Today in history, 1955: Rosa Parks is arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a city bus to a white man in violation of the racial segregation laws of Montgomery, Ala. Her arrest spurred the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott and became a catalyst for the civil rights movement. /1

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

NEW data I've received: Just 5% of people detained by ICE since October 1 have had violent criminal convictions, 3/4 had no criminal convictions at all. Most "criminals" had immigration, traffic, and vice offenses. Not the "worst of the worst"...
