ICYMI: This week I rode along with a Unitarian Universalist minister as she patrolled the same neighborhood where Renee Good was killed, looking for ICE.
“We’re gonna keep taking care of people who are impacted,” she told me. “We’re gonna keep getting braver.” religionnews.com/2026/01/14/i...

In the neighborhood where Renee Good was killed, a pastor keeps patrolling for ICE
MINNEAPOLIS (RNS) — ‘There’s no option for me,’ said the Rev. Ashley Horan during a neighborhood patrol. ‘It is my responsibility to care for my neighbors in this way.’

Is there a bureau of exactly how much everyone should care about each thing and does the Atlantic run it and how does it measure that care and who exactly is the left anyway, and here we are in the US of A where the right regards human rights violations unto death with grisly enthusiasm, hello?

I wrote a quick blog post in 2014 titled "police reforms you should always oppose." It went viral and became the basis of a chart created by Critical Resistance to evaluate abolitionist steps. Money for training and body cams were the first two on my list.

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

NEW: I spoke with this bishop, who offered more context for his (entirely unprepared!) remarks.
Turns out other bishops (e.g., in MN) agree with him, and he recalled the moment he told local priests to get their wills in order.
“There was a little gasp,” he said. religionnews.com/2026/01/15/t...

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.
