I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Indefinite detention is not supposed to be a thing in America. That’s how you know this is more like a concentration camp rn, and it’s not the only one.

Wow. I mean, wow. It is so refreshing to hear people telling the truth. „Detain first, find authority later“ is what a police state does.

I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.

Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

This sounds bad, but I don’t understand what that means. Is there an explanation you could link to?

Essentially, what stops abductions is when crowds outnumber the masked kidnappers. When people aggressively follow ICE with whistles and horns, crowds are ready to show up. If they show up fast enough, ICE leaves and a family is not broken. (People here understand the stakes).

Europa sollte geschlossen die Fußball-WM 2026 boykottieren. Lasst uns doch in Europa stattdessen ein fröhliches völkerverbindendes Fußballturnier austragen. Die Zeit der FIFA sollte vorbei sein. Gründen wir stattdessen eine kleine, gemeinschaftlich organisierte Non-Profit-Fußballvereinigung.

"Machine translation would handle the heavy lifting, and we’d add the expert polish. Except the machine made a mess. And we’re doing expert-level cognitive labour to clean it up for cleaning wages.

We’re not mops. We’re translators."
