From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

So let me get this straight. The man who tore down the East Wing of the White House in order to build an oversized ballroom that no one asked for has launched an investigation into Jerome Powell over renovations to the Federal Reserve headquarters.

Did I get that right?

The similarities between being a Cal fan and a democrat are startling.

Honking horns is now obstruction of justice. From the party of individual liberty. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Rep. Pete Sessions: "This protesting that goes on -- honking of horns, obstructing federal law enforcement -- should not be tolerated ... I stand completely with the administration on this effort."

Church full of white people in the Midwest literally singing “we will abolish ICE” and guys like Chuck Schumer can’t bring themselves to say they will maybe possibly not give them another million dollars

Frog we don’t have time for this
Toad sipped his tea. “Frog,” he asked, “are you making this up?”

“Maybe yes and maybe no,” said Frog.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:

They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.

The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
Boycott Hilton Hotels

When I think about my 6th grade class singing at graduation, I think about Whitney Houston singing, “the Greatest Love of All.” That’s what it sounded like.
