Too much “what are the protesters doing” and not enough “why isn’t ICE leaving?”

This is a good model on what to ask your own city councils for - no contracts with ICE, no assistance or compliance with immigration enforcement because it is literally not your job. 🤷🏻
Bravo, Glendale. Bravo.
More, please.
And it's time for Democrats to loudly say, "Abolish ICE." Someone please stand up and have a spine.

CDC leadership just told staff on Monday that they could stop sending their "5 things I did last week" emails. Finally.
Per source, people were mostly just sending the same things every week. Many folks added read receipts and were able to see that no one at DOGE was actually reading the emails.

No, President Trump: Less traffic at our ports means less work for the men and women who run them, like the thousands of Marylanders who power the Port of Baltimore.
That's not a good thing. These tariffs will tear apart our economy and hurt our communities — and it's entirely Trump-inflicted.

REPORTER: But we're seeing as a result that ports here in the US, the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dockworkers are truck drivers are worried about their jobs
TRUMP: That means we lose less money ... when you say it slowed down, that's a good thing, not a bad thing

The Trump Administration admitted in court that it NEVER should've abducted Kilmar, yet it continues to defy a court order to facilitate his return.
Trump claims there's nothing he can do. But as I wrote to him today, the VP of El Salvador told me explicitly — the ball is in Trump's court:

We've learned the Trump Administration has ILLEGALLY withheld over $430B in funds approved by Congress — gutting vital services including child care, disaster relief and more.
The courts must continue to hold this lawless president accountable, even if spineless congressional Republicans won't.

I think a lot about how affordable rent at the start of my career allowed me to build the career I now have
I could travel to film fests, I could save money to fund a short film

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month.
It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.
