Opportunity here for the mayor and governor to lay down a challenge to these cowards

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of โ€ฆ complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, theyโ€™re sniping priests for sport.

Dadโ€™s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending itโ€™s their own fault. So I hope Kemiโ€™s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

I donโ€™t think Fox even cares, their viewers have taken this slop in and believed it, job done, why would they care if these ridiculous hacks wheel in their stooge ?

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

I love the design, reminds me in some ways of Lang Park in Brisbane in the way form follows function and the crowd get a great view from anywhere in the ground

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.โ€ These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

This surely competes with the likes of Michael Portillo, Joanna Lumley and Ewan Mcgregor in the ill advised travel show gig stakes

About to ring my brother in the UK & tell him about tonightโ€™s rugby league Grand Final and how the man of the match mimicked drinking water out of a toilet bowl during his acceptance speech ๐Ÿ˜
