If you feel like doing a small good thing today, you could do worse than getting something off a teacher's list. Like mine! #clearthelist

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

If you ever wonder why people say "slippery as an eel" I can confirm that one time we had to hold an eel for a vet to do a blood draw and that eel ended up on the floor 47 times out of 48 attempts

It's a combination of a bunch of things, I think -- history is just moving faster in general -- but if you had to single out a culprit, it's got to be the internet & social media. It's never been more visible to everyone that the social order *could be otherwise*, that's it's essentially arbitrary.

Players are roleplaying in Fortnite to teach each other their rights when encountering ICE officials
“I would slip [the warrant] under the door, but there’s no space under the door,” the agent says.
The civilian pauses. “Well. Sounds like a personal problem.”

This is your take.
My take is that in the US, we often don't realize how horrific something that happens to Black men all the time is, until it starts happening to non-Black people.
Pointing out that 50K people are in ICE detention, but 200,000 Black people are in pretrial detention, works.

And one reason it is counterproductive in my opinion to make it is that there is a definite effort to ask us to ignore immigrants‘ situation because “Americans have it so bad and we don’t have capacity” and we need to reject that conservative rhetorical frame

Excellent thread. Always happy to see people engage with Lewis
A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

It’s that public transit in the US is treated in most cities like the thing you slap on after the fact.

I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much).
If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking:
-fancy ginger beer
-coconut water
-premium juices like lychee and guava
-apple cider with cinnamon
-Italian sodas
-sparkling water
Lots of options!
