Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice. He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama. It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

If you're boycotting Blue Jays games this year to protest management, that's understandable. If you're boycotting because you think it sends a message to America, then just go to games. That won't do anything.

It's not the media's job to tell you you're correct. Boycotting a news source because you didn't like how one story was framed or a headline wasn't written EXACTLY how you would've written it will not enrich you.
