“A certain famous male comedian (who performed in Saudi Arabia, ahem) told me a few weeks ago that my firing was a “badge of honor.”

As President Trump takes aim at @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, he talks about what he thinks of ICE and the National Guard coming into New York City—and the human impact of Big Tech giants taking down ICE-tracking apps.
