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.

“protesters” are not “clashing” with law enforcement. violent federal agents have waged war on minneapolis and regular people are telling them to get the fuck out. and last time i checked being in a group chat doesn’t mean you’re in a professional organization. it means you have friends.

For the recipe, this is why Minneapolis schools closed. ICE went to at least 2 other Minneapolis schools yesterday. Don't let this news get buried
Minneapolis Public Schools canceled school on Thursday and Friday, citing safety concerns after ICE agents deployed tear gas at Roosevelt High School, merely hours after an ICE agent shot and killed a woman a few miles away, according to the teachers’ union.

There are reasons I like my office. It may be grey and dreary, but at least I get daylight. Other views have warehouses and parking lots, and this is a fairly busy road, but daylight
After tomorrow the sun sets later every day. So excited!
