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.

So much this! There's a huge amount of amazing stuff going on, but it's almost entirely organized community-self-defense against state terrorism!
National media: Please stop describing what’s happening in Minneapolis as “protests.” There has been a modest, sustained protest outside the Whipple federal building, about 10 miles from downtown, but... 1/3

“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.

The cognitive dissonance of preparing to teach girl scouts about the world while discussing the fact that ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis today and also went to Minneapolis schools

I just finished The Broposal by @sonorareyes.bsky.social and am filled with thoughts on how illegal immigrants function in American society today, female on male partner abuse and society's denial of it, Mexican American joy and family and support, loving the supportive transgender character,

I tried to take pictures of the fluffy snow with clear snowflakes yesterday morning. My camera is amazing for a phone, but macro photography is beyond it. Here's my favorite anyway

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!

Oh, wow! It's 22*F. That's almost 40* warmer than my morning commute yesterday!

Yes, that's really as much difference in temperature as 42* and 80*.

This is my favorite place to donate to help make the world a better place. I quote them as elders in my faith community when I write my religious right representative
Our tax $’s should fund:
✔️Feeding children, ❌not building weapons.
✔️Healthcare, ❌not tax breaks for billionaires.
✔️Sheltering people, ❌ not disappearing our neighbors.

If you agree, please consider supporting our work in defense of peace, justice, & human dignity this #GivingTuesday:
