Exactly! And it’s behavior we’re still dealing with.

Here are some things that could happen to push back against this culture: Hockey leadership could push back and rebuke this behavior. The men could decide not to go to the White House. Parents could use this as a teaching moment. And we could all support women’s hockey and women athletes even more.

β€œI am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

ICE shackled a woman for 24 hours in a bathroom with 3 other men.

ICE detained a five-year-old child who got sick under their watch.

ICE has gone after people who came here through legal processes.

This is out of control. Kristi Noem has got to go.

It is a sprint and a marathon and a relay race. All of the above. Just ask the people who have been doing the work for decades because it is all part of a larger, longer struggle.

"They say they're coming in to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who bake for us, who take care of us... Alex was murdered while he was helping. I can't stop thinking of Mr. Rogers.
Mr. Rogers said look for the helpers, and right now the helpers have a target on our forehead... Mr. Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Alex Pretti was a Minneapolis ICU nurse who spent his days caring for and saving others. Today, he was shot and killed by a Border Patrol Agent. Alex's life was extinguished by state violence. We must tell the truth about what is happening.
My father warned us, "When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind."
What we are witnessing now (masked raids, people taken without due process, vigilante, Gestapo, and slave patrol-like like tactics normalized under the color of law) is a moral crisis.
Nonviolence demands more than outrage; it demands action.
Congress must dismantle ICE; enact just, humane immigration policies; and ensure implementation of the policies by people who honor the humanity of Black and Brown immigrants, respect those raising their voices in support of immigrants, and seek the safety of community.
The blood of those who are being kidnapped and unjustly killed by agents with impunity is not only on the hands of those who pull the trigger, but on every lawmaker and every court that has the power to intervene and chooses silence.
Creating the Beloved Community requires truth, accountability, and the courage to act before more lives are lost.

1/The law requires a judicial warrant based on probable cause signed by a judge to enter a home or private area in a biz (not an administrative one signed by an β€œimmigration authority” ie a DHS employee). This is clearly unlawful conduct. ICE can’t change the law just because it doesn’t like it.

You don’t need a long history of protest to get involved. You do need to be prepared. And there are lots of online resources to make that happen rapidly.

As always: not everyone is able to contribute the same way. The important thing is to help however we can.
