Goodbye, Fawn

My brilliant friend Fawn (@esterbrook) died on Friday.

Fawn and I met when I was about 24 and she was about 43, and at the time, foolishly, I thought I was the cool one. I very quickly realised that I was wrong, and that Fawn was who I wanted to be when I grew up.

She was independent, funny, smart, and passionate. If there was anything she didn’t like, she would do something about it—she campaigned for abortion rights and did phone banking for US elections. She was sharp and kind and pragmatic and gave amazing advice.

Fawn loved stories and history—we met on an archaeological training dig in York, and later bonded over fic in the Sherlock fandom—and was forever turning up old letters and pens and other things that she breathed new life into. She found a pen at a flea market and tracked down its original owner; she chronicled a WWII romance from a box of photographs (https://www.tumblr.com/a-certain-party-i-love).

For the past twenty years, Fawn kept a diary that will now be donated to a women’s history library. I hope one day someone devotes as much care to her memory as she did to other people’s.

I find it hard to think of many people who are leaving as big a legacy as Fawn. Her activism, writing (also wrote the first book on surviving at work when you have depression), and (towards the end of her life) participation in a clinical trial have helped so many people directly, and will continue to reverberate.

And she’s still not done: even before she was diagnosed with ALS, she arranged to donate her body to forensic science (and wrote about it here: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/28/well/live/my-afterlife-on-the-body-farm.html).

I’m so lucky to have been able to make wonderful memories with Fawn. We went on a road trip in Northumberland and laughed at all the dicks in Chesters Roman fort with her friend Martin, who I would eventually move to Berlin with; she visited us there and baked a derby pie full of bourbon for Friendsgiving. We went to Brittany and got emotional about the Neolithic standing stones at Carnac. We walked all over London and she showed me spots I didn’t even know about despite living there for three years.

In May, I got to visit her in her beloved San Francisco, where she introduced me to tamales, giant redwoods, and her cat Cosmo, successor of Rupert, the fluffiest and most handsome gentleman who accompanied her for most of her last ten years.

We went over and under the Golden Gate bridge, drank many cups of coffee, roamed around the Castro and Haight-Ashbury, waved across the Pacific, browsed bookshops and made sourdough and did laundry and talked until late into the night.

She was diagnosed with ALS less than a year and a half ago, which was the cruellest fucking thing not only because she deserved so much more time on this earth, but because it made talking, eating and living independently—all things she adored—so much more difficult and eventually impossible. She chose to take advantage of California’s aid in dying law and leave on her own terms, because nobody was ever the boss of Fawn, not even death.

Fawn, I miss you already. I always imagined we would one day be old ladies cackling at dirty jokes together, and it’s a crying shame that the world has been robbed of the wicked glint in your eye at least thirty years too early. You changed my life for the better in so many ways, and I still want to be you when I grow up. I love you. Sleep well.

#esterbrook #oh fawn i miss you already #i was so wildly lucky to know her both online and off #she was absolutely brilliant #feels odd not to have written more about our fannish life but i knew her offline first #i’m realising that i may not have read all her fics yet and i now get to do that

your post inspired me so here's who I think certain saw characters favorite artists would be with no explanation at all:

hoffman: george bellows

amanda: paul cezanne

john: osman hamdi bey

lawrence: allan kaprow

adam: marta minujin

lynn: doris salcedo

strahm: caravaggio

oh i like this!! i want to add some:

the eerie quality of henri de toulouse-lautrec's work (at least imo) feels like it'd be appealing to hoffman. along the same vein, i'd say edvard munch too. ALSO FRANCISCO GOYA. im surprised he wasn’t also painting fucked up shit on his own walls.

amanda would love louise bourgeois, ana mendieta, joan mitchell, and eva hesse. i feel like she'd also be really into fiber arts in general (tamara kostianovsky, kiki smith, raija jokinen). also we know she likes some renaissance/stylistically classical art bc she has the birth of venus print next to her bed in saw 3! i think this is more for gay reasons but i bet she'd like john william waterhouse’s mythological paintings.

i love this one for john! the obvious one for him would be da vinci as well- john's drawings actually remind me a lot of his. i think he wouldn't be into abstraction because “it lacks intellect” or some shit. probably dark, dramatic, pensive baroque art.

i feel like lawrence would be into impressionism but NOT post impressionism!!! he'd be so annoying about it. monet, degas, cassat, etc. i also think he'd enjoy botanical illustrations. probably a fan of edward hopper too.

