We’ve paid rent for over 270 households so far in February and we currently have a waitlist that totals over $30,000.

We distributed rents one by one.
We can’t even think about March rent yet.

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

A good thing you can do about this instead of dooming is Google “how to become a poll observer in [your town]”

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:

In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

The G.O.P. Senator Who Can’t Stop Thinking About the Boy ICE Detained Katie Britt is uniquely positioned to reason with the Trump administration — when she chooses to speak up.

Representative Joaquin Castro of Texas said in a post on social media that he had picked up Liam and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, from the Dilley detention center on Saturday night and escorted them to Minnesota on Sunday morning. He shared photos of the two on social media, including one showing Liam at the airport clutching what appeared to be a Pikachu toy and wearing a Pikachu backpack. Mr. Castro was part of a delegation of Democratic lawmakers who visited Liam and his father at the detention center last week, where he said Liam’s father had reported that the child was “very depressed” and hadn’t been eating well since they were detained earlier this month.

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:

A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"

But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

The US government is spending taxpayer dollars to sue a 5-year-old refugee/kindergartener for seeking asylum here through the legal and proper channels when he was an infant

Oh my, this is stellar from start to finish. And what a speech! Thank you so much for sharing this!

Right? “Who laughs last?” 😂

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

Someone I know in Minnesota, and trust completely, is raising money for someone in a truly harrowing and heartbreaking situation due to ICE.

Non-Minnesota people whose networks aren’t tapped out, want to help, and trust me, you can venmo me at @wrigleyfield & I will pass on the donation immediately

omg 😂 lol

WTF? Why???? (I know, I know, it’s a rhetorical Why but why?????)

Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.

The suburban observers, heavily women, say they share a personality type.

Guess the drumbeats are starting. 🫤 What a shameful gig, normalizing a second try at a coup. Here’s hoping Blue states & Dems are listening and getting ready and not just counting on ordinary folks to fight back on our own (as you all have done so bravely in MN).

I’m not even from Philly and even I know he’s a legend lol. The man is nonstop and I LOVE the idea of him as the avenging AG we need!

ICE is afraid of children protesting “Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let On In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and surf...

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.

“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

Sadly, I have a personal ask: ICE kidnapped a staffer who works at my grandson’s daycare this weekend along with two other family members. Can you help the extended families with legal costs & famity support? It would mean a lot to me. I’m just sick about this. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here.

we will be going hard all day. i won’t be posting about it because I don’t want to flood your feeds.

Flier for a company that offers AI tutors that purport to tell you what happened in classes you missed. How they do this—is someone illegally recording the class?—isn’t made clear.

Just found this tacked up at the college at which I teach, which has recently signed a deal with Anthropic, which stole 6 of my books and books by 131 colleagues.
