I guess it's only fair to warn people that if I don't know you or recognize you from an interaction, then I'll probably block you as soon as you follow me.

At this point I'm not sure how many nails are in the coffin of China's formerly diverse state language policy, but here's one more for good measure npcobserver.com/2026/01/27/c...
China Amends Common Language Law to Expand Mandarin Use
The law's initial overhaul incorporates the Communist Party's latest ethnic policy formulations, reflects the narrowing scope of bilingual education in ethnic schools, and mandates Mandarin

This is Georgia Fort's website — the independent journalist also arrested today for covering the anti-ICE protest, along with Don Lemon. Donations to her page support her journalism — and I'm sure now her legal defense for doing that journalism.

Okay, thank you everyone! We have found help and have a plan.
I agreed that a friend moving out of town could store boxes at my house for several months until they are established in their new location. But apparently they are also expecting me to figure out transporting boxes to my house... Does anyone in Philly have a vehicle free from the snow?

If anyone can help, that would be appreciated. With a vehicle. Either today or this weekend.
I realize the support intended, but I do not actually need anyone to dunk on my friend who is clearly overwhelmed by the logistics of their move.

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.

The number of children in ICE detention on a given day has skyrocketed, jumping more than sixfold since the start of the second Trump administration. We analyzed data obtained by the Deportation Data Project and found that ICE held around 170 children on an average day under Trump.

Here’s the thing about self checkout. Companies have determined that it is more cost effective to take the loss from theft that automation eases than it is to pay people to work in their stores. When one puts it like that, the quality of the tech or the apparent convenience* are beside the point.+

And also: don't wait for ICE to arrive to start building unions of care.
There are already people who need support in your community. Organizing to help them now means that they'll be better able to help others in the future, and that the union of care will be ready if/when ICE arrives.

It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to
- create safe spaces
- protect schools
- get kids TO school
- check on neighbors
- deliver groceries
- help pay the rent
- let people know of danger
- feed the helpers, too!

Your Facebook/Cable News addict friends will believe there's been a meaningful shift in the Tone or whatever in Minneapolis because that's what the man behind the podium said and all the journalists repeated it. Actual people on the ground notice nothing has changed because nothing has.
Trump's core audience is people who don't leave their houses, either because they have no interests or they're terrified of the outside world. Say something on TV and it's effectively Real to them. Democrats can't replicate that speaking to an audience of people whose lives involve the real world.
