Stephen King said, “Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.”

Reflecting on this, it’s unsettling to see the GOP flaunt individuals with troubling histories for Trump’s cabinet. It seems the monsters aren’t just winning—they’re being handed the keys.

One man.
One knock at the door.
One terrified mom and daughter.

He let them hide in his apartment for three days.

“Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes…”

Anne Frank wrote those words in hiding. This little girl lived through them in Chicago.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

"It is truly sickening to speak to somebody who raised three boys to go into the Marines because of how much he loved and believed in this country, only to be treated like that."

JB Pritzker: “Another thing that’s happened with very few people paying attention is they demanded our voter data. Not just ours in Illinois — every state’s voter data. Why? They won’t tell us why.”

Look at how Lady Trump has to stand to cover his rotting hand.

What a loser.

Dr. Oz speaks at a White House podium labeled “President of the United States,” flanked by a stone-faced RFK Jr. and a weirdly motionless Donald Trump, who’s standing stiffly with one hand awkwardly tucked out of view like it might be rotting off. Behind them, a chaotic mix of Space Force flags and gaudy gold wall decor makes the room look like Versailles got lost in a Hobby Lobby. Trump watches Oz like a man hoping nobody notices he just made up a number.

Billboard and Telemundo announced that global superstar Bad Bunny will be recognized as the Top Latin Artist of the 21st Century at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards.

Looking forward to his show at the Super Bowl!

#DiversityMakesAmericaGreat

About Bad Bunny: "His music transcends language. It's amazing what he's done. He did something that a lot of people have never done in their life, and I'm so excited for him. I was excited when he performed with us at the Super Bowl and I'm excited to see what he does. He puts on a great show, he's an amazing entertainer." * Jennifer Lopez

I made a horrible decision last night and told chat that I’d do a 24-hr livestream if we raise $100k with these streams by the 19th.

So if that’s an incentive to tune in… there you go.
