There’s already video of some NYPD helping ICE leave after the shooting and the role of the police in aiding these incidents has to be addressed.

To every politician in New York: Do not tell the protesters to behave peacefully. Do not tell the protesters to disperse and go home. Instead, tell ICE to behave peacefully. Tell ICE to disperse and go home. Side with your constituents, not the Trump administration.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

I stepped away from my computer for a moment. When I returned, it was building something. I did not ask it to do this. We're not ready for what's coming

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

I'm sorry but it's clearly newsworthy that the President's decisions are being unduly influenced by a mentally unstable obsessive no one voted for who has attached themselves to him in an effort to live out weird fantasies they've had for decades. Something has to be done about Stephen Miller.
