I missed this news when it happened a few days ago, but apparently ICE has canceled their plans to build detention centers in Berks and Schuylkill Counties! Of the 11 warehouses ICE bought across the country to convert into detention centers, 7 are being sold or given away to other government agencies.

The Jordan Brothers - Good Time (1967)

I was recently in Pittsburgh visiting family, when I struck up a conversation with by the parents of my sister in law.  They’d grown up in eastern Pennsylvania, and somehow they mentioned that they’d met at a teen dance  in Frackville, PA.  Local heroes the Jordan Brothers played every weekend.

‘Cancel culture’ in coal country: Two Trump-voting brothers on a mission to fight racism in Schuylkill County | WITF

Andy and his younger half brother Ronald Stanley ‘Stosh’ Webb Jr., 44, have a lot in common.

Both could be poster children for Schuylkill County: They were born here, grandsons to a coal miner in the heart of anthracite coal country. They are Trump voters, in a county that gave the president 69% of the vote. And they’re both veterans — right at home in an area where nearly a tenth of residents have served in the military, with the sometimes caustic, less-than-PC sense of humor to prove it.

But there’s a key difference. Andy is white. Stosh is Black.

Now, these model ‘Skooks’ have become unlikely champions for so-called ‘cancel culture,’ on a mission to hold their neighbors accountable for racism they say has been too easily overlooked, both past and present. Their campaign has brought the issue into local public debate in an election year that feels, to many voters, like a referendum on Trump’s treatment of non-white communities.
