Let tomorrow be the beginning. As we pare down to what is absolutely essential, let our stillness begin to tame the hungry ghost that torments this society. Together we can and must starve the beast.

What Should You Do if ICE Comes to Your Restaurant? We spoke to legal experts about what restaurant owners and workers can do to protect themselves from immigration raids

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids
