A) ICE had to call the local PD to bail them out. That's significant, as it shows the government doesn't have the manpower to maintain their terror campaign without local support.

B) The City Manager's statement doesn't seem to condemn the crowd at all. The statement (or at least what's quoted) only criticizes ICE. Given that about 25 citizens were ready to throw hands at federal agents, that feels huge.

C) Worcester has a statue of a guy fucking a turtle in the center of town. Not relevant to the story, but I have to bring it up whenever Worcester is in the news. I hope you enjoy it (though the turtle clearly didn't).

A1) Let it be known and not forgotten that Worcester Police are collaborators.

B1) The dichotomy of the political leadership condemning ICE and the police backing them up is noted.

B2) I expect there to be a concerted but quiet effort from federal law enforcement to identify and target the crowd members regardless of how the locals feel.

Turtle rape as a tasteful statue was not on my expected things to encounter today, but somehow I am glad I did.

Worcester is a weirdly fascinating city

Too bad I will not see it. It seems like it was a zany place.

The police protecting the ICE thugs and targeting the good samaritans should result in every single one of them facing the same Nuremberg style trials as the I E gestapo.

The Wikipedia article is bonkers.

Harvey began to hear voices coming from the unfinished statue commanding him to take his own life.

Bonkers.

That might be the turtle's pleasure face. We dont know. Could be the best day of that turtles life. Any turtle bestiality experts here that can help us out?

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.
