Schools in Saint Paul were closed Tuesday and Wednesday as teachers prepared to do online and in-person teaching simultaneously due to safety concerns about ICE.
Kids in my daughter’s school refer to those two days off as Evil Break.
As in, “So what did you do over Evil Break?”

my Blackest opinion is that the presumption of conflict between "America has a long and deeply rooted history of violence" and "we can and should fight against today's version of that, as did those who came before us" is less a philosophical debate about how to treat the past and more a skill issue

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link.
DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS.
This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it!
Stay frosty, friends.

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

In the first of what's likely to be many collaborations with @hebagowayed.bsky.social (and my @us.theguardian.com debut) we argue that abolishing ICE would be a good start.

They are kidnapping non-white people, regardless of status only to sort them out later, often not even taking them to the federal building but abandoning them beaten miles from where they were. And they are brutalizing witnesses, most of whom are white citizens who only have whistles and phones.

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.