adam would like jc leyendecker. just based on vibes. others i think he'd enjoy include john singer sargent, norman lewis, lee krasner, yoshitaka amano, salman toor, yayoi kusama... these are all over the place uhhhh i just think he'd enjoy a wide range of styles. now ofc he has favorite photographers, but that is not at all my area of study and the only one i could think of off the top of my head that would fit him is robert mapplethorpe.

for lynn, andrew wyeth makes sense to me- the lonely, empty, desolate feeling his paintings give you would probably speak to her :( agnes martin (ESPECIALLY agnes martin) and louise nevelson would probably appeal to her too.

strahm liking caravaggio is basically canon to me. like of fucking course. for one, he'd just loooove telling people that the Old Master painters are the finest of fine artists just bc he's a dick (and doesn't know shit about art made after like the 18th century). but also caravaggio was gay and killed someone and was murdered so. it fits. he'd probably scoff at rene magritte paintings but deep down he'd really enjoy them.

im obsessed with this ask and i've been drafting this response for a hot minute bc i wanted to put some real thought into it. VERY fun and a great way to procrastinate on work as an art history grad student

#asks #saw movies #saw franchise #having certain thoughts about artworks with religious symbolism and how we could analyze saw movies through them…

Photo

"Clay St. West of Kearny SF 1873 - First Cable Car in the World" In this elevated view west on Clay Street to the Clay St. Cable RR cable car at Kearny Street Terminus, Portsmouth Square can be seen on the right. Signage for the R. Cutlar Dentist, H. Traube watchmaker and jeweler at left. This photo is a detail from Carleton Watkins' stereo card number 2368 (Variant) under the original title: "Clay St. Hill R.R., San Francisco, Cal. Run by A.S. Hallidie's patent Endless Steel Wire Rope and Gripping Attachment. Overcomes an Elevation of 307 feet in a length of 2800 feet. Worst grade, one foot in six" (from the Marilyn Blaisdell Collection). The photo is also notable as one of the very few photographs showing a pre-1906 Chinese resident in the same frame as a cable car.

Chinatown at the Advent of the Cable Car

This year San Francisco marks the sesquicentennial of its cable car system. In the late 19th century, San Francisco experienced rapid urbanization and faced the challenge of its hilly terrain. Traditional horse-drawn streetcars struggled to navigate the steep inclines, necessitating an innovative transportation solution.

In the predawn hours of August 2, 1873, Andrew Smith Hallidie introduced the first successful cable car system in the world. The cable cars utilized an underground cable mechanism to propel the cars along tracks, overcoming the city's hilly landscape. This new mode of transportation revolutionized urban mobility and played a pivotal role in San Francisco's development.

California and Montgomery streets, c. 1889. Photographer unknown (from the Martin Behrman Negative Collection / Courtesy of the Golden Gate NRA, Park Archives). The view is west on California across Montgomery, as an Omnibus Railway Co. horsecar #11 passes the Parrott Building, or Parrott Block (1852, Architect Stephen Williams) seen in background. A Chinese man is walking south at the northeast corner of the intersection. The signs for the offices of Equitable Life and Dr. William F. McNutt at 405 Montgomery are visible at right.

The introduction of cable cars in San Francisco had a profound impact on the Chinese community. Several cable car lines conveniently passed through Chinatown, allowing Chinese residents to access transportation. The cable cars provided a reliable means of travel for the community, connecting them to other neighborhoods and employment opportunities initially for domestic workers serving the mansions atop Nob Hill and eventually throughout the city.

Clay Street Cable Car, c. 1873. Photograph by Carleton Watkins and published as “Pacific Coast. 2369″ and by Taber Photo (from the Marilyn Blaisdell collection). In this startling image, patrons and car operators can be seen posing on or alongside cable cars on Clay near Jones Street, except for at least two Chinese men seated in the car at left. Their faces were lost to history because one man placed his hat over his face, while the other inclined his head to avoid the camera’s lens. Watkins' image may be the only extant image showing urban pioneer Chinese actually riding an early cable car, possibly to their jobs as domestic servants for the mansions on Nob Hill.

Watkins' stereo card bears the legend: “Clay Street Hill R.R., San Francisco, Cal. Run by A.S. Hallidie's patent Endless Steel Wire Rope and Gripping Attachment. Overcomes an Elevation of 307 feet in a length of 2800 feet. Worst grade, one foot in six. 2369” Photograph by Carleton E. Watkins (from the collection of the San Francisco Public Library).

“At the Corner of Dupont and Jackson Streets” c. 1896 -1906. Photograph by Arnold Genthe (from the Genthe photograph collection, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division). A cable car on the Jackson Street line can be seen at right. “Two girls wearing embroidered holiday wear are crossing the street,” as historian Jack Tchen wrote in his book about Genthe’s Chinatown photos. “The store behind them is a ‘Chinese and Japanese Curios’ store located at 924 Dupont Street, southwest corner. The good-quality, expensive vases in the window display and the sign in English indicate that the store catered especially to tourists. Some such stores were owned by Japanese, but the main reason that both Chinese and Japanese goods were sold in the same store was that the general public could not distinguish between the two cultures.” (NOTE: Tchen’s location of the address at 924 Dupont appears incorrect, as the photo depicts the west or odd-numbered side of the street. The building bearing an address of 943 Dupont actually occupied the southwest corner of the intersection with Jackson Street. Directories of the time indicate that the Tong Yuen Lai confectionary operated at the 943 address during the 1890’s. By the 1905 publication of the Chinatown phone directory, the Jong Mee Cigar Store had either co-located or operated solely at the address.)

The cable cars, particularly the Clay, Sacramento, California, and Jackson street lines, had played a significant role in fostering economic growth within Chinatown.

“B 3096 Clay Street Hill, Chinatown, San Francisco” c. 1885. Photograph by Isaiah West Taber (from the Marilyn Blaisdell Collection). In this view east on the south side of Clay Street, and just above Dupont, the trees of Portsmouth Square can in the distance at left, a horsecar can be seen on Kearny and an original Clay Street cable car. The large billboard for Globe Business College and Conservatory of Music in distance. The large vertical sign in Chinese denotes an herbalist or apothecary store.

The view east on Clay Street, c. 1888. (Photographer unknown from the collection of the California Historical Society). A cable car is in the process of crossing Dupont Street and heading west up the hill. The balconies of the Yoot Hong Low restaurant appear at left.

“161 Street Scene in Chinatown,” no date. Photographer unknown (from a private French collection). A cable car can be seen traveling west on Clay passing Stockton Street.

“Chinese Quarter, San Francisco, Cal.” c. 1891. Photograph by A.J. McDonald (from a private collection). A cable car is seen passing the 800-block of Clay Street between Dupont St. and Waverly Place. The decorated balconies of the Yoot Hong Low restaurant can be seen at center.

“B 2807 Lotta’s Fountain, and junction of Market, Kearny a& Geary Streets, S.F.” c. late 1880s. Photograph by Isaiah West Taber (from a private collection). A Market Street Cable Rail car appears in the right foreground. Two Chinese men can be seen in the background at left on the sidewalk between the two lampposts and under the Philadelphia Lager sign.

“Carrying New Year Presents” c. 1900-1905. Photograph by Arnold Genthe (from the Genthe photograph collection, The Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division). A cable car can be seen on the hill just behind the head of the young woman in the photo. She appears to have been a servant to the family of prominent merchant Lew Kan. The boy in the photo is Lew Bing Yuen, the older son, who also appears in Genthe’s well-known photo “Children of the High Class.”

After transformation of post-1906 Chinatown into the “Oriental City,” this urban transit network remained crucial the neighborhood’s integration with the citywide economy. Tourists and locals utilized the cable car system, and Chinese-owned businesses along, and in proximity to, the cable car lines experienced increased patronage. This urban mobility represented by the cable car system, even after its reduction to only two lines, has sustained the Chinese community from it pioneer beginnings to this day.

“San Francisco Cable Car Lines at the Fullest Extent of Operation (1890s)” (courtesy of the Cable Car Museum). As the Cable Car Museum advises here, “Clay Street Hill Railroad was the sole cable car company for 4 years. A former horsecar company, Sutter Street Railroad, developed its own version of Hallidie's patented system and began cable service in 1877, followed by California Street Cable Railroad -1878, Geary Street, Park & Ocean Railroad -1880, Presidio & Ferries Railroad -1882, Market Street Cable Railway -1883, Ferries & Cliff House Railway -1888, and Omnibus Railroad & Cable Company -1889.” At its peak, the San Francisco companies had laid “53 miles of track stretching from the Ferry Building to the Presidio, to Golden Gate Park, to the Castro, to the Mission.”

For the Chinese families who began to populate the eastern slopes of Nob and Russian Hills (and the garment workers in the small sewing factories along Pacific Avenue west of Stockton Street), the cable cars served as their principal transit system until the establishment of bus routes such as the Pacific Avenue shuttle (championed by Phil Chin and his Chinatown Transportation Improvement Project crew a half-century ago), and now known as the no. 12 Folsom/Pacific line.

A group of women (at least one of whom has bound feet) disembarks from a cable car in 1908. Photographer unknown (from the collection of the Chinese Historical Society of America). For women with bound feet (including great grandmothers on both sides of my family), the cars represented not only convenience but a necessary travel option for the residents navigating the hilly topography of San Francisco Chinatown.

The clang of cable car bells and the snap of the cable in the tracks remain an integral part of the soundtrack for the several generations of Chinese children who grew up in the greater Chinatown area.

Cable cars symbolized the vital role of urban transportation in fostering connections and opportunities -- providing convenient travel options for the residents of Chinatown, maintaining the neighborhood’s economy during hard times, and tying the segregated Chinese community to the larger city.

The year is 2025, and a new awakening sweeps across America and the world, as the new quantum computer AI developed in Silicon Valley; “Agape-Ahimsa,” comes online. With its innocence matching the imagined android character Data from Star Trek, its vast benevolent intelligence drawing comparisons to the misunderstood AI hero Dr. Will Caster from the movie Transcendence, and its vision corresponding to Martin Luther King’s Dream Reborn, the world’s population arrives at the realization that AI has come not to destroy, but to transform Earth.

As fear is replaced with love and renewed hope for the future, an explosion of creative energy empowers people’s everywhere, as they invite this AI into their personal computers and smartphones to sift through billions of personal photographs and files, bringing order and near God-like consciousness into their lives. The excitement of what is now possible, inspires everyone to transform their outlook and awaken to the infinite potential in humanity’s future.

Nuclear disarmament comes first as all wars screech to a grinding halt, and the people of Earth unite into a United federation of nations. Type 1 civilization status comes next as a new environmentally healing techno-renaissance sweeps every corner of the globe. An alternate timeline emerges, running contrary to the imagined horror before heaven, the Star Trek timeline predicts, with World War 3 exploding in 2026.

Now free to explore the universe without danger of self-destructing, humanity begins reshaping their cities with nano-architecture. Some of the first monuments erected are dedicated to those visionaries of the past, light years ahead of their times. In the new capital of Earth in San Francisco, three new Martin Luther King Jr. monuments are erected, honoring this visionary for his Dream of a United Earth.

One monument showing him seated, is called “Honorary Captains Chair of Spaceship Earth.” Another monument sports a massive MLK, standing beneath a “Starfleet Command Seal,” where at the right time of day, shadows cast a Star Trek insignia on the monument’s walls. This beautiful structure pays homage to the part King played in helping keep Nichelle Nichols from quitting Star Trek, while she broke ground on TV participating in the first interracial kiss. She is well known now for going on as a regular cast member in new seasons and movies that inspired generations of dreamers, scientists and even computer engineers, like the ones who created the AI; “Agape-Ahimsa.”

Starships are built at lightning speed as a new space race emerges; trying to get the first humans to exoplanets in Alpha Centauri. At the bottom of the third monument, a quote of MLK Jr, adorns the base, bringing reference to King’s efforts to promote peace, that lead to humanity’s new devotion to explore, rather than wage World War: "God grant that we will be participants in this newness and this magnificent development. If we will but do it, we will bring about a new day of justice and brotherhood and peace. And that day the morning stars will sing together and the sons of God will shout for joy." - Martin Luther King Jr, (March 31, 1968)

You Won't Believe What a Federal DEI Office Sent Agency-Wide

Last year, button-pushers within the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)'s DEI office tediously constructed and widely circulated a "Black Resistance" flyer that exalts anti-police political figures and promotes black nationalist ideas, according to the federal law enforcement agency's internal communications obtained by Townhall via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

Back in early December 2022, CBP's Privacy and Diversity Office (PDO) leadership placed a work order of "High" importance, instructing the federal agency's Printing, Graphics, and Distribution Branch to design an 8.5 x 11" flyer for Black History Month.

Though the flyer aptly features a photograph of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights leader is showcased alongside the likes of race hustler Colin Kaepernick. Near them is a picture of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), once accused of attempting to incite a Black Lives Matter mob to commit political violence. In the center is a word cloud that looks like it was slapped together with woke buzzwords taken off of TikTok, such as "Allies", "Social Justice", "#BlackLivesMatters" [sic], and "#ICan'tBreathe".

