Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think virtue signaling is good. We should have much, much more of it, people taking a public stance. Competing to be better. Competing to define "better." We could have a reality show franchise called "The Biggest Giver."

“Word had spread through social media that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents had reportedly checked into both hotels. Within the hour, a small contingent of local residents had arrived at both establishments. They were there to make sure ICE agents didn’t sleep.”

How to record ICE: 1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE. 2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video. 3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS 4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How? 5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked. @eltragon.bsky.social

West Point cadet and sophomore football player Larry Pickett Jr. and his father helped rescue a man from a crashed car just before it burst into flames over the weekend near the U.S. Military Academy, earning praise from the institution for his "heroic" and selfless" actions.

Sad to hear of Graham Greene's passing... Such a wonderful actor and a very nice man I got to meet him on a few occasions as we both lived here in Stratford and even got to sing for him once at his "Walk Of Fame" ceremony. Huge loss RS

This is really easy to do

One of the firefighters detained off the fire in Washington has been here since he was FOUR YEARS OLD, and has a visa application in process. The Guardian: "The firefighter, whose name has not been made public, has lived in the US for 19 years after arriving with his family at the age of four […]

Yesterday, ICE agents detained firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire. As a firefighter and paramedic, I know firsthand that in an emergency, every second counts, and politics should never come before saving lives.

From the firehouse to the halls of Congress, I’m ready to fight for Florida’s future. As a lifelong Floridian, firefighter, and paramedic, I know what it means to serve. It’s time for A New Generation of Leadership in Florida’s 21st Congressional District. Together, we can build a better future.

Them: “Stopping talking about Texas in California” Me: “No

That's my point: it doesn't matter. At the end no wall can stop people. The time of national states is over. The world has become a village. "When the wind of change blows losers build walls and winners build windmills."

Workers at Mauser plant in Chicago have been on strike 11 wks and counting to demand protections against federal immigration authorities, among other demands. They want management to turn away ICE and DHS, unless they present a signed judicial warrant. My report from Teamsters Local 705 picket line.

"By going on strike, in part, for protections for immigrants, workers are showcasing a strategy to use workers’ most powerful weapon to protect union members. And if they win, they’ll be the first Teamsters local in the country to adopt such protective language."

Miraculously, he didn’t hit a single CDC employee! But he did kill David Rose, the police officer who responded, who leaves behind two children and a pregnant wife. I can't help but imagine the vast attention this case would have received if the race of the shooter and the victim were reversed.

I don't know how to explain it to people not raising black or brown children - but you feel that racism in your bones as you watch your child navigate the school system. In your fucking bones. I understood it intellectually before having my kid. I read the studies. But it's so much worse now.
