Dear Nox, King Baby, Noximus Maximus, Big Steppe, Noxy Boy, Noxanne, Bubbs, Bubby, Bubba. It has been 6 years. You kept me sane as a baby nurse, cuddled me after night shifts and slept with me thousands of times. You’re my shadow, the baby of the house. Happy Gotcha day lil man. #adopt #blackcat

Immediately on the heels of a rampage in which ICE mercenaries inflicted four deaths in eight days, last night an employee at the ICE detainment center in Aurora, Colorado shot a protester who took a photograph of his vehicle. Abolish ICE. Abolish DHS. Fight back. www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

There may be some niche examples somewhere, but I cannot think of any system, natural or human-made, that isn't strengthened by more diversity. Ecology, biology, economics, politics, agriculture... am I missing anything? This lesson is reflected everywhere and in everything.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

It's not just the St. Paul Doubletree. The Intercontinental in downtown St Paul is also shutting for now. According to the Pioneer Press, they're both operated by an indigenous tribe, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. FYI, ICE has been arresting Native Americans. www.twincities.com/2026/01/18/h...
An employee who answered the phone at the Minnesota Street hotel confirmed the hotel was closing Sunday and said it was undetermined when it would reopen.

The IHG InterContinental was also closing, the Associated Press reported.

Over the phone, a front desk employee at the Kellogg Boulevard hotel said it was closing for the safety of the staff, but declined to comment on the safety concerns.

The DoubleTree and InterContinental hotels had empty lobbies with signs out front saying they were “temporarily closed for business until further notice.”
