#StarWars is #Political, we'll show you how each week! Whenever I'm not podcasting, I'm taking photos and sharing silly little memes =] Discord: https://discord.gg/RZh3yEURGu Podcast: www.pod.link/SithtyMinutes Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sithty_minutes

An NPR article by Miles Parks with a headline and opening that reads as follows “Republicans' sweeping election overhaul fails in the Senate
The SAVE America Act, a far-reaching Republican election overhaul that President Trump said should be his congressional allies' top priority, has failed in the Senate.” A picture of Senate Majority Leader John Thune speaking to the press is below

A screenshot of the Client from S1 of The Mandalorian where he asks “I would like to see the baby” but with baby blacked out and bigot put in its place

A vector image of the Transistor sword from the game Transistor. The top half is solid color with the bottom half looking more like a schematic of the blade with the circuitry exposed. The red eye in the center of the sword is the point where the art style shifts.

A screenshot of two articles. The one on the right is from CNBC from 17 hours ago and says “Dow jumps 200 points to start April as traders bet Middle East conflict will soon end” the one on the left is from CBS from 42 minutes ago and says “Stocks recoil and oil surges after Trump vows to continue hitting Iran”

This observation is legal, as long as it doesn't interfere with a valid action. Yet since ICE killed Renee Good, they are increasingly stopping this observation, breaking car windows and pulling observers out, in one case unconscious, merely for watching what they are doing.
The country should be alarmed - they won't stop with us - but know that while this is traumatizing to any good person you know here, we're also pissed and resolute. Please do what you can to let your friends know what's happening, to support us and local orgs as you can, and to learn how to defend your own community. Thanks for reading this. Please feel free to share.

A friend said those of us who live in Minneapolis should write about what's going on here for folks who live elsewhere. You need to know that whether you're a Republican, Independent or Democrat, the Constitution is being violated by our federal government. This is not about catching criminals, or even deporting people. It is about punishing an entire state, including citizens, for not supporting the president.
Everyone in my part of Minneapolis is affected. On our streets, ICE is stopping people of color and demanding their papers. In America. US citizens do not have to prove citizenship to ICE. Yet people are being intimidated, some cases beaten up and detained, for requiring ICE to follow the law. ICE needs a judicial warrant to enter homes. Yet there are documented cases of them ignoring the law - violating a bedrock constitutional principle.
Americans of color are staying home, afraid to go to work, school, to grocery shop, or fill their cars with gas. This isn't just "illegals" or immigrants with valid work permits, it is citizens who have had their cars rammed by ICE for merely looking Hispanic. Businesses are closing. Schools are 50 percent full. When they are open, fascists are calling in bomb threats because the president decided to make us a meme.
After a daycare teacher with a valid work permit (through 2030) was snatched from her workplace, parents (and grandparents) have had to organize to watch their SCHOOLS, to make sure conditional rights are observed. This is being repeated throughout Minnesota. Imagine trying to do your job or live you life while also taking volunteer shifts to make sure the federal government doesn't act extrajudicially.
Because of ICE's documented abuses, neighbors have organized to monitor federal actions.

Wanted to introduce you to Adam Swart, founder of Crowds on Demand-the original paid protesting firm. Adam has unique insider knowledge of how modern protests are built, funded, and staged for media impact-and he's breaking his silence now as requests for protest campaigns have surged 400% this year.
Adam has just been featured on NewsNation, Fox & Friends, and Fox Business. His viral clips (2M+ views) show that audiences are hungry for his rare perspective.
Talking Points:
• 400% Increase in Protest Requests - What's behind the unprecedented spike, especially in Washington D.C.
• Why He's Speaking Out Now - After years running campaigns on both sides of the aisle, Adam is pulling back the curtain on how protests are manipulated.
• The Optics Playbook - Protests today are less about policy and more about choreographed media moments.
• Paid to Protest - From Capitol Hill staffers to university fellows, many "volunteers" are actually compensated.

Case 1:25-cv-00399-JAV Document 96
Filed 10/09/25
Page 1 of 38
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
AUBREY DRAKE GRAHAM,
x
.....
Plaintiff,
25-CV-0399 (JAV)
OPINION AND ORDER
-V-
UMG RECORDINGS, INC.,
Defendant.
JEANNETTE A. VARGAS, United States District Judge:
This case arises from perhaps the most infamous rap battle in the genre's
history, the vitriolic war of words that erupted between superstar recording artists
Aubrey Drake Graham ("Drake") and Kendrick Lamar Duckworth ("Lamar" or
"Kendrick Lamar") in the spring of 2024. Over the course of 16 days, the two artists released eight so-called "diss tracks," with increasingly heated rhetoric, loaded accusations, and violent imagery. The penultimate song of this feud, "Not Like Us"
by Kendrick Lamar, dealt the metaphorical killing blow. The song contains lyrics
explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive
bassline. "Not Like Us" went on to become a cultural sensation, achieving immense
commercial success and critical acclaim.
Both Drake and Kendrick Lamar have recording contracts with Defendant
UMG Recordings, Inc. ("UMG" or "Defendant"). Drake alleges that UMG intentionally published and promoted "Not Like Us" while knowing that the song's
insinuations that he has sexual relations with minors were false and defamatory.

A map from the economist showing Trump’s approval rating by state. 28 states have a negative approval of the president. 6 states are perfectly neutral at 0%. 16 states are varying degrees of approval with no states at the 40% approval as denoted in the legend for how each state is colored.
