Staten Island rallying for Sara detained by ICE. She impressed the faculty with a closing speech:
"I am here because I chose to be. Because I worked hard for this moment. Because I proved to myself that being an immigrant doesn’t mean being a burden"

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

IT'S A PAY TO PLAY GOVERNMENT If you pay dearly, you may have your status as a US resident fast-tracked.  Trump signed an Executive Order in September 2025 which created a GOLD CARD and PLATINUM CARD visa program. Any foreign national who makes a $1 million gift to the Commerce Department you will be fast-tracked for residency here.

PLEASE ALLOW ME TO introduce myself
Trump has introduced himself to us many times and the lyrics of Sympathy for the Devil present his actions to us. For all the evil in the world, this man has brought us new evil and new shame. I am a devout left catholic who takes my freedom seriously and I can attach myself to many freedom songs from the 60's era, but the Rolling Stones lyrics stand apart from other songwriters of that time period.

Nicole Malliotakis refuses to answer questions I have been making videos for a few months to ask Rep. Malliotakis questions because there are so few issues that I know where she stands. Let me say before I went public with the videos I tried making an appointment to meet with her, wrote to her, called her office, protested in front of her office and now, made many videos. I mostly call the Representative out on the lies she tells us about legislation on conservative news channels and sometimes on CNN where they call her out as well.

Disappointment in Faith: Addressing Cardinal Dolan
Letter to Cardinal Dolan September 21, 2025 Your Holiness Cardinal Dolan As a practicing Catholic who is 77 years old, I find it so difficult to understand how you can compare Charlie Kirk to a modern day St. Paul. I find it offensive to my faith that you, as the Cardinal of New York and a representative of Christ, would use those words. I do not judge Charlie Kirk as a sinner or saint, but what I know is that some of his rhetoric was hateful to people of color and so many other communities.

Firstly, RFK Jr. must be impeached before he kills us
Secondly, proposed change in SS benefits will cause more than 750,000 disabled to be negatively affected.
Third, hoping we will see black women represented in the new Women's Museum.

Tomorrow, the President is going to order the national guard to militarize the nation's capital (despite crime being at a 30 year low) after sending Congress home to prevent them from investigating evidence he committed sex crimes against children.

The Congressional GOP is unified behind him.
