Watching the MLB All-Star game.

Here's a simple hack if you have one of those insane old remotes like mine with a million buttons and a tiny mute button that makes cutting the BS at breaks a challenge:

Take a small file (even a nail file would do) and carefully notch the edge of the remote beside where the mute is.

Now you can find it by touch in a moment every time.

(De nada!)

The trauma of racial profiling is real, and its effects—especially on youth—are long-lasting.

We must ensure that public spaces remain safe and welcoming—not sites of fear or intimidation.

Your voice matters. Don’t let silence win. Know your rights, and protect the rights of those you serve.

👉🏽 As Coach Wilder puts it:
“The only way you can protect people is understanding that the Constitution has a role. And we have to rely on that. And we can’t cherry-pick it.”

AP: More than 1 million empty seats for Club World Cup group stage.

"...Just 44.9% was filled for five matches at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the site of next year’s World Cup final, and 50% at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, where the 1994 championship game was played...."

(no mention of ICE sowing fear among many of the likely attendees to these matches, including both residents of the US and tourists uneasy about this country's borders)
