With the winter Olympics starting today in Italy, US athletes are being asked (by foreign journalists) how they feel about what ICE is doing.
Short answer, they are not happy and are ashamed as we are.

Good news, shame citizens have to do this in a democracy.
Nearly 100,000 people rallied in central Prague in support of Czech President Petr Pavel, according to iDNES. The demonstration took place amid a conflict between the president and one of the coalition parties over political and personnel decisions.

Abel Selaocoe was on fire last night in a concert with the Irish Chamber Orchestra in ULCH. What a night, one of those very rare and very special nights when the energy between stage and audience is palpable. He's playing in Dublin NCH on Feb 5 - I'd recommend 👌
