Omar: I instinctively tried to, like, punch him…, I was raised with three brothers who were older than me. You learn that maybe taking the first punch when somebody is bigger than you yields you better results.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The below post is from CBS Chicago reporter Asal Rezaei yesterday. It comes one day after Chicago journalist Steve Held was detained while covering a protest outside the Broadview immigration facility.
Absolutely inexcusable attack perpetrated by an ICE thug. He should be fired immediately! 😡

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

While the senile old man rides in carriages around castles, builds his ballroom, puts gold on everything, plans parades, attends a variety of sporting events, threatens people, and reads the scripts put in front of him, this psychopath is the one actually running the country.

It baffles me that some Democrats are even considering a government shutdown as a strategy. If they do, it just hands more power to Donald Trump—he’ll spin the chaos for his own benefit. Don’t give Trump more ammunition by shutting the government down. This is not the winning move.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

ABC Just Cancelled Jimmy Kimmel — That’s Not “Standards & Practices,” It’s Political Intimidation
When network suits cave to threats from Washington and pressure from station groups, satire becomes state-approved speech. That’s not how a free democracy works.
