Text from a Boston Globe article: The long-promised surge in detentions and deportations from Trump began to really show in Massachusetts in May. That month, nearly 1,500 immigrants in the Boston region alone were arrested in what authorities dubbed “Operation Patriot.” Though the administration said it was targeting people accused of serious crimes, nearly half of those swept up had no criminal records. The administration called them collateral arrests.
A photo of part of the lyrics to the song “We’re Not Going to Take It by the band Twisted Sister that are as follows: We've got the right to choose and there ain't no way we'll lose it This is our life, this is our song We'll fight the powers that be just, don't pick our destiny 'cause You don't know us, you don't belong We're not gonna take it No, we ain't gonna take it We're not gonna take it anymore Oh, you're so condescending, your gall is never ending We don't want nothing, not a thing, from you Your life is trite and jaded, boring and confiscated If that's your best, your best won't do

A detail of brown vintage wallpaper with a brush-stroked “Oriental” theme. A person dressed in fuchsia, pale pink and white robes sits on a rock under an expressive gnarled tree. The tree has branches covered in leaves depicted as circles with dots on the center of each leaf. Clusters of them are white or black. Next to the person is a cluster of silver grasses. Below and to the right is a set of 4 stairs leading up to the tree. Above the tree, is a pagoda using the same color pallet as the person.
