People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Please stop calling this FAFO. Think about who would have been affected by this. It’s the people who can afford it the least, and I don’t think they were Trump voters, but rather their victims.

What led us to this disaster as 1) weak efforts at accountability for Trump-world malfeasance when there was opportunity and 2) an anti-incumbency wave driven by negative economic sentiment that was largely grounded in false beliefs driven by distorted media coverage.
