In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Last week, 20-year-old Amber Czech was murdered by a coworker who told law enforcement he simply did not like her.
This happened during a year where the Trump administration cancelled grants to address gender-based violence in the workplace.

a cartoon character says mais va-t-en de la toi in french
Alt: Mr. Ages, a bearded cartoon mouse in spectacles and a smock, says “mais va-t-en de la toi” as he shoos a ladybug away from his work station. In this scenario, I am Mr. Ages and the actual mouse is the ladybug. It’s not the cleanest metaphor.
