I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

Today at the Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota while federal agents rushed the protest crowd, one agent is filmed pushing a protester and slipping on ICE. Another agent has his pepperball gun broken and he slips on the cartridge holder while dropping pepperballs all over.

Thinking that protestors have to be held to a higher standard because of “optics” is just a manifestation of the fear that every American is a secret Republican and it’s nonsense. A police station was burned down in Minneapolis four years ago and the Democrats won a trifecta!

If you buy your kids the Harry Potter video game, they'll grow up to be big maladjusted losers who only read bad YA fiction as adults, if you buy your kids Yakuza 0 they will grow up to own a cool jacket.

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home.
Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

Hate is on the rise—and it’s showing up in ways that should alarm every single one of us.
We’re seeing violent attacks targeting people for who they are, what they believe, or how they choose to live. That’s unacceptable.
