It’s a small, but mighty sign: “Everyone is welcome here, except I.CE.” Katherine Duncan, owner of Katherine Anne Confections, fastened it proudly on her shop’s front door.

“It was a no-brainer for me,” Duncan said on a recent afternoon.

Cafes, restaurants across Chicago put up signs barring immigration agents

For restaurant and cafe workers, many of whom are immigrants, the looming threat of unannounced visits by ICE has created anxiety and uncertainty about their future.

Thank you, @heatherknightsf.bsky.social, for showing us Benioff’s true colors.
I worked the #Dreamforce conference for many years, but after seeing this side of Benioff - no more. 😡

The moment where Hegseth ends his speech and not a single officer claps is the most hopeful thing I have seen in a long time.

What Hegseth did today was inform an organization he’s unqualified to lead that (a) any area in which he believes he personally excels (e.g. physical fitness) is all that matters, and (b) any area in which he’s deficient (leadership, morality, ethics, record, experience, intelligence) is immaterial.

Hegseth is putting all of the American generals and admirals from around the world into a single room. Why might Hegseth do such an extraordinary thing? Here I discuss four possible reasons.

Hegseth puts us all at risk

Why put all the American commanders in one room?

Jimmy Kimmel is being brought back for the same reason he was suspended: Corporations only care about money.

Which is why boycotts work.
