This was a super enjoyable, most clever puzzle! Looking forward to many more from Danny Rooney. He has a gift!
Though I got the PHI rebus, my tired little brain still couldn’t quite figure out what was going on here to make it all acceptable,
@JohnWM I wonder if the constructor was originally planning the clue to be “______ Citizens bank” to recognize the protest movement started last fall against that bank which finances companies that build ICE detention centers. The clue might have been seen as too political, or this growing movement not yet well-known enough for a Tuesday.
@G Useful to know. The movement started with two people standing in front of one branch in Boston in November, and then the De-ICE Citizens Bank Coalition formed in December or January and has been growing since then. On June 6 there will be about 100 rallies in front of the banks in about 15 states. Rachel Maddow has covered this movement a couple of times, but it is taking time to get widely known. Citizens has been financing two huge private prison companies that operate ICE detention centers, one of them being Delaney Hall where the recent hunger strike and protests have taken place.
