelling, only one thing remained: hope, or deceptive hope. I struggle daily to find hope. I feel deceived grasping for a fragile item. Stubbornly, hope remains.

@altnoaa.bsky.social, sorry to hear www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I, a fed contractor, can't donate to US politicians. Even $5 could be seen as an unethical attempt to sway someone toward keeping/renewing my contract. But every oligarch, superpac, & foreign interest can & do donate millions directly to Trump though his many corrupt & unethical companies & crypto.

I have a typical "what the fuck" for Repubs, but extra "what the fuck?!"s for these 4 Dems: Jared Golden (Maine) - Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Washington) - Henry Cuellar (Texas) - Ed Case (Hawaii). Disgraceful disenfranchisement based on voter ID and not having a name that matches your birth cert

Heads up, Feds!!!! If you know or are a probationary employee that was fired and you are an AFGE union member, please check this out!!!! And share widely!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Do you know for what crimes the US is legally permitted to deport and imprison people without due process? Further, what crimes come with an automatic life sentence to a gulag in a different country without due process? None of them. www.axios.com/2025/04/09/k...
