Watching the Olympics. I can't believe that it's the penultimate day already. Where did the days go?

Really, I can say the exact same thing for any time that I have a week off of work. I barely make it to the end of the school term, then I end up crashing out.
Oh well, rinse and repeat!

A judge ordered Don Lemon released on his own recognizance after he was indicted for interfering with a religious service during an ICE protest in Minnesota.
The judge also denied the government’s request for a $100,000 bond and refused to restrict his travel.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

Feels like given DHS making up stories about what we can plainly see in the murder videos, we have to just presume every other death under their purview is also murder.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.