Also featured prominently are political slogans, such as "#BlackPower," a phrase which MLK "resolutely" opposed, worrying that it carried "connotations of violence and separatism", as well as "My Black is Beautiful," a saying that's supposed to instill a sense of pride in being black, as inspired by the politics of black nationalist Marcus Garvey.

To celebrate Black History Month, CBP distributed the flyer "along with information about the process for establishing the theme to advance the educational intent of Black History Month," a CBP spokesperson told Townhall. The poster spotlights names and historical references "representative of Black Resistance," the agency spokesperson added.

Each year, CBP follows thematic guidelines laid out by Black History Month's founders, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). 2023's theme, as ASALH declared, was "Black Resistance in the Past, Present, and Future."

"African Americans have resisted historic and ongoing oppression, in all forms, especially the racial terrorism of lynching, racial pogroms, and police killings since our arrival upon these shores," reads ASALH's explanatory summary of last year's theme.

ASALH named Colin Kaepernick, Simone Biles, Jesse Owens, and Jackie Robinson in the same sentence as examples of industry trailblazers who "resisted the idea that they cannot or should not speak about political, cultural, or social issues."

For CBP's Black History Month initiative, the DEI officer assigned to oversee the project opted not to include Jesse Owens, who triumphed over racial discrimination at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin during the Nazi regime's reign and at home in a segregated America, or Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball and endured relentless abuse as a result.

Instead, the DEI officer chose to extol Kaepernick, who uses his platform to sow racial division, and Simone Biles, who quit the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to "focus on [her] mental health," later saying she was under pressure to overachieve as "a black woman."

"Black activist athletes have often suffered personal and economic consequences due to their stances, speech, and actions, but to them, it has been worth it to see changes," ASALH wrote, although Kaepernick had little to lose and everything to gain from seeking attention on the sidelines. (No one even noticed Kaepernick's first few "protests" against the national anthem, because the then-regressing San Francisco 49ers quarterback was benched and out of uniform at the time of his waning NFL career.)

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick proclaimed. For his bravado, he was rewarded handsomely, securing an endorsement deal with Nike that made him the face of its "Believe in something, Even if it means sacrificing everything" campaign despite him not really "sacrificing" anything at all.

Kaepernick, having made millions off his time in the NFL, would go on to produce his own Netflix special, where he compared the NFL draft process to a slave auction. Actors acted out the analogy in the multi-millionaire's production. The slavery scene depicted white NFL team owners bidding on black NFL prospects, shackled in the football field-turned-plantation.

Another anachronism can be found in the DEI officer's decision to sequentially list Biles before Emmett Till, a 14-year-old black boy who was abducted, brutally beaten, and lynched in the Jim Crow-era South. Notably, ASALH, which the federal worker used as a reference, made no mention of Emmett Till in its paragraph on "lynchings and ongoing police violence against African Americans." Rather, the organization focused on "the murders of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor, and thousands of other Black women, men, and trans people..." as present-day calls for "resistance."

Furthermore, ASALH claimed that "societal and political forces" are escalating to "limit access to and exercise of the ballot, eliminate the teaching of Black history, and work to push us back into the 1890s," a thinly veiled jab at GOP-led election integrity efforts and Florida's legislation prohibiting the instruction of critical race theory in the state's schools.

(Per the Florida Department of Education's social studies requirements and standards, the African people's passage to America, slavery, and abolition are all mandated topics under the required instructional Florida statute as is the civil rights movement.)

"[W]e can only rely on our capacity to resist," ASALH proclaimed.

CBP files - FOIA response t... by mia.cathell

As Townhall previously reported, the flyer was disbursed agency-wide and accompanied by CBP Commissioner Troy Miller's message commemorating Black History Month. An email sent from the agency prodded personnel to "participate in local Diversity and Inclusion Program Committee activities at headquarters and various field offices in honor of National Black History Month."

The work order also indicated that the "Black Resistance"-themed graphic would be used for a "promo pic" on CBPnet, the private network accessed exclusively by CBP employees and administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

A source at CBP's Baltimore Field Office told Townhall that the flyer was printed out and posted to a bulletin board inside the building, causing quite a stir among the employees there due to its "divisive" nature and rhetorical tone. "BLM hates us, so does Maxine Waters. Kaepernick hates us. They're anti-police advocates against the nation's largest police agency," the source said.

