The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

In America's execution chambers, Elizabeth Bruenig has watched three men die. Stephanie Bai interviewed her about the twin impulses of mercy and revenge, and why, when sitting across from a man on the cusp of death, she chose not to look away.

I just discovered a hidden gem on YouTube, "It came from the manga," a channel where translator Nicholas Theisen performs dramatic English language readings of pre-WW2 manga. This is a clip from Sho-chan Adventures. It currently has only 174 subscribers - but it deserves more!

This episode was one of the best of DS9. And I wonder if it had a message for those who are mere filing clerks in similarly oppressive regimes.

Our community is overwhelmingly powerful now. We need to come together to be a positive influence on the world. We cannot allow the people along the fringes become radicalized. But how?

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⤵️

Florida child welfare officers found a 17-year-old living in a shed with no food or water. They sent him to a foster home... and then reported him to ICE, whereupon he was handcuffed and shackled and marched to detention. Not only is that victimizing him again, it violates Florida's own rules.

These ICE protests aren't just protests. They are direct actions, with strategy behind them calculated to protect our neighbors and loved ones from kidnapping and torture. Activists are debating and experimenting with and fine-tuning tactics with the goal of disrupting and delaying ICE trafficking.
