Like with using children as bait and eating at a restaurant then kidnapping the people who prepared it, ICE is routinely breaking taboos that have been part of human civilization since before recorded history.
Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.

ICE drawdown? Indications point to steady enforcement activity outside the Twin Cities

When the NEA was conceived after the WPA folded this could have been the mission. Instead conservatives pushed to cut funding because they didn't approve of some of the artists that won grants. (They also complained about how much the WPA cost despite it being the reason America has infrastructure)
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Whistles are compatible with documentation and showing care, and I’m so confused about the whistle hate. Maybe their communities are very different from ours, but here we don’t like ICE operating in silence and secrecy, and loud noises help make sure that doesn’t happen.
Ugh. The main anti-ICE group in Washington which has 44k followers on Facebook and has been going around to communities promoting classes is now promoting this anti-whistle nonsense for "harm reduction" reasons as well.

Interesting report on the economic health of Chicago’s constellation of independent venues that’s also strangely agnostic towards LiveNation and Ticketmaster’s impact
Only 1 in 4 of Chicago’s indie music venues is profitable. Owners say that data spells potential trouble
Sold-out shows aren’t enough. Higher costs are undercutting business everywhere, owners say, from juggernauts like Metro to neighborhood venues like the Ramova.

if you think their business model is based on finding lost puppies, boy do I have an authoritarian military industrial state apparatus to upsell you
“The company launched its Search Party feature in September and, despite some misgivings about it being enabled by default (and concerns around privacy and relationships with law enforcement), the company is taking a victory lap with a Super Bowl commercial.”

"basic feminist aspirations would require a radical overhaul of society and the worldwide reactionary backlash is driven in large part by the gains of feminism in the last 60 years"
Okay so the only problem with metoo was it didnt go far enough, in light of the file drop
Though tbh now i think a lot of the stuff that people claimed was too far especially what was associated with MeToo now seems super reasonable as the MeToo reaction explicitly morphs into a pro-rape and pro-harassment faction
