ICE, do I have your attention yet?

This β€œBoard of Peace” thing is shady as hell.

Trump wants countries to cough up $1 billion for a permanent seat at the table. He also wants to personally oversee billions tied to Gaza reconstruction. That alone should end the conversation.

I always thought MLK’s β€˜Mountaintop’ speech was his best, which was given the day before he was killed. It is especially relevant given what is happening now in MN and elsewhere. He was getting many serious threats, which he references in his line β€œI may not get there with you.”

The irony of ICE detaining and disappearing the original Americans should stop everyone cold.

As a Lakota proverb says, when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. This system isn’t broken. It’s dead.

β€œThat’s slavery.”

Civil Rights lawyer @oliverma2026.bsky.social (running for CA Lt. Gov.) reminds us ICE detainees work in for-profit prisons for $1/day just to pay for phone calls to their families.

Cruelty is big business.

P.S. @CoreCivic’s new CEO’s last name is β€œSwindle” β€” beyond parody

Mayor Frey: "What makes absolutely no sense to me is to look at a video, see clearly with your own eyes what is happening and try to create a different narrative entirely. They are trying to say that the ICE agent was acting in self-defense and that the victim was a domestic terrorist."

I’d like to cancel my free trial of 2026.

I’ve seen enough to know this isn’t working out. Please do not auto-renew.

Do you remember Betty Reid Soskin? She was the oldest serving National Park Ranger in the United States, we celebrated her retirement at the age of 100.

Betty Reid Soskin (1921–2025) passed away on Sunday, but she lived an extraordinary life.

β€œThe answers are only temporary.”

News Team,
Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier.
I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity.
Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct.
In my
view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.
We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story.
If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we

CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.

We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it.
When it fails to air without a credible
explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet.
I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight.

If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara.

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.

But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

This epic takedown of Trump’s entire cabinet by Jen Psaki would be funny if millions of lives weren’t hanging in the balance because of his no good, incompetent, unqualified, reckless, corrupt, unserious, and flat out dangerous picks.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Last night the whole town council (in Stefanik's district) flipped blue.
