At 20m into this clip, listen to Ian McKellen, the “GOAT of Shakespeare,” recite a speech written by Shakespeare from the play Thomas Moore. It’s superb!!!

I’m having a hard time thinking of an interview between two human beings I enjoyed more than tonight’s interview of the great Ian McKellen by the great Stephen Colbert. Every moment of it was a pleasure that I highly recommend… but then came the most REMARKABLE ending that you really HAVE to watch.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.
DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

THIS. They’re in the South Metro now, hitting Carver County & Minneapolis suburbs HARD.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
They’re detaining observers because ICE & CBP believe the real problem is people filming them, not that ICE & CBP is committing domestic terror.
Less footage = less national news coverage.

I can't take a screenshot on Disney+, but literally the first shot of Pacoima on Marve's "Wonder Man" is the gas-fired power plant where Los Angeles officials infamously covered up a large methane leak for at least a year.

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

According to Harmeet Dhillon and Pam Bondi, disturbing a church service is a felony that deserves immediate arrest for. Think they'll go after these ICE agents?

Precisely this.
It’s too classified to send to *some* members of Congress. But there are absolutely folks who are (or could be) cleared to be read in.
Even if it’s got to be a Gang of Eight only issue, send it to Congress.

I wish folks would quit reporting that it’s too classified to send to Congress. No it’s not. That is Gabbard’s EXCUSE for obstructing it.
