This is super cool! That video mentions heavy rain could cause some interference, anyone know how significant of a concern that is? Like how heavy of rain has what kind of impact on speeds?

It’s a classic cop routine:

• Step 1: do some violence
• Step 2: realize it looks kinda bad, look around and arrest somebody else for what they just did
• Step 3: profit (time and a half for their trouble)

It looks like Puente Arizona and the Phoenix Legal Action Network have one, but it might just be in the Phoenix area. 480-506-7437, more info here.

We’ve got a hotline in Colorado! (844) 864-8341 They verify reports and share info with the community, and dispatch volunteer legal observers and immigration attorneys. Not sure if orgs in any other states have stood up something similar.

Most Jews are not israeli and israel is not representative of Judaism, but israel does claim Judaism as a core part of its “national” identity, so there’s nothing antisemitic about pointing out the irony of Nazis supporting israel. The irony may be pretty superficial tho, some of the other replies here point out several reasons why Nazism and Zionism/israel are actually aligned.

There’s great arguments here about how a service corps could bridge divides and give all youth a better pathway from highschool into the (often predatory) worlds of job markets and higher ed, and also great arguments about why mandatory service infringes on freedom pretty significantly.

Is there a way to structure a national year of service idea that gives people the freedom to opt out yet would still get chosen by many kids from diverse backgrounds? Like how do we get kids who have had a college fund ready to go since they were born to see the benefits of spending a year building bridges? It would be a neat cultural shift.
