Don't say arrested. Kidnapping and abduction are the correct words for what they are doing. They are the homegrown terrorists, given license by a cruel and lawless regime intent on destroying all we could have been.

I've been very frustrated when people keep writing articles about these things being by and for women and then listing them with "Red, White & Royal Blue" (author is nonbinary) and "Heartstopper" (author is nonbinary). Like okay, so you're all just being transphobic about this, got it 👍

then they can fucking arrest the ice officers for assault, breaking and entering, etc
The Daily had an interview with the MPD chief. They’re getting regular 911 calls because federal agents are leaving cars in the street after detaining people. Local officers are overwhelmed, feel ICE/BP are putting them at risk with dangerous tactics, unraveling progress made since George Floyd.
It's 10am in Minneapolis and rapid response is underwater, reports of chemicals deployed already.
As others have pointed out, the ratio of feds (with more arriving) to residents and square mileage here is extreme compared to what we experienced in Chicago.

I'm noting this because I wonder how much my first encounter with fantasy being the multicultural Elfquest instead of Tolkien or even Rowling meant that my expectations for what fantasy should be was wildly different from others. I don't think I'd notice a lack of British culture at the root.

There is no way to talk about "birth rate" that isn't coded language for "women don't have bodily autonomy", so yeah, I'm not going to be chill about that.
If you want to talk about the size, age, and skills of the labor force, talk about that. Start there instead of NEED MORE BABIES.

I’m gonna say it: it’s stupid how psychotic people get when birthrates are discussed. If you scream at and shout down anyone who isn’t a handmaids tale type when the subject comes up, then the policy space is going to be dominated by them, for what’s clearly going to be a consequential issue.
