In about 1990 I was in a line at SF airport. I randomly glanced at another line and my eyes met Sidney Poitier’s. This is my interpretation of what happened in a single silent second.
Me: Hey, you’re Sidney Poitier!
Sidney Poitier: Yes. Let’s not make a thing about it.
Me: OK.
Me: Hey, you’re Sidney Poitier!
Sidney Poitier: Yes. Let’s not make a thing about it.

Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Fox hosts, parroting DHS, claimed Sen. Padilla "ran at,” "lunged at," and tried to “bum-rush” Kristi Noem. Video disproves their claims, showing Padilla standing calmly across the room asking his question as security grabs him.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”.
This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾
MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.”
ICE: “The whole country is our property.”
No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country."
Don't let that slide by.
