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.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.
We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

ICE is rounding people up, putting them in for-profit concentration camps, and forcing them to work based on the 13th amendment. They are literal slave catchers.

Hell of a Python programming project. Ask me about SQLite if anybody gets stuck
Here is a detailed list of people on LinkedIn who work for ICE.
Someone needs to make a torrent file of all these lists so they can be kept up forever.
Or at least until Nuremberg 2.

ICE recently purchased software that can scrape data from all the phones in a certain radius.
They then follow those phones' locations back to their home or work.
They are tracking us.
No reason why we shouldn't be able to track them.

Authoritarian regimes use their power to kill all sources of accountability. Here, they are targeting both public employees sharing information that Trump appointees won't about the dismantling of your government, as well as reporters who amplify that information.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.
