This is something that I carry with me and play often. It comforts me; I hope it does the same for you.
It’s a spot-on soundtrack for this particular 4th of July.
Thank you, Mssrs Toussaint and Simon.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Amtrak's restored service between New Orleans and Mobile has far exceeded initial ridership projections since launch in August, just like what happened when the Borealis service was established between Chicago and St. Paul last year.
Amtrak is currently expecting to double the first-year estimates.

Gulf Coast train line is among the most successful in Amtrak’s history. See ridership totals.
The route’s early success has raised hope for some advocates of regional train travel. See how many people have taken the train since its launch in August.

On this day in 1989, an armed gunman murdered 14 women at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Another ten women and four men were injured.
The anniversary of the massacre is commemorated annually on Dec. 6 as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

Couldn’t we point this particular krewe at ICE agents?
They could be gathered in Krampus’ bag and spirited away for being very bad this year.

Update: interesting CNN interview with the two leads suggesting a solution I had not considered: the clock conforms to the actors, not vice versa. Wild.
Also the grim curtain call is scripted; the director didn’t want a grinning cast breaking the tragedy’s spell. Really illuminating interview.

I watch one TV channel. It’s not ESPN, so not subsidized by everyone else’s subscriptions. And it doesn’t have ads, fascinating in a modern landscape. Only an intense group cares about it. And every six months someone tries to set it on fire to squeeze an extra two bits out of the ashes.
