"After years of too-online hyper-optimized isolation, people are rediscovering that life is better when somebody nearby knows your name and your general comings and goings.
They might not be your closest friend, but they show up anyway — sometimes awkwardly, sometimes imperfectly, sometimes just to stand there and witness."

Will Bunch’s column today highlighted a term that I hadn’t heard before: neighborism. He defined it as “the powerful reaction from often non-political Americans” to the thuggery of ICE, people standing up for others in their community in a way they never have before. It’s an interesting column and worth a read.

Last Friday, Joseph Zobel, “an average Joe who grew up in Haddon Heights” saw a video that shocked him. First interview with the ICE protester whose viral video reaction has been seen 3 million times.
"neighborism — a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from"
Finally an "ism" I'd like to subscribe to.
