🇲🇽 "Independence was won in 1821. Spain did not recognize us as a country until 15 years later, in 1836.
And after that the French invaded us, in what was called the Pastry War, and then the United States invaded us and took more than half our territory, and then the French invaded us again. And in 1914, U.S. troops landed in Veracruz and tried to invade us once more.
But the people of Mexico always fought for their independence."
“I sort of just want to be honest about who I am and where I am at in my life and you know, I didn’t wanna get to the end of the tour as we have previously and sort of say ‘until next time’, uh, I just wanted to be a little more honest with you about that. I think, since I was 16 and I’ve been working in music everything in my life has sort of taught me that everything in this world is about getting more and achieving more and more shows and bigger things and bigger everything. I think a lot of things have happened to me in the last few years of my life, different things, that have sort of just changed my perspective and I’m sort of working on learning to be content with what is enough and I don’t ever want these moments to ever feel less special because once they’re done they’re sort of onto the next thing. These shows have been the joy of my life, they’re so incredibly special to me. I think in part because I know things like this don’t last forever and I just wanna thank you for all your support you’ve given me over the years. I wanna thank you for allowing me to do this with you and I think part of the reason why these shows are feeling so special to me in a very new way is because I appreciate them in the moment. I wanted to be open with you and share it with you because I think maybe all together we can acknowledge how nice is it to be in these rooms and have these moments. It’s been a privilege and an honour. Thank you so much. I’m not saying anything dramatic, I’m not trying to be dramatic, I’m just saying, don’t worry, it’s just…I love you and I wanted to speak to you like I would speak to my friends about this. I feel like getting to the end and saying ‘until next time’ is not enough. I just wanted to be a little more open with you. I love you so much. This song I wrote for you, this is Carla’s Song.” - Harry’s heartfelt speech addressing Together Together and where his mind is at right now before Carla’s Song at #TogetherTogetherNYC ❤️
This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

EXCLUSIVE: I've obtained a detailed account from the attorney representing Jose Mejia Hernandez, a man who says he was violently apprehended, hospitalized with a brain bleed, and held by ICE with almost no communication to his own family for three days.
On the morning of August 11, at around 6:30 a.m., Mejia Hernandez was walking to work when a truck sped up on him and two men jumped out and ran toward him. Scared and not knowing who they were, he ran. While fleeing, he says he was hit with what he believes was a stun gun or Taser. He has no memory of anything after that, not how he was injured, not how he was transported, nothing, until he woke up in a hospital many hours later with serious facial injuries consistent with blunt force trauma.
According to his attorney, two ICE agents stayed at his bedside the entire time he was hospitalized. He was never given a private moment with his own doctors. When he asked the ICE agents what happened to him, they told him they didn't know. He says hospital staff seemed reluctant to speak openly in front of the agents, and that medical staff appeared to communicate more with ICE than with him directly. A nurse eventually told him quietly, in Spanish, that he'd suffered a brain bleed and brain swelling, but he says he never got a full explanation of his diagnosis or how he got hurt.
Meanwhile, his wife and stepchild had no idea where he was for about three days. Neither DHS nor the hospital, according to his lawyer, ever notified his family that he'd been detained, injured, or hospitalized.
When ICE decided to discharge him, he says he didn't even understand he was being released. He was driven from the hospital, given food and told to contact his family, then taken to an ICE office where they strapped a GPS ankle monitor on him and handed him a Notice to Appear.
By Friday he felt significantly worse and went back to the hospital, where he was again diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and brain bleed and stayed for two more days. His lawyer says doctors couldn't even complete the imaging they needed because of the ankle monitor. When he later went to his ISAP appointment still in pain, dizzy, with doctors saying he needed an MRI, ICE reportedly refused to remove the monitor unless he could produce a specific MRI appointment date and time, forcing him to bounce back and forth between the hospital and immigration offices just to get basic care while suffering from a brain injury.
His attorney is now demanding a full accounting: who was involved, what force was used, why his family wasn't notified, why ICE was reportedly more involved in his medical communications than he was, and preservation of every record, custody log, and communication tied to this case. Mejia Hernandez still needs an MRI and further evaluation for a serious neurological injury.
