PSA: When there’s a difference between what you feel and what you’re supposed to feel, and you make an effort to correct that, that is called emotion work. When your job is getting paid to do emotion work – the smiling face at MickyD's, flight attendant, even sex work – that’s emotional labor.

Wael spoke to the media in November and talked about how he’s not just losing a caregiver, he’s losing his best friend.
His dad was granted permission to remain in the US.
He was detained at his immigration check in.
He was complying and they took him anyways… and it cost Wael his life:

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

There's a lot of buzz about Christian revival among young adults in the UK & US. Perceptions of revival are fueled by results from opt-in online surveys. However, these surveys may be misleading. Surveys from random samples of the population don't show any clear evidence of revival.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
