To my ears, it sounded like Tikeah, Shevarium, Tikeah, T'ruah, and ending with Tikeah Gadolah. He did a really good job!

In 1850, after the Fugitive Slave Act was a federal law, it didn't matter if a person who was formerly enslaved had manumission or freedom papers, or if a person was born free, enslavers and their collaborators still kidnapped people and trafficked them to labor camps.

Let's also be clear, it is not the "cities" that are the issue. It is the ethnic & racial diversity of the people who live in cities. This is also why there is a lack of "this thing is good" messaging because it benefits a diverse group of people.

Deep Space Nine scene. Jadzia Dax and Dr. Bashir are in their blue uniforms sitting in the operations center. Bashir is gazing lovingly at Dax. Dax is looking at something else entirely not named Bashir. Closed caption reads, "Men are far too emotional to be leaders."

This Day in Labor History: May 30, 1937. Chicago police opened fire on strikers in front of the Republic Steel mill, killing 10 workers. This was Little Steel's successful attempt to resist unionization. In response to the last major violence against American unions, FDR did nothing! Let's talk!
