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.

'Yes, this is Mordor,' said Frodo. 'Just one of its works...'
Saruman laughed... 'I have already done much that you will find it hard to mend or undo in your lives.'

Girls love it when you need a holiday. A very long holiday. When you don’t expect you will return. In fact you mean not to.
“Girls love it when” + [any LOTR quote] = banger tweet, every time.
Case in point:
Girls love it when you throw down your enemy and smote their ruin upon the mountainside

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

If you’re bragging that people are afraid to go fishing because of your actions, you might be the bad guys.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Sam: It’s all wrong By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”
