Maher Tarabishi, age 62, was taken by ICE last October when he exited his immigration check-in appointment in Texas. He was the primary caregiver for his 30 year old son Wael, who suffers from a chronic muscular condition called Pompe disease. His father provided 24 hour care for many years.

Wael died today, his family told me. Wael’s heath had been declining ever since his father’s detention. He never got to say goodbye to his father. Maher will never see his son again.

Maher came to the United States in 1994. He is not a criminal. He paid taxes. He raised a family. He was attending his immigration check ins reliably. Now that family is destroyed. For what?

If our government has any compassion, Maher Tarabishi should be released from detention now. He should be allowed to attend his son’s funeral. May Wael rest in peace.

Is this what America has become? Is this what we want America to be? Spread the word: #FreeMaherTarabishi

@bennyjohnson #Hero #Tookonefortheteam Don’t take the job if you aren’t proud of what you do. I bet the Marriott worker had to wear a name tag so…

@donell_harvin is a lot of fun at parties, talking about the people playing instruments outside a hotel is a “volatile situation” *clutch pearls*. It wasn’t even 10 PM fuddy duddy. A woman was murdered in cold blood & no one will be held accountable. Let ppl express themselves.

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

@elonmusk 😂 Complete bs. I just drove across SA for 2 weeks. You are derranged. Where is your passbook?!

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

@andersoncooper with making me Google,, “what is a shillelagh” but I didn’t start off spilling it like that… while interviewing @StephenAtHome & she’s so good then they bring out the puppets and I’m done. @Andy #CNN #Dontrustbillionaires #NYE #CNNYE 😂 ELECTRIC BLUE COAT

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

Can’t wait for @andersoncooper and @Andy to get sh faced and bring in NYE on @CNN. Looking forward to shenanigans and Anderson’s stories to sober us up for a min 🤭. It isn’t #NYE w/o them! 🏳️‍🌈

@MonicaSaadeX That’s NOT Jamaica!

3 things can be true:
1. No 1 has the right 2 take a life. 2: Charlie Kirk was a racist, homophobic, xenophobic, horrible person also w/ right to freedom of speech who also called out Trump #epstein 3: MAGA & the right capitalizing on his death to incite violence = #FalseFlag

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

You all HAVE to acknowledge the hate, the lies, the racist, xenophobic, homophobic, homophobic rhetoric, and harm harm he caused in addition to his precious life as all life is precious.

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

@CNN @kaitlancollins if you don’t stop memorializing Charlie Kirk you’re going to lose an audience. Not condoning what happened, but he was a horrible person who caused so much harm. He was NOT an innocent child gunned down while taking a quiz or praying. 1/

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

His words became weapons and peoe take his words to heart and perpetuate his hate. He had every right to believe and say what he believed, but with much power comes much responsibility, and he was reckless. 5/

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

3/ He believes in and taught, “The Great Replacement Theory”. He opposed gay marriage, and actively targeted transgender people.

I am sickened by the way your coverage has practically made him a martyr. It’s not just about his opinions and his right to express them, 4/

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

He excused mass shootings by saying that in order to keep the 2nd amendment X # of gun deaths were reasonable. He said if he got onto a plane and he saw a Black pilot he would get off. He was one of the first people who amplified that Haitian immigrants were eating dogs. 2/

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

@JusticeHorn_ Hard fought battle even though JaCo 7/9 Dem smh. Need to replace ALL Dems who don’t support #Equality or stand up for LGBTQIAP+ folks under attack. I live through it every day at JaCo. Lives are at stake.
Also, buhbye Bailey. Be gone. ✌🏻

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

@CNN please start a timer at the bottom of your screen for this ridiculous, nonsensical, rhetoric filled, rambling post- #Inauguration2025 speech by #Trump. I’m only still watching to see how long he goes. Too early for shots.

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

@JusticeHorn_ I don’t even have a tree up yet, y’all. Must be nice smh. This is NOT what public service looks like.

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

@JusticeHorn_ This is all Manny cares about. He just got back a week ago from Sonoma, visiting Coppola’s wine estate on the tax payer dime. Me? I worked all weekend. Can’t tell you when last I had a day off while working on #ARPA the budget, HRC and Outside Agency.

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

I worked all weekend on ARPA, OA and the budget. I don’t even have a tree up yet. Nice to see Manny has time for DC Christmas parties A WEEK AFTER he got back from Sonoma wine country. ON THE TAX PAYER’S DIME. Smh.

[Justice Horn @JusticeHorn_]

As the impending deadline approaches to disperse $70 Million in ARPA dollars fast approaches (December 31st), I’m bamboozled to see Kansas City’s County Legislator holidaying in Washington DC during a critical time for the community.

Why does Kansas City’s Mayor AND Kansas City’s County Legislator love being in Washington DC all the time? Kansas City (and Jackson County) deserves full-time public servants who care about showing up, rolling up their sleeves, and getting to work—Not being in DC worrying about their future and their proximity to power.

[WJ @gyalliwasp]

@KCTV5 So if players start kneeling again or calling out police brutality, supporting orgs who work against police violence, Mr. Hunt will be fine with that? Cool, @kc_leap could use some support.
