I just found out that there's a clinical term for the kind of grief a lot of chronically ill people feel when we aren't immediately dying, but we are watching our bodies deteriorate with no end in sight. Ambiguous loss. Applies to other things too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguo...

Watching ICE go door to door in Minneapolis, local and state authorities permitting it...it's impossible not to think of Kristallnacht. The Great Removal of the 5 SE Tribes. 1942, when Japanese-Americans were forced into camps.

once again: ICE is operating as if they have a general warrant, the specific type of warrant the founders were most concerned about when drafting the 4th Amendment
Not remotely legal. Minnesota needs to arrest these thugs breaking down doors right now, before they start grabbing even more power

warrants require particularized, material facts specifically because “go round up everyone with a general characteristic or similarity” is exactly what they were protecting against

Books don't turn kids into someone else. Books show them they don't have to deny who they really are.
No book is going to turn kids into someone else. But books will regularly show kids other people like them and show those kids they're not alone. And they'll show kids other types of people who also exist. There is a large proportion of the population who are terrified of this.
