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.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Anti-human, anti-life; corrosive of sociality, civility, decency, dignity, piety, and fear of God; cynically contemptuous of truth in its abject nihilism; a stain on Christian witness for those who make themselves complicit—the cancerous rot of MAGA must go.

Reminds me of this under-resourced Ukrainian army officer who, nevertheless, described successfully terrorizing a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math."
Someone commented, saying, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

The Trump administration used a picture of Halo’s Master Chief to call for the destruction of immigrants. Something about seeing the stalwart hero of a beloved video game twisted into an anti-immigrant super soldier hit people pretty hard.

Hey, @jbbrisco.com, @bynatetaylor.bsky.social, and @realmnchiefsfan.bsky.social, remember how KC fans used to complain about Andy Reid's time management. Obviously, now we don't need to. Do you think those struggles happened because he hadn't gotten a qb yet who played on the level he coached?

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful.
Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood.
We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

Guys, it happened. This morning started like normal. I pulled on my socks and shoes, let my dog Cozy outside, she started sniffing all the trails of little overnight guests. Then suddenly...🦨.
She chased. I yelled. The skunk sprayed. We all regret it.
