You are not the hero. You are not the story. You are there to help and to serve as a helper for a horrible day in your community.

Always follow those impacted.
Mirac has a great reminder:

Please take direction from immigrant rights groups, and families.
Follow. Don’t charge in and try to lead.

The answer is obvious when you think about it, but I wrote a whole blog about bike-lane clearing a couple years ago.

The answer might surprise you. Or not. We don't know you.

I saw an ICE raid today in Cedar-Riverside. The man they took said repeatedly he was a U.S. Citizen and had ID. They put him in a car they sped off at an unsafe speed. Not that I expected much, but I called 911 and reported their behavior. The dispatcher asked "what I wanted them to do about it."

Wow, I guess this “AI” thing may have some merits after all.

Look how much “better” this looks now.

You honestly can’t even tell.

Imagine if, say, 330 million of us got together and did this….
Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

This.

I’m so grateful to be in community with so many neighbors & caregivers at my kids’ public school to help organize around keeping families safe as they get to/from school, but so upset that this is the reality we live in.

We keep us safe.
In a functioning society parents wouldn’t need to organize volunteer guard shifts at their kids’ immigrant-run daycare to prevent the federal government from abducting teachers and staff because they’re brown but that’s where we are now.

My first shift starts Wednesday afternoon.

Fuck ICE.

Kids are so good at finding joy and play wherever they go, including on a short and relatively mundane walk to school. ❄️
