Asked Mamdani for comment on the anti-ICE mobilization that sabotaged a major ICE raid last wkd.

Mamdani described the action as people exercising their free speech, that he looks forward to protecting that right.

He has not previously commented on the community defense.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

🚨 NEW: A majority of Americans now support Medicare for All even if it ends private insurance and raises taxes. The tipping point is here because the ACA is failing to keep health care affordable. New polling shows a 50-point shift in just six years.

Just simply amazing that Democrats can now clearly see on video that an unjustified killing has taken place...while denying what was clearly being shown on video from Gaza.

The rhetoric today is nearly indistinguishable from Know-Nothing rhetoric about the Irish, the Italians, and the Jews.
Fox News' Will Cain: "I’m sure there are very honorable law-abiding upstanding citizens and contributors from the Somali community here in the United States, BUT..."

He goes on to say "we aren’t going to pretend here that all cultures are of equal value or the same."

Trump ends the marathon cabinet ego-stroking session with a viciously racist rant about Somalians in Minnesota and Rep. Omar

He calls them “garbage”, “we don’t want them in our country”, Somalia “Stinks”, they “contribute nothing”, and “88% of Somalians get welfare” (a lie🤥 )

So at this point she is a pariah, yes?
No person who ever wants a shred of respect, or to be booked on any movie, TV or streaming program,or to be platformed on any media outlet, or to serve in any state, local or federal govt position, should have anything to do with this sadistic weirdo.

Right?

None of the Top 5 streaming songs on Apple Music for 2025 were realeased in 2025. And none of them were by new artists. If you're in the business of trying to make hit records, this should either scare the hell out of you or motivate you to make something unique that has a chance to cut through.
Apple Music unveils their Top 5 most-streamed songs this year for #AppleMusicReplay:

1. APT. — ROSÉ & Bruno Mars
2. luther — Kendrick Lamar & SZA
3. Die With A Smile — Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars
4. Not Like Us — Kendrick Lamar
5. BIRDS OF A FEATHER — Billie Eilish

The Trump admin is systematically firing immigration judges across the country for no reason other their above average grant rates.

The goal is to transform an imperfect system which aimed for fairness into a rubber stamp mill, leaving only the “deportation judges” they want.
BREAKING NYT:

The Trump admin just fired eight immigration judges in New York City.

All the judges were dismissed from the immigration offices at 26 Federal Plaza — a building that houses the NYC headquarters of ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.
