This is one of the best articulations I've seen from a politician about addressing homelessness humanely at the local level. This is key! Take note Minneapolis!
Relatedly, it's imperative that the city and our partners have a comprehensive plan in place to track the individuals living in the encampments following the closures. Time and again, I have heard from service providers that in order to help their clients get into stable housing, in order to keep people alive, in order to provide the support that we know they need, the providers have to know where their clients are. Providers who have experienced recent encampment closures in Minneapolis describe losing their clients for months at a time, setting back months or even years of progress; spending more time searching for clients than providing needed medical care or other services; and losing people for good, never knowing what happened to them.
This serves no one, least of all those most in need of our support.

On legitimising yet another pogrom.
Some prefer to step two degrees away from the above conclusion, blaming the violence not on one discrete crime, but rather on long-simmering discontent about “unfettered immigration”, to use the words offered by loyalist MP Jim Allister, in the wake of last year’s Ballymena riots. Such riots are appalling, the argument goes, but their anger reflects a legitimate concern; that immigration has simply gone too far.

Again, we risk demeaning ourselves by pointing out that rates of migration into Northern Ireland have never been connected to any rise in crime, and represent a tremendous benefit to the economy, from workers in hospitality and agri-business sectors to manufacturing and academia. Migrants are most beneficial in the health and care sectors, with 22 per cent of carers in the state coming from outside the UK and Ireland, without whom Tracey Reid, chief executive of the Northern Ireland Social Care Council, says the sector “could not survive”. Such statistics are, of course, broadly similar throughout the UK and Ireland, and were regarded as truisms until it became seemingly gauche for any prominent newspaper or politician to repeat them, in favour of contorting gymnastically to flatter the perceptions and prejudices of those who just hate migrants for entirely racist reasons. No matter how much they contribute to society, and no matter how few of them there are.

A compelling argument that this is the case can be found in the demographics of Northern Ireland itself. Its current population is just shy of two million. According to the most recent figures available, net migration in the state between 2001 and 2023 amounted to around 62,000 people, including less than 2,400 refugees in secure accommodation. Ballymena, which until this week had been the most prominent site of anti-immigrant violence in the state, sits in the Mid and East Antrim council area, which has seen fewer than 5,000 international migrants settle there this century. Only 3 per cent of Northern Ireland’s population belong to any ethnic minority at all.

For those of us who find the constant discussion of “the immigration problem” dehumanising and dishonest in any context, it’s revealing to see it deployed in places where immigration barely exists, not least for what it might suggest about such legitimate concerns everywhere else. We are left to presume that any number of non-white faces, no matter how few, is a salient enough horror for locals that their concerns become legitimised automatically. Even one, it would seem, is one too many.Most confusing of all has been the near-total absence of any context regarding who, exactly, is committing all this violence. The reluctance among media outlets to specify that these pogroms are the work of far-right loyalist gangs is particularly odd, given that such groups are fond of signing their work. The LVF, and associated gangs, have for decades sprayed their tags on the houses of the people they burn out, whether Catholics, economic migrants or refugees. Even now their graffiti proudly adorns walls and estates, demanding they be reserved for “locals only”. I’m old enough to remember when the LVF attacked the specially modified home of a severely disabled child because his family was insufficiently Protestant. I’m old enough to remember it because it happened less than two years ago.

When loyalist gangs burned Catholic families out of their homes in past years, there were few stern and sombre pleas that we should understand the arsonists’ concerns. Nor was there a reflexive jolt to place such acts in a context the perpetrators themselves might have liked, perhaps by drawing direct links between their violent acts and the existence of alleged crimes committed by disconnected Catholics many miles away. That this same logic is no longer applied to vast acts of violence against dozens of non-white people of all nationalities in Belfast, purportedly due to the actions of a single man from Sudan, is as preposterous as it is repulsive.

Saw this sign about tear gas aftermath as it affects food gardening at Open Streets Lyndale yesterday. It is by no means the greatest crime committed against the people of Minnesota this winter, but add it to the ledger anyway.
Safe Gardens after Tear Gas
Tear gas canisters, like those used by ICE during Operation Metro Surge, can release heavy metals like lead, zinc, barium, and chromium into the environment. There is relatively little research about how these contaminants spread when tear gas is used. One study conducted in Portland, OR found concentrations were highest within 1-2 blocks (300-600 feet) of where the tear gas went off. If you think tear gas was used near your garden, sign up to get your soil tested.
Best practices for contaminant-safe gardens
Garden in raised beds-adding 1-2 feet of new soil in beds dilutes contaminants and reduces the risk of harm.
Reduce exposure from soil dust and erosion by planting grass or clover or by adding thick layers of mulch around your garden.
Add compost to increase soil organic matter. This decreases the movernent of pollutants.
Adding lime to your soil increases the PH, making it harder for heavy metals to move into plants or water.
Are my veggies safe to eat?
Soil containing contaminants can stick to veggies, especially root vegetables, leafy greens, and herbs. The dust of polluted soils can coat surfaces, so it's important to wash veggies thoroughly
Contact us: soilsafterteargas@gmail.com or (612) 440-9435

Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health.

When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.”

Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”
