My organization is pushing LinkedIn Leaning Certificates recently. Let’s put joy of learning aside for a sec…

Is anyone taking these certificates seriously out there - will they help you with employment?

How Minneapolis Fought ICE With Dildos A sex toy has become a symbol of resistance in Minnesota and beyond.

Joy is resistance, and protesters in Minneapolis engaged in “tactical frivolity” in a unique way. Read more from @hallielieberman.bsky.social:

Ha! Apolitical is political. Everything is political, folks. If you don’t know, now you know….

“As Karen got to know the guards at the Northwest ICE Processing Center where she was held, she kept hearing the same thing from them: that ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. “Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that.””

Joanne Bland, lifelong Civil Rights activist and founder of Selma's Foot Soldiers Park, dies Bland grew up in Selma and became involved in the Civil Rights Movement as a child foot soldier in the 1960s, participating in the historic Selma voting rights marches, including Bloody Sunday.

Joanne Bland, one of the youngest people to march on “Bloody Sunday,” has died. She was 72.

"By the time I was 11-years-old, I had been arrested at least 13 documented times”

Governing enjoyment? New Disney+ terms coming soon…

‘We encourage you to review the updated Subscriber Agreement in full and save a copy for your files. Once effective, it will govern your use and enjoyment of your Disney+, Hulu, or ESPN subscription.’

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

ICE is still in my Minneapolis neighborhood today.

Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocketed In UK After Care Drawdown; Government Covers It Up A Freedom of Information request to the National Child Mortality Database reveals that 22 trans children under 18 died by suicide in England in 2021-22 alone.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.

Then covered it up again when caught.

Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Predawn fire reduces parts of Mississippi's largest synagogue to charred ruins - Mississippi Today A fire heavily damaged Jackson’s only synagogue before dawn Saturday – the same house of worship that was firebombed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1967 because the rabbi had been an advocate for civil rights...

An arsonist hit a Mississippi synagogue Saturday. Seven Torahs were damaged or destroyed in the fire.

One Torah, from the Holocaust, was in a glass case and wasn't touched.

The same synagogue was bombed by the KKK in 1967.

Prescription for Change: Applying Behavioral Science to Workforce Wellness

I wrote for The Wharton School Healthcare Quarterly on considering behavioral science in organizational strategy.

Shoutout to @mattwallaert.com for the course I mention in the article.

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted. Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.
