The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

* In the 1860s, candy-pulls were THE place for young people to hang out in certain rural communities. There are endless tales of romance and broken hearts and fights and straight-up murders that occurred in the excitement. Very "kids these days don't know how to behave" but over candy.

* You know how Van Halen had a contract rider demanding bowls of M&Ms with the brown ones removed?
They later claimed that was all a test to make sure venues were reading their contracts. Clever!
BUT WAIT, that claim itself is actually false. I fact-checked it.

* Pop Tarts and other toaster pastries only came about after food scientists figured out how to make *dog food* semi-moist, and then applied that technology to human breakfasts. In other words, if you like Pop Tarts, thank a dog.

Contra the latest NYT bit - SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE at rallies and protests in NC. And brave ones - when they and their parents are the ones being profiled and dragged out of their cars, churches, grocery stories, school parking lots.
This is one of my Duke students. High schoolers spoke as well.
