“That’s Life” by Frank Sinatra was one of my favorite songs as a kid. I knew the lyrics by heart. I was a dark kid. I knew what was up.

I hope everyone gets a chance to watch this. It’s only 15 minutes long.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
