coverage from me - even with this ruling, the arrests have traumatized refugees who waited years to come to the US as a safe haven

Refugee Arrests Shatter Sense of Safety in Minnesota - Christianity Today
A federal judge ruled that ICE can no longer arrest legally admitted refugees in the state, many of whom are persecuted Christians. But damage has been done.

For every person in the street in a video of something big there are 20 at each school each arrival & dismissal, dozens of drivers of kids & groceries &c, a spreadsheet maintained by a team, people feeding people, people checking in on people, supply drive coordination, rent fund establishment...
It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to
- create safe spaces
- protect schools
- get kids TO school
- check on neighbors
- deliver groceries
- help pay the rent
- let people know of danger
- feed the helpers, too!
- and on and on

I saw a critique of Springsteen's new song, it being too earnest and cringe, and if I could just take a second to introduce you to the entire Bruce Springsteen catalogue we could settle this in a heartbeat.

And by "the theater," Tom Homan (paid by us) means the occupation (paid for by us) by state agents (armed & paid by us) of a state that annually sends $44 million more in taxes to DC than it gets back in federal support for the 5.8 million Americans who live there - or, as they might say, "us."
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Striking numbers which demonstrate, in spades, how tiny is the popular support for the culture of hate that Britain's institutions seem determined to impose on a kind and accepting majority.

(Expect the BBC to ignore it or qualify it to oblivion.)

There was a genesis to this phenomenon I've never seen spoken about.

8-10 years ago I used to be in a lot of online hobby spaces. They had long had a 'optimisation culture' where a many folk didn't do stuff guided by enjoyment, but by following an 'optimal' path....

Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn’t even at the protest — his wife was — but prosecutors are pressuring him into giving up his permanent resident status because he allegedly moved a box of zines the day after. Now that he’s going to trial, he’s looking at decades behind bars and deportation.

it’s that time of year again when everyone and their cousin is looking for a therapist!

if that’s you or someone you know and you’re completely overwhelmed/have no idea what to say, here’s an outreach template that includes everything i (a therapist) would need to know about a prospective client.

This is an *extremely* important story. Food pantries and mutual aid are beautiful, critical things, but the need will be greater than they can meet. People across the country are going to be forced to choose between paying for food or paying rent.

THIS, ALL DAY. We call it Cedar Riverside. Everyone just calls it Cedar Riverside. And we go there, regularly, for all sorts of reasons: there are theaters in that same neighborhood, there's a college, there's a music venue, and there are some excellent restaurants.
We go through this every few years: NO ONE HERE CALLS CEDAR RIVERSIDE LITTLE MOGADISHU
