People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

We are now witnessing—some of us in incredulous horror—what happens when a society confuses authority with innocence and violence with virtue. We have built legal doctrines that reward escalation. We have granted weapons to institutions without demanding restraint.

Every American citizen is apparently worried about what it will cost them personally to go on a general strike.
When what they should be asking is what it will cost them—and the world entire—if they don't.
You've run out of time, America. ICE was just the appetizer. This is the main course:

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

You know, the other day I told someone that a product had been recalled due to salmonella contamination that had led to dozens of cases.
I recommended they check the batch numbers.
They said “It’ll be fine…” and ate it anyway. 🤷🏻♀️

Good news in the fight against COVID-19 🧬
Scientists have developed a nasal peptide drug that locks the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, preventing the virus from entering cells.
In animal studies, it blocked multiple COVID-19 variants, showing strong potential as a future preventive nasal spray.
