There's a number of Christmas events downtown this weekend. So far I haven't seen any plans online to protest or otherwise disrupt those events, but it would follow similar tactics in NYC etc.

I was downtown Friday and saw a bunch of preps for the Pro-Israel rally at city hall, tons of pedestrian barriers up all over the plaza. I have not been able to find anything reporting on the event today.

Reported by a coworker whose case was delayed by this protest. Asking local governments to make statements on shithole countries policies are deeply unserious. Governments need to grow a spine to stick to their responsibilities. And the 19th Amendment was a temendous mistake.
Dallas does better by limiting the open mic night to a certain number of speakers before a meeting, then the others can go on and on when the reasonable people are done. https://www.fox4news.com/news/plano-city-council-israel-hamas-cease-fire |

13 arrested after blocking Dallas Love Field entrance during Gaza war protest
https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/13-pro-palestinian-protestors-arrested-after-blocking-dallas-love-field-entrance/3428863/ Police arrested over a dozen protestors blocking the entrance of Dallas Love Field against the Gaza war on Monday evening. The Dallas Police Department said officers responded to reports of protestors blocking traffic at the intersection of Mockingbird Lane and Herb Kelleher Way around 6:20 p.m. Protesters were demonstrating outside the airport in support of Palestine and calling on President Joe Biden to pursue a ceasefire, according to NBC 5's Keenan Willard. Police said they gave the protestors three warnings to clear the roadway, but they refused. As a result, 13 demonstrators were arrested and charged with obstruction of a highway or other passageways. |

DMN article on new NGO industrial complex entity: Christians Against Christian Nationalism
Christian nationalism is a large threat in North Texas, says local organizer In the News: Faith category. Organization names to watch are bolded. Christians Against Christian Nationalism is a project of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, a nonprofit based in Washington, D.C. In her work for the project, Jacob is focused on educating North Texans on what she sees as the dangers of Christian nationalism and mobilizing concerned residents to speak and vote against bills that may threaten protections for religious minorities. Christians Against Christian Nationalism is advocating against implementation of the new Texas law that allows public schools to employ chaplains, including unlicensed ones, with money earmarked for school safety. Last year, the group helped organize chaplains across Texas to sign a statement opposing the law before it was enacted in September. Now, Jacob is focused on the March deadline by which all Texas school districts will vote individually on whether to use their safety funding to pay chaplains. Her organization is creating educational resources to help people learn when their school boards are voting on the proposal and how it would impact them. Jacob’s organization chose North Texas to hire its first field organizer for two reasons, she said. “The threat of Christian nationalism is large in our region, but it’s a place that we’ve had strong existing partnerships as well.” Local partners include Fellowship Southwest, the Hispanic Baptist Convention of Texas and Faith Commons, in addition to churches committed to fighting Christian nationalism. The group has built a “bipartisan coalition” of area residents, Jacob said, which “lends itself to lots of diverse perspectives and ideas.” “It’s people that are committed to living out their faith. Faith is not a theoretical thing for them or a thing that is private, but faith becomes the thing that compels them to love their neighbor well, and that is fighting against Christian nationalism in this way.” Joy Ashford covers faith and religion in North Texas for The Dallas Morning News through a partnership with Report for America. |

I saw a resume from a young person who had spent a month there. Heck, shouldn't even put it on your resume for just a month. Shows bad judgment to start, but good judgment to realize it and quit soon? Why the city doesn't have any money - 20-year-plus employee retired in 2017 during the pension scandal[1]. Not police/fire but just worried about the civvy side I guess. But then joins a consultant and works the same job for 6 more years, finally really retired this year! So for the same position the City is paying both the pension and the consultant's continuous rates for staff augmentation. [1] - I should clarify now, the FIRST/latest/2017 pension scandal. |
