A trusty pup, a good book, and a sarsaparilla- these are some of my favorite things.

Something a little different. Some cartoonists put out a call for comics about local ICE experiences. This one happened a few months ago so it's a little older than current events, but it's a story that I never stopped thinking about. #ICEoutcomics
An image of a volleyball against a blue background. The text says: In my home state of Massachusetts, ICE is hunting a man who has an expired visa. They find the man’s car, but the driver is just the man’s son, a teen heading to volleyball practice. ICE arrests the teen. A conversation between two people in speech bubbles: “Do you know why you’re under arrest?” “No.” “Because you’re illegal. You’re an immigrant.” “Ma’am, I was seven years old.” Then, text at the bottom says: The teen is put into a concrete cell with 35 men. The community rallies behind him. There's an image of yard signs with the smiling face of the teen that say Free Marcelo. Some quotes from locals: “He’s one of our brothers. Without him, it just kind of feels like a dark, empty room.” -volleyball team captain. “This administration isn’t keeping us safe by putting 18-year-old honors students in prison.” -MA Rep. Moulton In the cell, the teen helps translate for those who don’t speak English. Many are ill. After 6 days, he’s released. There's an image of a hand and arm, with a crinkly foil bracelet tied around the wrist. Wearing a bracelet that another detainee made him from one of the thin mylar blankets they were given, he says: “ I don’t want to cry. But I want to say...nobody should be in here.”

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.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

What’s Your School’s Plan?

How do you plan to protect your students, families, and community from an ICE surge? What’s your plan to keep everyone safe during drop-off, pick-up, and throughout the day if your school is swarmed by ICE?

By the time schools open tomorrow, every school needs a plan.

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

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.

The McGintys, who own the McMinnville Grocery Outlet, tried to offer 10% discount to all SNAP recipients. But when the Regime told them no, they came up with a go-around:

Extending the offer to ALL customers.
Feds told Oregon grocers they couldn’t offer 10% off to SNAP recipients, so they got creative
The honor system is in place at three Oregon stores, now offering discounts to all who need it.

Sharing this again. It's from four years ago, and censorship continues to rear its ugly head. Thank you, Meg, for stating this so well.

GET THIS: One of the men who defamed Amanda Jones tucked his tiny tail btwn his legs & posted an apology. That’s nice, but we already knew the truth about Amanda’s attackers. Plato summed it up: “False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.” @librarianjones.com
