Rest in peace, Sonny Rollins…

Nicknamed the “Saxophone Colossus,” he reshaped modern jazz with fearless improvisation, a towering tenor tone, and timeless classics like Saxophone Colossus and The Bridge.

One of the last great bebop giants, his sound and spirit changed jazz forever.

ICE violently detain yet another U.S. citizen—refuse to even look at his ID.

3 agents tackle man and injure his face—drag him away to unmarked car.

"He's not even an immigrant!" witness yell. "He's from here!"

"Why y'all kidnapping him for?"

Agents refused to give their badge numbers, show ID, or give any explanation.

"Take your mask off... why are you so scared?"

Incident occurred in Brooklyn, New York.

Keir Starmer has failed the Jews.

As a Muslim Iranian, I can safely wear a scarf in London but my Jewish friends can't safely wear a Kippah

Today, a terrorist stabbed two Jewish men the moment they put on their Kippahs

That's not how you protect religious freedom @Keir_Starmer
