What a week it was!
It is Friday, March 14th, 2025 or 3.14 as in Pi day - a day to celebrate math and science in America - or whatever is left of it. This week:
protestors around the world have helped to tank Tesla stock prices,
Columbia University protest organizer Mahmound Khalil has been unjustly kidnapped by the Feds,
some Democrats are siding with the unprecedented GOP budget bill to slash billions in federal funding for programs benefitting farmers, and the most poor and needy Americans,
Dump is expected to invoke the Alien Enemies Act that allows the president to detain or deport "natives" and citizens of an “enemy nation” so he can carry out mass deportations – the same act that was last used in WWII to force Japanese Americans in camps…
…and yet we still do not have national healthcare in America.
Today we have ARIJ MIKATI (the world's foremost expert on Muslim representation in media/narrative change and basically runs Muslim Hollywood. She is also an activist, host, writer, poet, and cutie.) and FRANCISCO CABRERA-FEO (a Gen-Z bisexual, bilingual, and bittersweet TV & Film writer/producer for Apple TV, Netflix, and Max where we met writing for Gordita Chronicles. He writes for the closeted chubby kids who wore t-shirts in the pool and were forced into Catholic school even if the body of Christ compelled them.) in the studio
