This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”
Really listen to it.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Saw The History of Sound on Prime, based on a story by Ben Shattuck. A unique telling of American Folk music. The songs, sung A Capella, are hauntingly beautiful, told through the relationship of two gifted men. The movie is poetry through music at it's best. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyX6...

More than 250 investigators at the D.O.E.’s Office for Civil Rights, which enforces laws that bar discrimination, were informed that they were being laid off. “I am seeing the 1964 Civil Rights Act eviscerated right before my eyes,” one senior manager said.

“Exposure is not something that ICE wants,” a Los Angeles City Council member said. “When you are engaged in a systematic, unconstitutional activity where you’re trying to grab as many people in your net as possible, you do not want cameras.”
