If Hilton is going to punish franchisees for doing the right thing, then Hilton deserves a boycott. We’ve seen what collective action can do, Tesla’s declining sales are proof. The same pressure can work here too.

This didn’t start as some big corporate policy. It started with individual Hilton franchisees making a choice. A Hampton Inn in Lakeville, Minnesota refused to host ICE agents. That decision came from the people running the hotel, not from protests or outside pressure.

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

This is Big Mac. He is a wonderful gentle giant of a street dog who has advanced kidney failure.

I gave him a golden ticket 🎫 to stay with us and live out his days.

Today I wanted to give him the best day of his life. I think we succeeded… (1/8) 🧵
