Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day — and with masked troops in our streets, law-abiding neighbors being disappeared, a president othering and dehumanizing entire communities in our country, and big mysterious prisons awaiting his scapegoats, history is speaking to all of us.

Hitler blamed Jews for Germany’s problems. Over the years, the Nazis targeted Jews with increasingly evil treatment, leading to the "Final Solution" — mass extermination. We visit the Auschwitz-Birken...

I did confirm that this is at least partially true, though not from someone officially speaking for the Des Moines Police. The DMPD is denying this, but DMPD will not likely get advanced notification of ICE raids. Reported large number of ICE agents left Minneapolis Mon. #ICEout #Iowa

So it’s okay if it’s a really big gun and it’s in your hands and you’re defending property but if it’s a normal size gun not in your hand and you’re defending a human being it’s not okay?

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

The first of 3 Ms is literally MINNESOTA. Only a professional agitator would know where these things are coming from!
You can get a 3M half face gas mask with P100 filters at any hardware store.
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"
