Watching Last Holiday (2006), not just because it’s a holiday movie (it is!) but also because I just love it ❤️
Queen Latifah as Georgia Byrd. She’s wearing a gorgeous red dress and is seated in a fancy hotel’s fancy restaurant being waited on by three formally attrited servers (two men in white and a woman in black). She’s ordered all the specials and is about to dig in. Subtitles read: - [GASP] - BON APPETIT.

This is the imperial playbook. The western nation breaks a country, then they go look at those savages with a broken country.

(from the inbox) Bikes were essential to ICE watching and rapid response on the north side today, helping people better locate feds in traffic.

His email didn’t brag about soldiers, border agents or any branch of federal law enforcement. Instead, the official wrote that the Department of Homeland Security “did not have to intervene with any protesters” the weekend of Oct. 4 — after the Illinois State Police showed up outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview. “It’s clear that ISP is the difference maker in this scenario, and we are grateful for their leadership,” Peter Sukmanowski, assistant director of ICE’s Chicago field office, wrote. “Hopefully, we can keep it up for the long-haul.”

I wish insurance still covered group therapy because it seems like feedback loops on social media now often replace that function but without the mediating presence of a therapist.

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc

This is exactly why all this arguing and pointing fingers over who did and didn't vote for who that's been going on since November is stupid.

All of these Black politicians - Kamala, Barack, Jeffries - are taking money from these orgs and do not have our communities best interest at heart.

The Congressional Black Caucus’s silent partnership with AIPAC

www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Yet to this day, the Congressional Black Caucus—the long-standing corps of lawmakers dedicated to safeguarding civil rights (and known as “the conscience of Congress”)—has not issued a formal declaration condemning Israel; it hasn’t even produced a statement calling for a ceasefire. The CBC’s silence isn’t accidental: More than half of its current 61 members have been endorsed or funded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the powerful US lobbying arm for Israel’s agenda. In the 2023–24 election cycle alone, AIPAC endorsed 26 of the caucus’s members, raising $4.6 million for them and another $3.5 million for Black Democratic candidates.
