Republicans in Congress are cowed by the MAGA administration, which laughs at them in private. They sold their souls and threw in their last vestiges of pride as a bonus.

Plain old protesters should leave their phones at home. They can live without them a few hours.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

Live performance of "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. The song was written in 1966 in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles. It became an anthem for generational conflict, civil unrest, and later anti-war movements.

"The lyrics are still so relevant."

Excluding ...MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948), what's the best Abbott and Costello horror comedy?

You can include HOLD THAT GHOST (1941), even tho it's not part of their 1948-1955 horror cycle (and there's no ghost).

#FilmSky

Bud and Lou in HOLD THAT GHOST (1941) which, as stated, has no actual ghost.

Demands of any kind, anywhere, by anyone are normally ignored and a waste of breath and/or pixels.

Rep. Janelle Bynum @bynum.house.gov · 1d

I'm demanding a thorough investigation into what happened to Frank Miranda, my constituent who was abducted by masked ICE agents without reason.

This behavior is unacceptable and un-American. It has no place in our state or our country.

Bynum Demands End to ICE Raids After U.S. Citizen Allegedly Abducted by Masked Agents

Bynum compares ICE’s conduct to U.S. Marshals hunting down Black Americans under the Fugitive Slave Act.
