I love talking about my spouse. Also I like baseball, space, and talking about autism. Sometimes my cats might make an appearance. COVID is still there

so the arrest of Don Lemon is a 5 alarm fire attack on the free press part of the First Amendment which also can extend to anyone who happens to film and post an event that upsets Trump
it'll be interesting to see who fights to protect having a free press and who does not

Cities are on the frontlines of an important battle. I wish I could say Minneapolis will be the last city facing this—but we won’t be. Local leaders have to speak up and step up. Our democracy depends on it.
Thanks to the U.S. Conference of Mayors for having me.

Even though I live in Canada I support this 100% and will not be shopping or spending money tomorrow. But I think it's time to expand it to a week- long strike.

Open letter to our Senators:
Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow.
We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

Ilhan Omar: “In the 4 years when Biden was president, my death threats went to almost zero — now they are back up — so there is a clear correlation between his presidency & the political violence that we see & the political danger that a lot of members of Congress & electeds feel across the country”

ICE cannot continue to unlawfully enter homes without warrants AND use lethal force without consequence.
The Senate must take into account how unlawful ICE officers are acting and DO SOMETHING. No hopes and prayers from people with power to stop this.

Placing a layer of algorithmic recommendation on speech does not make speech less free, but it does pervert it.
Algorithmic mediation turns speech into a resource extracted from human behavior.
Platforms do not value speech because it is protected, they value the service it provides them.

After the Boston Massacre, the soldiers responsible were arrested and received fair trials. King George recalled the regiment to England, and then American leaders were like “good, that was enough, we’ll remain your loyal subjects forever…” wait, that’s not right…

If you're in New York, please take two minutes right now to call Governor Hochul and tell her to support and sign New York 4 All, which would prevent state and local agencies from collaborating with ICE.

There is A LOT of misinformation going around about the continued funding of ICE.
It ISN'T a done deal.
Yes, it passed in the House, but the Senate hasn't taken it up yet.
That's the way this shit works.
CONTACT YOUR SENATOR NOW AND TELL THEM TO VOTE THIS FUNDING DOWN.

If what ICE is doing has anything to do with the law, why are they routinely breaking laws, violating the Constitution, violating civil rights, and hurting and killing innocent people?
