The Fire TV suddenly decided it would only display our shows in black and white. Tried switching HDMI ports and swapping out Fire Sticks. We decided to set up all our apps directly on the TV and, just like that, one more Amazon device is out of our lives. Take that, Bezos. #techfail #byeamazon

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.
