Some incredible ice cream sandwich journalism from @taraduggan.bsky.social with an assist from J.D. Morris. Did beloved local treat provider It’s It change its mint formula? And what does it have to do with … RFK Jr.? www.sfchronicle.com/food/article...

For every arrest that breaks through into public view, countless others happen quickly, before anyone can notice. Now ICE is anywhere and everywhere, embedded in all corners of everyday life.

This post really pissed me off. As someone who has been an activist for forty years and training activists, organizers and non-profit leaders for 15 years, one of the most relevant factors for continued engagement is whether people enjoy the work, feel like they belong, and find community in it.
