“Hut” was a later introduction, although by the 1950s it was commonly in use in football. Linguists trace its origins back to military cadence, particularly of World War II, when drill sergeants would holler “Atten-hut!” Another short, sharp sound, it was perfect for preparing the team for battle.
Hut! Hut! Hut!
With less than ten months remaining until midterms, there is no time to waste in the battle to take back Congres and reclaim our country. Just a tad past the midpoint of January, we’re presented with numerous opportunities to ready for battle!
I signed up three weeks ago to work with the folks at Indivisible Marin, but since then have discovered there’s a group Indivisible Sausalito which meets for phone banking within walking distance of my house!
Looking through both groups Facebook posts Wednesday, after reading coverage of Tuesday’s Capitol Hill arrest of rabbis and activists in support of Dreamers, I came upon a posting about president’s plan to unleash ICE agents in Northern California!
U.S. immigration officials have begun preparing for a major sweep in San Francisco and other Northern California cities in which federal officers would look to arrest more than 1,500 undocumented people while sending a message that immigration policy will be enforced in the sanctuary state, according to a source familiar with the operation
Officials at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, declined to comment Tuesday on plans for the operation.
The campaign, centered in the Bay Area, could happen within weeks, and is expected to become the biggest enforcement action of its kind under President Trump, said the source, who requested anonymity because the plans have not been made public. @haleaziz from Feds planning massive Northern California immigration sweep to strike against sanctuary laws

51 Things White People can do for Racial Justice
- Google whether your local police department currently outfits all on-duty police officers with a body-worn camera and requires that the body-worn camera be turned immediately when officers respond to a police call. If they don’t, write to your city or town government representative and police chief to advocate for it. The racial make-up of your town doesn’t matter — This needs to be standard everywhere. Multiply your voice by soliciting others to advocate as well, writing on social media about it, writing op-eds, etc.
