"Research would tell us that most ICE agents entered into these jobs in part because they want approval, and they want to affirm their masculinity in public," said sociologist Nicole Bedera. "An ICE watch works by surrounding these people ... with disapproval."
Observing ICE agents is 'a de-escalation tactic,' sociologist says
The federal government has accused ICE watchers of breaking the law. Sociologist Nicole Bedera said ICE watchers have science behind them. She spoke with MPR News host Clay Masters.

i do think the combination of Trump and an AI-driven tech bubble could crash the markets, but it’s very important to remember that “what are online leftists saying?” is probably the worst possible way to approach investing

ICE is a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanish in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer means anything. The knock on the door is the sentence.

It’s crazy how you can give the pharmacy a random combination of letters and numbers and your meds will go from $1200 to $35.
But only if you are digitally savvy enough to go to the drug manufacturers website.
It’s built to take advantage of non savvy people.
American healthcare is so broken.

This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history.

A frightening byproduct of professional activism is that average people think they need to be certain, brave, and an expert in order to go do something. You don't. Do it unsure. Do it scared. Do it without having read all the books. Showing up for your community doesn't require a degree.
