Frankly, I'm sick of major news organizations writing stories about Harry Potter without grappling seriously with the vile and disgusting actions he undertook as an undergraduate, such as turning my penis into a venomous serpent, whch was humiliating and swept under the rug by the official accounts

the bot accounts pretending to be resist libs going all in on “it’s going to come to violence, prepare yourselves” on a dime is telling me everything I needed to know about who’s running those accounts, or at least what they are for

watching sobbing teenagers getting pulled out of their cars by masked goons glowering at us through tiny slits in their fully-masked uniforms, brandishing weapons at the crowd, and launching huge amounts of teargas into parks and businesses to make their escape

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

We tend to think of things happening in the present as the endpoint of stuff that's been percolating for decades, but it's also the beginning of new things: These are formative events that nobody living through them will forget, and we have no idea what seeds are being sown for the future.
I keep thinking about how Frances Perkins, maybe the most transformational cabinet secretary in modern history, witnessed the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in her youth, and the things the people on the ground in Minneapolis may live to do.

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd.
