This piece by Garrett Graff is beautifully explained and gives a detailed history of how we got here with ICE and CBP.
The brutal Minnesota occupation—the Global War on Terror transplanted from Kabul or Baghdad to US soil—has a lot of people asking basic q's about ICE and CBP, so I wanted to explain the agencies' problems and what changed to bring this war to our streets. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...

What he's describing is a violation of several Minnesota state laws! He should go out and do law enforcement!
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

It's customary for Japan's Prime Minister to step into the ring at the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament to bestow the PM's Cup on the winner. But Japan's current PM is a woman - and, even today in the 21st century, the sumo ring remains off-limits to her.

It’s only a matter of time before Saizeriya follows suit. As the old saying goes, “Yesterday’s price is not today’s price, and today’s price is not tomorrow’s price.”
Most restaurants in Japan are raising prices & slashing portions. Not "Italian" chain Saizeriya: it's locked prices but still turning a profit. ITMedia says that, by holding prices steady, Saize becomes a bigger value & consumers spend more, keeping it competitive w/o ad spend.

A survey by the marriage counseling company Presia found that 70% of married Japanese women polled regret marrying their current husbands. The majority (65 respondents) cited their partner's low income as a factor they regret compromising on.

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:
I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

There's a bypass entrance in Toyota, Aichi Prefecture, that ends in a loopback if you miss the bypass turnoff. But instead of calling the road a "dead end" in English, it simply says "The End." This is currently amusing pretty much everyone on Japanese social media.
