I hope people realize that fighting these raids by arguing they "aren't decreasing crime" is a losing battle -- they do not care and will simply change the definition of "crime."
Over 20,000 students stayed home from school Monday in Charlotte amid ICE raids, representing 15% of enrollment
The district is nearly one-third Hispanic, per WBTV

Nearly 21,000 Charlotte-Mecklenburg students absent from school on Monday, officials say
Officials did not make it clear if the absences were connected to the on-going immigration operation in the city.

Hey twin cities friends!
There’s a new website for the Mn Rapid Response network, now called Monarca.
It has the hotline to call if you see 🧊 activity as well as Know Your Rights information and lists upcoming community trainings.

The irony here is painful.
Alice Wong wrote a column for Vogue called Disability Visibility. You can still find all her writing for Vogue under her author name.
But *Disability Visibility* - also the name of the advocacy group she launched - has been erased.
Exactly how disabled people often are.

Hi Minnesotan Bluesky:
The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party.
