Subject: Media inquiry — Hot dogs Hi Marjorie, Last night Congressman Gill posted on X "Civilized people in America don't eat like this. If you refuse to adopt Western customs, go back to the Third World," in reference to New York Democratic Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani eating with his hands. I have a couple of questions about this post: Is the Congressman saying that Americans cannot use their hands to consume food or else they'll be perceived as outsiders? Does Rep. Gill eat a hot dog using a fork and knife? How about a hamburger? Ribs? Corn? Pizza? Is Mamdani's use of his hands considered not "civilized" specifically because of the type of food he's eating and the food/his family's country of origin?  If you could explicitly spell out what Rep. Gill is saying here, that would be helpful. Thank you,

I just sent this to Rep. Brandon Gill's communications director:

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.

This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

We need at least 11.5 million people to sign a strike card. It needs to be promoted in tandem with these protests. If we could get tens of millions, even better, but we have to refuse to work or spend money. The financial sector has to truly hurt to make this stop. generalstrikeus.com

I think we will need more than 3.5% at the protests. Ideally the 3.5% would be the percentage of folks that will take action beyond protesting such as striking and boycotts. Even if we are at 3.5% at protests, that group will definitely not all commit to a strike.

Protesters in all 50 states marched against President Trump's policies on Saturday as Trump held a military parade in Washington. Read more: https://trib.al/JnBJSdw

If you have been on the fence about protesting this Saturday, we hope that how the brostapo and Kristi Noem blatantly attacked Senator Padilla will get you out there.

This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.

ICE descended upon immigrant communities in LA, targeting innocent people just trying to live their lives, and when ICE was met with fierce opposition Trump deployed the National Guard. This is not “going after criminals,” it’s a scary escalation meant to sow even more fear and division.

BREAKING: California National Guard members are seen staging at a federal building in downtown Los Angeles early this morning.

The members are from the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. The brigade says it’s the largest combat unit in the California Army National Guard.

Trump Is Deploying National Guard Troops Under a Rarely Used Power President Trump bypassed the authority of Gov. Gavin Newsom by sending 2,000 National Guard troops to quell immigration protesters.

President Trump took extraordinary action on Saturday by deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to quell immigration protesters in California, making rare use of federal powers and bypassing the authority of the state’s governor, Gavin Newsom.

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

State Department set to launch ‘Office of Remigration’ The concept of remigration has explicitly neo-Nazi roots and has been popularized in Europe.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda."

Strike! Strike! Strike! ✊

64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving.

Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups.

Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.

i did physical activity and still feel depressed this is bullshit

This is what a rigged economy looks like:

In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.

In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.

This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.

That has got to change.

Get em!
