An honest question: is there a reason ICE agents look like a vigilante group?Can ICE not afford uniforms? And, officially, why masks? I’m assuming fear of future retribution,but most of the people they detain are not gangs members,and they should know if they are if that’s the reason for arrest.

This administration is literally sending children away to die. The children also happen to be US citizens. Stopping them is not enough. Voting them out is not enough. They must be held accountable.

This is from a Politico article. Honest question for journalists: is part of your training to interrogate people statements and assumptions or just to report what they said? I’ve seen so many people say things like this without any attempts to substantiate or clarify the statement.

I wrote a quick letter to the editor, it’s easy and even if they aren’t published they drive interest in a topic of the paper.

This took me about 10 minutes to look up the data and write. It’s easy to do, and catches a broad local audience. Even if letters to the editor don’t get published they tell the paper there is something worth writing about. Take 10 minutes, write one and submit it - there nothing to lose.
