Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

@workingfamilies.org asked me to text three (3) friends & let them know that I'm voting on the Working Families ballot line (row D) in this election. I don't have three (3) friends so I hope this does the trick.

I also attended private school. That & $3.25 will get you a one-way ride on the subway. But let me go back & check my diploma. I didn't realize it conferred upon me the right to be the arbiter of who is worthy of grace & empathy & who is not.

Okay Jess you on the mike. I need you to say this and elaborate because YES

From what I learned (also from private school) - the flip side of this is also meaningful.

The presumption of guilt and punishment enacted by the powerful does not mean one is guilty.

It means simply that one has been deemed an outsider.

And outsiders lose.

Sorry went to private school and seeing too much of this

The presumption of innocence and grace granted by enablers isn’t empathy

It’s moral self indulgence at the expense of others

A fight broke out at a Sade concert in Cincinnati back in the day & she stopped singing & said she wouldn't start back up until they quit. They stopped.

What would be the wildest concert for a fight to break out at?

I think air traffic controllers would be excellent Uber/Lyft drivers. You'd probably get to your destination so quickly & efficiently.
