OJO Obrero (ojonc.org) is now available. This website features information about confirmed ICE operations in our state to help parents and workers get to school and work safely. OJO Obrero only features sightings that we can confirm involve federal agents, rather than crowdsourced reports

A Charlotte pastor said Border Patrol came into his church and made an arrest in front of children. They cried “a lot,” he said.
“We are trying to clean the property. We didn’t know this is gonna happen.”

I compiled this list for posterity to maintain public access. Find out if there are any in your state.

300,000 people in St. Louis County are eligible for big payouts in RECA settlement money – less than 1% have applied
Government distrust is at the root of the lack of applications, organizers told 5 On Your Side. Here's how you can get either $50,000 or $25,000 in restitution.

One of my grad students said knowledge production is like key lime pie but maybe it’s more like the Baja Blast pie.
A meme in the corporate world is that legal’s idea of a perfect company is one that produces nothing and has no customers. I think this meme is now pertaining to our academic societies, a society that produces no knowledge and has no members.

This pie isn’t for Gen Z it’s for the millennials who are obsessed with “what the kids are up to” and making reviews like “I tried the Baja Blast pie so you don’t have to!”
I went out and bought the new Taco Bell mountain dew Baja Blast pie because I love neon food (it was good!) and also I need to test out my Mr Beast thumbnail face www.businessinsider.com/taco-bell-mo...
Taco Bell's new Mountain Dew Baja Blast pie is part of a strategy to reach Gen Z. I tried it.
Taco Bell's bright green Mountain Dew Baja Blast pie looks disgusting. But it's part of a strategy to reach Gen Z. And it's surprisingly good.

This is horrible news. This program is a huge success, identifies brilliant scholars and gives them a transitional landing place that can help them land a tenure track job in the system. It’s a win for students, their programs, and all the schools in the system. Why end it?
