LEFT: My family’s synagogue in Minneapolis, this morning.

RIGHT: My Lincoln Square neighborhood, 2017.

In 2017, in response, we held rally led by @indivisible.org. 500+ allies.

A photo of a two story wooden Italianate house with highly intact original details, like round widow and door tops. Its front yard is covered in a bed of prairie plants rather than grass.

A photo of a two story brick and wood coach house along an alley, accessed from the alley via a light gray painted wooden staircase that passes a little pop-out window bay on its way to a dark gray door above the garage level.

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.

Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

I can’t help but again note that the *paywall* this important @theverge.com story lives behind accelerates the decline of the very democratic information ecosystem the story itself aims to slow.
