When I worked at Home Depot, we had a protocol for Code Adam: a lost child. We stopped the exits and nobody left with a kid, and we searched the places where kids often turned up.
One day, a Code Adam was called. I went with a manager I knew to sweep the restrooms. I checked the ladies; empty. I joined him in the men's where he had found the kid. The kid was accompanied by an adult he did not know, who had changed the boy's clothes and was caught in the act of cutting the kid's hair...

The first reported case of this was in 2020 in Detroit. The police used facial recognition technology to help them identify a shoplifter but all they had was a grainy image from surveillance video & got it wrong. Im gifting this article for all to read https://t.co/9uL209OkJC
Do you all realize Trump has destroyed our rights? DHS can break down your door in the middle of the night, with no warrant, trash your apartment and all your belongings, zip tie you, zip tie your children and drag you all out into the street naked, throw you into a van, imprison you for as long as they feel like it with no lawyer, no calls, nothing. It doesn’t matter that you are a citizen. They act with near total impunity.
All I can think about is last year when so many folks who voted for Harris were laughing and making deportation jokes and thinking that this wouldn’t affect Black people.
“If we withhold the jobs report, there are no job losses”
“If we don’t measure food insecurity, no one’s hungry”
“If we delete right-wing violence research, there’s no right-wing violence”
“If we don’t release inflation data, there’s no inflation”
Notice the pattern?
Jimmy Kimmel goes after Trump and Brendan Carr for trying to shut down his show:
“The President made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here, fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke…
This show is not important, what is important is we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this”
