ALT A slightly more eloquent version of what I told my philosophy students tonight: Now's a great time to use those critical thinking skills we've been working on! (1) Don't believe everything you see on social media. There's a LOT of mis- and disinformation out there. Check sources. Wait for confirmation. (2) Listen carefully for how people are grouped together. Who says "Palestinians" when they should say "Hamas"? Who conflates Israeli leadership with Israeli people? Who blames Jews or Muslims en masse? (2)(a) Who "dies" and who "is killed"? Who is a "civilian," who is an "enemy," who is "collateral damage"? (3) Who wants to shut down thinking and questions and instead rush into action? What actions and why?

ALT We Demand Jobs for Residents We've all seen police officers in yellow vests at construction sites, telephone and electric sites, and other street work. These cops aren't on duty. They are paid by private companies to direct traffic. We believe our community members can and should work these details. Boston Police officers make more than $27 million every year in construction detail pay from private companies on top of their salaries and overtime pay. We are organizing with community members to demand civilian flagger jobs at prevailing wages - especially for Bostonians who have struggled to get good, stable jobs because of CORIs. Every year, police officers turn down more than 40% of the construction details jobs. These companies already have the budgets to pay for this work. If we moved construction details out of the Boston Police Department, we could CREATE HUNDREDS OF UNION JOBS FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS! We have a vision for a community-led construction details office ...
