🧐 Are there any holidays Americans could celebrate without a sense of guilt?

🦠❗️ The new Omicron coronavirus strain will spread "all over" the world, Dr Fauci says.
"We have not detected it yet, but when you have a virus that is showing this degree of transmissibility and you are already having travel-related cases that they have noted in Israel and Belgium, and other places; when you have a virus like this, it almost invariably is ultimately going to go essentially all over", Fauci told NBC.

🤬 Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, posted an Islamophobic tweet attacking Representative Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, saying people should "never apologize" to her and the group of progressive lawmakers Greene has dubbed the "Jihad Squad."
The attack from Greene comes after fellow GOP Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado shared a fake story with constituents about getting into an elevator with Omar at the Capitol—comparing the Muslim congresswoman to a suicide bomber. After strong backlash, Boebert issued an apology to the Muslim community.
But Greene appears to be opposed to her Republican colleague's response.
"Democrats want us censored, shut down, and imprisoned. Never apologize to Islamic terrorist sympathizers, communists, or those who fund murder with our tax dollars," the congresswoman wrote on Twitter.

😏 Actor and comedian Seth Rogen has been given a taste of his own medicine – the 39-year-old has been roasted online for downplaying crime in Los Angeles as life in "a big city". Rogen made the statement in response to a Twitter post of his colleague actor and director Casey Neistat.
The latter revealed that someone had broken into his car and stolen his belongings “because Los Angeles is a crime riddled 3rd world s**thole of a city but tremendous appreciation and gratitude to the hardworking officers at the @LAPDWestLA who not only arrested the motherf**ker but they got all of our stolen goods back".
"Dude I’ve lived here for over 20 years. You’re nuts haha. It’s lovely here. Don’t leave anything valuable in it. It’s called living in a big city", Rogen wrote in response.