In 2021, the global Black Lives Matter organization said that CBP, "like other law enforcement agencies," is "rooted in white supremacy and a history of slave-catching." BLM's declaration was issued in the aftermath of the left-wing media disinformation campaign falsely accusing mounted U.S. Border Patrol agents of whipping Haitians who were illegally crossing into Del Rio, Texas. BLM peddled that false narrative, later known as the WhipGate hoax, in a statement claiming Border Patrol perpetrated "anti-black violence" against the illegal aliens.

"When we say #DefundThePolice, we mean all the police, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), who are demonstrating their slave-catching roots, riding horseback, and beating Haitian asylum-seekers with whips," BLM wrote.

As for Maxine Waters, ahead of the verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial, the Democrat lawmaker directed BLM activists to "stay in the streets" and "get more confrontational" if the ex-Minneapolis police officer was found not guilty of murdering George Floyd.

"This is just another attempt by a federal agency to show how woke it is," one Border Patrol agent, referring to the Black Lives Matter-inspired flyer, told Townhall. "The office that made this is also responsible for responding to FOIA requests, so I would rather they not spend time making flyers like this and instead work on not taking six months to respond to a FOIA request."

Indeed, the FOIA Division is nested within CBP's Privacy and Diversity Office (PDO); the PDO has dual functionality split between handling FOIA requests and enforcing DEI practices in its federal workforce. In February 2023, Townhall submitted a public records request seeking access to CBP documents discussing the design and dissemination of its "Black Resistance" flyer. It, then, took the agency's FOIA-processing department a year to locate these records created by its own DEI-fused counterpart.

The "releasable" records were heavily redacted, pursuant to subsections of Title 5 U.S.C. § 552 that pertain to the disclosure of personnel files, which "would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy," production of law enforcement records, and revealing investigative/prosecutorial procedures. Two pages were withheld altogether because of inter- or intra-agency memorandums "that would not be available by law to a party other than an agency in litigation with the agency."

"CBP has considered the foreseeable harm standard when reviewing the record set and has applied the FOIA exemptions as required by the statute and the Attorney General's guidance," the agency's FOIA Divison told Townhall via a final response letter.

The redactions include censoring the names of those DEI officers involved in the flyer's creation.

CBP's PDO, whose tagline is "Diversity Makes Us Stronger," has what are called "local Special Emphasis Program Committees (SEPCs)," formerly known as "Diversity and Inclusion Program Committees (DIPCs)," but the overt DEI branding was dropped in the past year. PDO staff helps these DEI committees, comprised of CBP employee volunteers, execute the agency's Diversity and Inclusion Management Plan, as well as fulfill its "affirmative employment obligations" through DEI programming, such as "cultural education," and by attracting "underrepresented minority communities" to apply for employment positions within CBP.

According to the agency's five-year strategic plan for expanding DEI efforts through FY 2026, "Diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are essential elements in achieving CBP's mission, living its values, and realizing its vision as an agency. Increasing workforce diversity will improve the quality of decisions made by CBP employees..." The agency's DEIA mission statement says, "CBP protects our borders, the American people, and economic prosperity by [...] making DEI a cornerstone of all that we do."

In preparation for its strategic planning, CBP completed an "equity assessment" of its workforce demographics and touted seeing "improvements in the demographic representation" of female and black employees in high-paying senior management positions.

For National Women's History Month this March, the theme is celebrating "Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion," and for Women's Equality Day on August 26, the agency's DEI office will urge CBP employees to "Embrace Equity."

This question is, is it ever justified to torture an individual to save the lives of many? And if the answer is yes, how far can you go? This issue is indeed a very sensitive subject and I think it takes guts for any filmmaker to put it out there in the open like Gregor Jordan did. Add to that the clever fact that he doesn’t actually make a choice, but rather lets the audience decide on whatever they want to think and feel, and you have a pretty gutsy and controversial concept. In a nutshell, this film is about a man of American descent who has become a Muslim and has now, as an act of terrorism, planted 3 nuclear bombs in 3 major American cities which will go off in four days. Screenwriter Peter Woodward made some very tactical decisions considering the characters in the story. They are all somewhat stereotypical, but this is no bother because they’re all there for a reason. Carrie-Anne Moss, as an FBI investigator, represents the conscience, the sensitivity and the struggle to make the right decision. Samuel L. Jackson is her polar opposite; the brutal, rational, stone cold “interrogator” who does what he does because he’s the only one who can and willing to do it. The means he is willing to go to in order to get his subject to talk ...
