Oscar watch commencing
My house rules are that for a full watch I have to see all the movies in all categories before the beginning of the Oscar ceremonies, so if the only nomination is for best song I have to watch the whole thing
This year that means 50 movies and I’ve only seen 1

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

For those outside of Philly who are about to learn Larry's name because of that presser, they have tried to get rid of this guy every way possible. Tried to recall him. Tried to run moderate Dems. He cannot be stopped. He relishes the fight.

Everyone should be putting up NO ICE NO CPB NO FEDERAL AGENTS GET A JUDICIAL WARRANT OR STAY OUT signs everywhere.
My wife told me she heard at a training she attended that ICE has argued "ALL ARE WELCOME HERE" signs are invitations to enter private spaces and if that don't beat all I don't know what does.

If you can't petition the government to let them know why they are holding you and give you an audience with someone about your detention, do you have -other- civil liberties? If they don't need to ever tell you -why- they are detaining you, are you ever free at all
not an accident that habeas corpus is one of the absolute foundational rights--and not an accident that ICE is working overtime to undermine it as much as possible
Excellent explanation of how ICE moves immigrants from one prison facility to another to deny them access to justice.

Walked into today’s drum lesson with a ton of questions about notations and things I’ve been hearing as I listen to songs now that I understand some of the common basic beats and when I tell you the dude LIT UP - 35 minutes later he’s like this is a special interest of mine. It was great!

This friend and I met up for dinner tonight so I could get the tiara to her and then I told her it was hers to keep and you would’ve thought I’d given her bars of solid gold. Should I just start randomly giving tiaras to people? Spread joy as a tiara fairy?

SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

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.
